An administrator restores all of the user directories from a failed server to a different server from another manufacturer. Which of the following restore methods was performed?

An OS Restore involves restoring the entire operating system, which is not applicable here as only user directories are being restored.

A Bare Metal Restore typically involves restoring an entire system (OS, applications, data) to a machine, often requiring identical or very similar hardware, which is contradicted by restoring only user directories to a server from 'another manufacturer'.

A Snapshot Restore is usually associated with virtual machines or storage volumes, restoring the entire state at a point in time, and does not specifically describe restoring only user directories to a different physical server.

A data restore specifically involves restoring files and directories (like user directories) without necessarily restoring the operating system or applications, making it highly portable across different hardware platforms and manufacturers.
