System board backup and restore system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a replacement system board;
• a replacement system board Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) processing system that is included on the replacement system board;
• and
• a replacement system board BMC memory system that is included on the replacement system board, that is coupled to the replacement system board BMC processing system, and that includes instructions that, when executed by the replacement system board BMC processing system, cause the replacement system board BMC processing system to provide a replacement system board BMC engine that is configured to:
• identify, during initialization of the IHS, a first CMB device in a first storage device that is coupled to the BMC processing system;
• retrieve, from the first CMB device subsequent to identifying the first CMB device, first firmware that was backed up in the first CMB device by a replaced system board BMC device included on a replaced system board that was previously included in the IHS and coupled to the storage device;
• and
• install the first firmware on at least one replacement system board subsystem that is included on the replacement system board.

A method for backing up and restoring a system board, comprising:

• identifying, by a replacement system board Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) device on a replacement system board in a computing device during initialization of the computing device, a first CMB device in a first storage device that is included in the computing device;
• retrieving, by the replacement system board BMC device from the first CMB device subsequent to identifying the first CMB device, first firmware that was backed up in the first CMB device by a replaced system board BMC device included on a replaced system board that was previously included in the computing device;
• and
• installing, by the replacement system board BMC device, the first firmware on at least one replacement system board subsystem that is included on the replacement system board.
