Anyone here have any experience with Veritas Netbackup's Bare Metal Restore

[Scott]

To all,

My company wants me to evaluate enterprise backup solutions with a
focus on disaster recovery. As I am sure most people realize when
they do the disaster recovery excercise that even though they do
backups it does not necessarily mean that they could easily recover
servers in the event of a disaster.

So with the new direction of coming up with a new backup strategy that
will allow us to easily recover our critical unix servers in a
reasonable amount of time (under 24hr). Our Unix environment consists
of a couple AIX HACMP clusters and about 20 or so Sun servers... So I
am wondering if anyone has any experience with Netbackup's Bare Metal
Restore? Does it work as advertised? I look forward to your
responses.

Thanks,

Scott

I'm not sure how the bare metal would work. I know that many
AIX users use the mksysb command.

Maybe take a look at [url]www.lone-tar.com[/url] to see if they have a solution.
