Re: [Networker] Disaster Recovery

Yup, that about covers it.

Having all your indexes on one tape will as well speed things up
tremendously. Some of my clients dont back up client indexes and then run a
savegrp -o to have all the indexes on one tape (speeds up your backup as
well - especially when sharing drives).

we have tested this quite a few times, and basically getting back  a backup
server and one client only takes a few hours (Bs had 10GB indexes, client
had 40GB data - took 3 hours, including OS installs....)

Yup, just email the output of "mminfo -b" offsite and use mmrecov to
restore your Legato server. Or perhaps I am missing something in terms
of what you're trying to accomplish.
