NetBackup doesn't seem to give you much help for DR planning. 
     
     What we are doing is to take regular Ignite images of the NetBackup 
     master/media server, including the NetBackup software. The NetBackup 
     catalogues are backed up seperately to tape. This uses a set of 
     scripts to get each nights catalogue backup on to a seperate tape as 
     Veritas seem to think that you'll want to alternate these backups 
     between the same two tapes.
     
     The procedure for DR is to build a replacement NetBackup sevrer using 
     the Ignite image. This gives us a working NetBackup system minus the 
     catalogue. The catalogue is then recovered from tape. We then change 
     the drive configuration to match the set up of the DR box.
     
     At this point we have a working Master/Media server. During the last 
     DR test this process took about 2 hours.

     Subject: [Veritas-bu] disaster recovery planning
     
     
     I am looking at setting up a disaster recovery plan for HP-UX and 
     NT/2000 and possibly Novell.  What NetBackup tools or software is 
     available or suggested for developing and mainitaining a disaster 
     recovery plan?  
     
     I know that NT is supposed to have a IDR (Intelligent Disaster 
     Recovery) tool, but I wasn't sure if there were similar tools for 
     Unix.  I have seen some products in the past that supposedly would 
     print out reports of everything that you needed for restoring the data 
     center to a point in time (with a lot of implied assumptions). 
     
     Thanks,
     Dan
