I have also been successful with the following Windows NT type restore:
Format the number of drives required for the bare metal restore of the comp=
lete system (such as c: & d:)
Format an additional small drive (such as e:)
Install the Windows OS and NBU client on the e: drive and boot from the e: =
drive
Restore the c: and d: drives from NBU
Reboot from the c: drive
Delete the e: drive and absorb that space back into one of the other drives=

Just so you'll know, this is the basic precept for Veritas BMR only BMR doe=
s all this for you automagically under the table. We have Veritas BMR and a=

ccess. I have never been successful in getting the in-place restore to work=
when you do it over the top of the active OS.

Here's the quick bmr rundown by OS type (if not using an actual BMR product=
):
Windows: Install OS and NBU client. Perform an in-place full restore overto=
p of OS. Reboot.
Unix: Get a system up and running with OS and NBU client. Have a second har=
d disk available. Full restore to second hard disk. Be sure to install any =
necessary boot blocks/boot loaders. Swap drive to 'primary' slot.
I've used the Unix procedure many times, and the Windows one a few.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] bare metal restore
The short answer is you'll have to build it yourself if you can't buy the
BMR from Veritas. I"m not even sure BMR is good on v3.4.
Otherwise, you'll have to jump/kick/install your OS, install the client, &
start a restore of missing stuff. Warning, you can't overwrite your OS
directories on restore or you'll trash your libraries & kill the restore.
It's mostly a manual process with the base-level software.
