David,

Things, for the time being, seem stable. We are currently running BMR 4.7 
SP1 and netbackup Netbackup 5.0 MP2.

Our client servers are Solaris 8 and Windows 2000.

With the win2k servers, i had to make sure that hotfixes were not applied. 
Testing showed that some hotfixes conflicted with the BMR. Win2k servers 
only have Sp3 or Sp4.

4.7Mp1 does have the ability to apply hot fixes but i haven't gone that 
route yet since I'm don't want/have time to modify our dr plan. Same 
things applies to NB MP3.

We only have 1 NB server. The server is Solaris 8. We are using solaris's 
flasharchive(flarcreate) to protect our NB server. We burn the archive to 
dvd. In the event of a disaster, we boot off of cd and apply the dvd flash 
archive to recover the NB server.

We have BMR working at the patch levels we are at. It was a tough road 
getting there. Good luck with your testing.

Karl
