NetWorker 7.4.5 will work with Windows 2008 (R1).  It will *not* do DR
of Windows 2008.  EMC has stated that to perform DR of Windows 2008
systems, you have to use WSB because Microsoft has publicly stated that
overwriting the running OS is not supported (and that's the NetWorker DR
method -- install base system, restore backup over running system).

So, the direct answer is that no matter what version of NetWorker you
are running, you have to use WSB to be able to do DR.  Whether you tie
that into NetWorker or run it on the side is up to you.  EMC wants you
to tie it into NetWorker using savepnpc.
