The Windows DR capabilities is contained in the NetWorker 7.6SP2 client, which
can be used with NetWorker 7.5 Servers. I think the only issue is this support
was tested with NetWorker 7.5.3 or later, you are using 7.5.2. There is no
NetWorker server dependencies for Windows DR.

So in other words, I'll get all the same benefits and limitations as using the
7.5.2 client? I understand that, and can live with it, for the next
2-3 weeks until I can upgrade the server, for full support.
I really want and need that "Windows Disaster Recovery" feature, but can't
upgrade the server right now. Soon, soon ...
