"Networker User" (the GUI used to perform recoveries - winworkr.exe) will 
show all the savesets for a client. My other Win 2008 R2 clients *do* show 
the "DISASTER_RECOVERY" saveset in NW User. And no, I don't use that to do 
a Win2008 R2 bare metal recovery. But if you choose the savesets, it will 
show you the required volumes. I did exactly this last week, with 2 other 
Win 2008 R2 clients. And it worked perfectly.

It's just that this client does not show the DISASTER_RECOVERY: saveset in 
NW User, and my other clients do ... 

I'm trying to get my users off it, so I can reboot it with the offline 
recover ISO, and see what *it* thinks is an available DISASTER_RECOVERY: 
saveset ...
