That sounds like something we could use. Does IDR come bundled with NBU 3.2
or do you have to purchase it separately?

Oh, sorry, it's "Intelligent Disaster Recovery" for NT.  Yes, I know this
is an oxymoron, but that's what they called it.  :)

It creates a profile file and a mini-OS that you boot from, and then goes
out to the netbackup server and restores the system.  

At least that's the theory.  I'm having some problems with it.  It gets to
the "Next" to continue restore, but the "Next" button doesn't DO anything.
Most frustrating.  I have a ticket open with Veritas, and I'll post the
results when I get something.
