Bpimport supports a backupid switch which should allow for disk import.
However I've never tried it myself.

Hi
 
I do not know about the import of an disk image, But if you do not require
the backup to be performed using netbackup, do the following. 
 
Use the windows builtin backup command and write the image out to disk. Use
the copy feature so that it does not change your production machine.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] restoring from a disk based backup



Hi,

We need to create a domain controller in a test environment that exactly
mirrors a production domain controller. We're using Netbackup and backing up
to a disk array. There is a tape drive on the production environment, but
not on the test environment. The 2 networks have no connectivity between
them.

I was going to transfer a disk image from the production domain controller
to the test environment through the use of an external USB hard drive, and
then import the image on the test Netbackup server. However, it appears from
the Netbackup documentation that you cannot import from a disk based image.

Does anyone know of any workarounds?

The specs are:

Windows 2000 Server
Netbackup Server 5.0 MP2
