IDR

>From the NetBackukp 5.1 Release Notes:

2. With the next major release of NetBackup, VERITAS will replace
Intelligent Disaster Recovery (IDR) with the Bare Metal Restore
(BMR) product. The BMR option offers an automated system recovery
that is best suited for NetBackup. Therefore, VERITAS will drop 
support for IDR in stages making sure to not alienate any back-level
IDR clients still in need of our support. The following list
provides more information on the level of support that will be
available.

o  VERITAS will drop support for the IDR client in the next major
release of NetBackup.
o  The IDR Server sill ship with the next major release of NetBackup to
support back-level IDR clients.
o  VERITAS is projecting that the IDR Server will be decommissioned in
two major releases from NetBackup 5.1.
