Jeff, I think you might be reading too much into it. I certainly wasn't
intending to demean anyone's position. My team, backup and storage, is
separate from the Sys Admins so I was merely asking if the feature was or
could be made easy enough for a non-NBU person to handle. Typically, the
Ops team lays down the OS, then Sys Admins finalize it, so I don't know
where the responsibility would lie if we implement BMR. As I stated, I
don't want it to end up on my team.



>>From the couple of responses received so far, it sounds like it should be
fairly straightforward, as long as there is some education and
documentation.



Thanks,

Rusty

Ops or OS? By OS you mean Operating System i.e. System Administrator?



Having been a SysAdmin for over 14 years I'm a bit miffed at comparing

that job to "operator". In the U.S. at least many SysAdmins ARE the

backup admins as well. Operators on the other hand typically monitor

things and/or kick off specific tasks.



So the answer to your question is yes I believe OS person could do BMR

(as noted by others there were already OS specific tools for OS recovery

on some platforms). For Operators I'd say if you could document it

well enough to wear it tells them exactly what buttons to push and when

then yes they could do it. My experience with Operators says that the

bright ones are few and far between so I typically don't expect much of

them.

Can anyone chime in on if an Ops or OS person can handle running a BMR

restore?

I was very interested in these replies and so far, like the answers. I

have

one more question: Are BMR recoveries simple enough for a non-NBU admin

(such as DC or OS Support personnel) to handle, with proper

documentation

of course?







Our team won't want to implement BMR if it means that each time a system

needs to be recovered a call goes out to the on-call backup admin.
