I am guessing no one uses BMR on Windows then :-)
During alot of my testing yesterday, I have identified that "corrupt" driver messages you get do seem to be related to "drivers" that are not compatible with the Cut-Down version of Windows.
By going to a vendor specific site, I obtained some older drivers. After buring a few iso images and testing, I got to the stage where I could actually see what was happening at the client end, and watch as NetBackup recovered the Server.
Trial and Error it was ........ ! certainly was not as smooth as "Backup Exec System Recovery". More interesting, is that the Guidelines for BMR state it can recover a Windows System in less than 15 mins.
Do not agree with this (so far), as my test box being a quad core processor with 8GB Ram has taken 42 mins to fully complete.
Again, more testing to be done. But still interested if anyone else is using the product.
For Info, I am able to recover a System using BESR in 4 mins from the point of recovering until recovery has completed.
Thanks, Si

Subject: Anyone using BMR ?
Hi
Anyone using BMR in NetBackup 6.5.3 in a Windows environment, or had luck setting this up?
Been reading the Admin Guide (which I have to say has been a little useless) and am at the point where I am using it in my test lab.
I have ben having issues with Drivers which I dont think are compatible or work correctly with the "cut down" ISO Image of Windows.
But just curious if anyone is using it, and how they are getting on. Once I can get things working in test, I can move to live.
If anyone has any links to additional details on this, that would be apprecaited. The Symantec Tech Search is ok, but certainly not helped with some of the issues being experience.
Makes me wonder if I should go back to BESR Server - But as this was chucked in, and is meant to be an "All in one", its got to be worth going for....
Regards
Simon
