Just to ask the obvious question - how does the vendor expect you to perform 
backups of their proprietary system ? Do they have any recommendations that 
might help ?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up unformatted primary partitions

Hi all,
I have the pleasure of trying to protect data for a system that writes 
(obviously in a proprietary manner) data to an unformatted partition in 
Windows.  I've read the guides,  and see that it's unsupported by NBU (I tried 
anyways,  it teases you by actually backing up the blocks, then fails with a 
status code 1).

Just curious,  has anyone out there tried to do this without the use of 
hardware snapshots (which I think I'll have to fall back on)?

Cheers,
Jon
