No, but there will probably be a V5.2 pre-announcement update at Share in
Dallas February 24-28.
BMR has been mentioned as part of their intended product plan, but no
commitments on when. The issue is Veritas BMR is fine for like
configurations, but not disaster recovery where the configurations may be
very dissimilar in the windows environment. AIX already has BMR with
mksysb, Solaris with jumpstart, and HP-UX with Ignite. There are other
products that are much better for windows dissimilar restores coming to
market. The problem is nobody wants to pay for it when they think it should
be built into Windows. The other piece is reliable disk hardware and
corporate images are becoming so commonplace now, the only possible use for
a BMR solution is in a DR scenario and the DR vendors adamantly oppose BMR
right now because it is unreliable in a DR, very dissimilar environment.
