I was referred to this group from another group. I'm not using Networker but I'm
using a software similar (Netvault). Good newsgroup devoted to Backups are hard 
to
come by so I will only ONLY post this type of message once since it is beyond 
the
scope of this newsgroup.

I'm in the process of implementing Diaster Recovery of the OS for my Tru64 
servers.
My backup software and tape drive is installed on a Windows 2000 and my clients 
are
unix machines.
I have done Disaster recovery from a UNIX backup server but never from a windows
server. What I have done in the past is, for DR, I usually use dumps, 
vrestores, and
mt to  restore my system (not using the backup software). However, by having a
Windows Backup server with the tape drive connected to it, I cannot use the rsh
from the unix machine in order to to get to my dump files. Can somebody share 
tips
on DR with a tape drive connected to a windows machine trying to restore a UNIX 
box,
preferrable using mt commands and other utilities? If you know of a better way, 
let
me know.

Vishu
