Search for: esg109074 on Powerlink, I believe you have the answers to your 
questions in that article

Also search for Document: Technical Note P/N 300-010-339  "WINDOWS SERVER
2008 OFFLINE SYSTEM RECOVERY USING WINDOWS SERVER BACKUP WITH 
NETWORKER"<https://powerlink.emc.com/km/live1/en_US/Offering_Technical/Technical_Documentation/300-010-339.pdf>

We tested it and found the solution workable but we have decided to not use it 
in production, we will wait for NW 762 instead.
