Yes this is true for Windows below 2008R2 and 7.6.2. 7.6.2 offer for Win
2008R2 true BMR options. Read more ID:esg121662.
This is "free" for Win 2008R2 and 7. Disaster recovery you need
NetWorkerWindowsDisasterRecovery_7.6.2-638_x86.iso

You can also bought this BMR functions for earlier versions of Windows
and other OS. http://www.emchomebase.com/pg/product/productset.html or
use ASR save set for earlier versions than 2008R2 of Windows.
