I am fairly new to EMC Networker and UNIX. All of UNIX systems we have are for 
development purposes. We currently have some HP-UX, AIX, and Solaris. We 
actually still have a couple SGI Irix systems on but I am not worried about if 
they die. 

I have already restored a Solaris system using EMC Networker which was not that 
difficult. However, on HP-UX and AIX I have never restored a system. I have 
been doing some research trying to find out the best way to to make sure I can 
restore the root volumes. HP-UX has the ignite application and AIX has mksysb 
for create a backup of the root volume. After looking around at the systems 
none of them have tape drives or CD/DVD burners. None of the HP-UX systems have 
ignite installed on them. We do not have a NIM server for the AIX systems. My 
only guess is that our old UNIX admin reinstalled the OS and then used EMC 
Networker to dump the data back. Would this work for restoring the root volume?
