The Bare Metal Restore product is the only thing I've seen like this. It
is an extra product, so extra cost, but looks like it works pretty well.

We've tried doing a DR type recovery of a sco machine and having the
backup overwrite the root partition and it didn't work.

Bootable restores? Are they supported via Veritas? If so, how do you
make
one?

By this I mean, can I do a backup of an entire boot partition and then
restore it
after a hard crash for Disaster Recovery by booting via some means
(like CD)
that
has the added Veritas stuff (bpcd and bprd in /etc/services,
/etc/inetd.conf
|
etc/xinetd.d/bpcd, /usr/openv/*) and do the recovery to a disk mounted
in a
secondary location, like /mnt? How would one do this, and what is
necessary?

You don't mention a platform, but on HP-UX you can use Ignite
make_recovery
or make_tape_recovery. I have not heard of such a thing from Veritas,
but
perhaps someone else knows for sure.
