Hello Everyone again :-)
I am looking at a possible disaster recovery solution, and I would be
grateful for anyone's opinions on this matter.

Current Set-up:

Pure Windows NT / 2000 Domain Structure.
1 x NT Master Server and 1 x NT Media Server Multihosting drives from an
ADIC Scalar 100 Robot. Veritas Netbackup is installed on the E: Partition of
these Servers. Operating System is on C:
30 x NT/2000 Clients

I have a single NT Master Server on its own which I will make use of to
perform backups.

I know I can use bprecover to recover the Netbackup DB in the event that the
Master Server goes down, but I am looking for a faster way to recover either
the master or media Server in the event that we lose the C: Partition.

So, what I was hoping to do would be to use my NT Single Master Server to
backup the C: Drives of my current Master and Media Servers and in the event
of a failure, simply use the Disaster Recover CD to get the system back from
a last good backup.

Then if need be, reinstall Netbackup back onto E: then use BPRecover to
recover the DB/Logs.

To build the servers manually will take approx 40-50 mins. Using the DR CD
made by Netbackup, the C: drive could be back within 8 mins!

Could I have some comments on whether this sounds like a feasible plan?

Thanks
