Currently BMR server has to be on an AIX or Solaris box.  But you can =
keep the image server on any other supported box (windows) so if you =
have connectivity to the BMR server at the remote site you can =
initialize the BMR boot for Solaris from that server and get the actual =
images from a local server.  OR you initialize from a BMR server at the =
remote site and boot the windows with the current supported floppy =
method.  NBU master and BMR server dont have to be on same box.  Windows =
BMR is supposed to be out at the end of this year.

You cannot BMR the BMR server - you have to have a BMR server up to =
initialize the BMR.  Is that clear as mud?

  So we are looking to bare metal restore our Solaris e450 Server as =
part of our DR project.=20

  We currently our production database server is the same server as our =
Netbackup Server.=20

  This might change it might not.=20

  Option 1) BMR/Netbackup/DB server on one box=20
  Option 2) BMR/Netbackup on it's own box. DB server on it's own box.=20

  We are planing to only have a single Solaris server at our =
hotsite(2500KM away).=20

  I have been digging into the BMR docs and haven't really found an =
answer to the following question.=20

  How many Solaris boxes do i need at the hotsite? Can i get away with a =
single Solaris box. IE: boot the BMR from cd and restore the server onto =
itself or do i need a separate BMR box?=20

  Does the BMR box have to be on a Solaris box or can i boot a Solaris =
box with a windows BMR server?=20

  Thanks,=20
