I'm going to be giving a jumpstart flash archive a try soon.

As i understand it, flash archives take a snapshot or image of the system.

I'm going to try a cd flash archive 1st(i'll be excluding a bunch of 
stuff) and then a dvd boot able image will be next.

Then i'm going to do dvd bruns of the system from time to time.

Export my catalogs to another server and exclude my BMR directories.

Should a disaster happen, I'll boot the dvd and reimage my master, grab 
the catalog tapes from another server and then restore my Bare Metal 
restores to /export on the master.

If i can't get my catalog for some reason, then i'll merge my tapes.

Then i should be in good shape to rebuild my non netbackup network 
servers.
