I've tested BMR and recovery is quite good. I just ran "ok boot -net"
during a recovery(well..after telling BMR to prepare a restore for the
client) and everything was done for me by BMR like installing
OS/vxvm/vxfs, configured veritas volumes/filesystems, installed
netbackup client, and restore data from backups...all done
automatically. less manual intervention...less babysitting..less delay.
=20
If you've got BMR ...I agree.. it's the way to go...the only thing that
you might want to resort to using flash archives or ufsrestore is when
you are trying to recover master/media servers.
=20
The only challenging part of configuring BMR is the creation of SRTs...I
just hope that veritas would come up with an equivalent of the
flarcreate command of solaris in creating SRTs.=20

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Solaris disaster recovery
I find it alot easier to just do a ufsdump and then boot the
Solaris Software CD 1
and newfs the appropriate filesystems afterwich do a ufsrestore.
I hear that BMR is the way to go if you must use netbackup.

I'm going to be giving a jumpstart flash archive a try
soon.=20
=09
As i understand it, flash archives take a snapshot or
image of the system.=20
=09
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.
=09
Then i'm going to do dvd bruns of the system from time
to time.=20
=09
Export my catalogs to another server and exclude my BMR
directories.=20
=09
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.=20
=09
If i can't get my catalog for some reason, then i'll
merge my tapes.=20
=09
Then i should be in good shape to rebuild my non
netbackup network servers.=20
