If you install a Netbackup client on a live-CD Linux such as Knoppix, you
can effectively do a bare-metal restore:

1. Boot the CD and get on the network as a client your Netbackup servers
will recognize.
2. Partition, mke2fs, and mount your disks.
3. Restore all the files.
4. Set up grub.
5. Boot your recovered system.

You could even write a script to do all this.

It's WAY easier than Windows.

Don't think of organ donations as giving up part of yourself to 
keep a total stranger alive.  It's really a total stranger giving 
up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive.
