Ops or OS?  By OS you mean Operating System i.e. System Administrator?

Having been a SysAdmin for over 14 years I'm a bit miffed at comparing
that job to "operator".   In the U.S. at least many SysAdmins ARE the
backup admins as well.  Operators on the other hand typically monitor
things and/or kick off specific tasks.

So the answer to your question is yes I believe OS person could do BMR
(as noted by others there were already OS specific tools for OS recovery
on some platforms).   For Operators I'd say if you could document it
well enough to wear it tells them exactly what buttons to push and when
then yes they could do it.   My experience with Operators says that the
bright ones are few and far between so I typically don't expect much of
them.

Can anyone chime in on if an Ops or OS person can handle running a BMR
restore?

I was very interested in these replies and so far, like the answers. I
have
one more question: Are BMR recoveries simple enough for a non-NBU admin
(such as DC or OS Support personnel) to handle, with proper
documentation
of course?



Our team won't want to implement BMR if it means that each time a system
needs to be recovered a call goes out to the on-call backup admin.
