Re: [Veritas-bu] Is BMR worth it / How long does it really save you?

With proper documentation, and a demonstration of the process, I would
say yes. The steps to create or prepare the BMR might be a little bit
of a mystery for a non-netbackup person, but the process to boot the cd
and answer the questions is a lot easier than installing the OS from
media. It would be an easy task to educate Ops or OS on what is
happening in the background. I would entrust this role to someone who
can navigate through the NBU console with some degree of skill, so you
can ask general questions at 3:00 a.m. and get informative answers.
You'll probably be getting out of bed and driving in anyway, but having
someone do prep work before you arrive would be handy.
Maybe this would be a tier2 operation. You'll need someone you can
trust inside the NB admin, who knows what to select when preparing BMR,
how to make a CD or verify PXE booting, and this person better know for
darn sure that the system they are about to BMR restore is indeed the
one that is crashed. Formatting the wrong system for a reload creates
extra problems you don't need. I saw it happen once, and heard it from
others over the years.
