Re: [Veritas-bu] Linux

Since BMR is now in the base license, I completely concur.

If we’re talking about a non-NBU client, though, you can always use my free method:

With regard to backup and recovery:

How are you recovering Linux Redhat OS on Wintel server? We test DR at
SunGard and have no experience recovering Linux OS? Is there an equivalent
of a mksysb in Linux?

Want to recover the OS first and separately then recover the data using
Netbackup - currently running 6.0 MP5.

The easiest approach is to upgrade to 6.5.x, configure BMR (the license is included with 6.5), and use that. The Bare Metal Restore functionality is integrated into your normal backups. To recover at your DR site, bring up NetBackup, your BMR server, and then everybody else using the BMR processes.
