I believe that working against different architectures is marketed as
"Intelligent Disaster Recovery". Unfortunately I have learned that
companies like Veritas mis-market that also. We have a Intelligent Disaster
Recovery agent or Netbackup MS-Windows and we found out afterwards that it
only works if the same server configuration is replaced. Changing NIC cards
or Video cards will cause the recovery to fail. Atleast that was what I was
told 1 year ago. It was a cheap option for Windows clients unlike the UNIX
bare metal restore for Netbackup. I am little puzzled why a AIX site would
not just use something like Sysback for AIX. Then again, I did not know
that the repackaged UNIX bare metal restore for Netbackup supports AIX. The
last time I looked at the product in only supported Solaris and one more
UNIX (before the Kernel Group became a company within Veritas)

What's the point of a Bare metal restore product that doesn't work across
different platforms?

Bill,
We were going to use BMR but found that it will not function
on dissimilar architectures.
(According to BMR(Veritas) sales)
This basically stopped us since our DRs are done on different systems.

Anyone out there using Bare Metal Restore (Veritas) ?
We are looking at it (actually, it is probably a bit farther along than
"looking at it"), and I had a question on how it handles restoring from a
physically different system then the original backup. For example - in a
disaster recovery or test.
I'm concerned about ODM issues and other stuff like that.
Anyone crossed this bridge before ?
Thanks, Bill.
