I was told that the system to be restored had to be the exact same
configuration
as the system that was "backed up".

But I believe that Veritas said they may be working on a solution.

You could contact Robert Tavares (VP of Sales)

He was very helpful.

Can you clarify what you mean by "dissimiliar architectures" ?

For example H50 to 6H1 ?

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.
