We have BE 8.6 on one NT 4.0 Server and it backs up that one and 2 other NT 4.0 Servers on the domain.
Now the Disaster Recovery Diskettes have "hardware-specific" machine info on them -- so using them for that kind of Restore would mean you "had the same boxes; just corrupt files/registry/operating system or something.
But a true "disaster" recovery
in the sense of
"the building burned and you don't have those boxes anymore and will never see them again" --
this is a scenario
wherein you would need to "re-build servers of the same name, etc, re-install Veritas, get a new autoloader and then "manually restore" from the same tapes that you would use in Intelligent Disaster Recovery...
Oh well, it's hitting me that a good "Disaster Recovery Paln" has to account for both instances (original machines present and/or absent; restores done manually or through IDR)
