Now that I know that, I will probably ditch the idea of getting a BE
server at my new collocated rack, and just Ntbackup to a external drive.
In a DR scenario, I can utilize the backup media with my Backup Exec
license if needed.

I do like my using my BE console/server for pushing system restores...

There's a reason for that.

In a lot of ways NTbackup is - truly and honestly - "BE Lite."

On any 2000 or 2003 or XP (it's not installed by default but is on the
CD) machine if I start NTbackup and go into Help -> About Backup Utility
it even says VERITAS software in the copyrights.

I think you can read NTbackup .bkf files with some versions of BE and
vice versa...
