There's at least one knowledge-base article on how to do that, but I don't have its number handy. :-( My too-old NetBackup experience (i.e., I expect there to be better/newer info now), is that if you are restoring to the same hardware ... - install Windows, networking and NetBackup to a sepa

Additionally to this one, I prefer the BMR Option. Imagine the effort to install a new machine (OS, patch level etc) in order to perform a full restore. Using BMR, you need a server to host the boot cds, PXE to be faster and one boot image of every OS and that's it. You do not need full OS, but

If 1) you are at v 7.6.0.1 and 2) you have a vSphere environment you can: Select the new policy type FlashBackup-Windows and then select the Hyper-V server. I've not yet tested this but it is on my radar to test this method of backup and restore. -sj >>> "Chapman, Scott" 3/24/2014 2:22 PM >>>
