Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore by Symantec: Best-of-Breed Server Recovery Using Veritas NetBackup Version 6.0

Overview

This paper describes Veritas NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR), an option to NetBackup 6.0 that eliminates the need for disparate bare metal recovery methodologies and greatly improves the speed and simplicity of system recovery by providing a common methodology utilizing the normal backup data within NetBackup. When a solution is capable of bare metal recovery, it means that the hardware onto which the system is being recovered can be devoid of an operating system or initialized disks. The standard features of Bare Metal Restore such as the configuration editor, point-in-time recovery, and External Procedures are unequaled in the market today, and demonstrate the leadership of NetBackup in executing the most important part of backup - the restore.
