Backup Exec 15 SDR Backups on Media Server

I can't seem to get SDR to turn on with our BE15 media server jobs. This means I can't to a bare metal restore or conversion from point in time to VM. This basically means you can’t restore your back...

    I'm thinking the best thing to do would be to create a VM as a central admin server, or another media server to have all catalogs, job settings and history ready to go for DR purposes. I would then have a VM backup of that.

Pkh,

The whole issue was discovered after trying VM convertions, yes it works just fine in other jobs. I just heard back from veritas today, it seems they have an unofficial release 2 for BE15 which will fix SDR. I am curious as to what setup you have, and to see if you can do SDR restores or convertsion to vm point in time. Any way I belive I'm going to resolve this my self (as I always do) My solution is to create a VM for CASO, then not worry about the media server so much as I will have a full VM I can restore.
