Intelligent Disaster Recovery is a joke. Don't buy it.
I spent $500, and countless hours preparing to use IRD to do a complete recovery of a production Windows 2003 domain controller running Exchange 2003.
In the middle of the recovery, the IRD software could not connect to the media server. I got the error "Could not add service account to the local administrator group". After 3 hours on the phone with Veritas support, they said I should give up on IRD and just do a manual restore.
SO why did I spend all this money and time on something that didn't work??
I have requested a full refund for this product and don't recommend that anyone buy it. I am using Veritas Backup Exec for Windows Servers 10d.
P.S. the manual recovery worked like a champ. BackupExec works, IRD does not.
