Bare Metal Restore best practices and recommendation?

Dear All,

We want to take the image of the whole operating system for Windows 2008 & windows 2003, unix & Solaris clients by using the Netbackup 7.0. We have nearly 100 clients having different operating systems and with 32 & 64 bits.
To take the operating system image, We are going to implement the BMR(Bare Metal Restore).
Please guide me the simplest and easy way, how to use the BMR.

Do we have to arrange a dedicated server for the BMR, OR, we can use our netbackup master server to have the BMR? Which one is the  best for us?

Please tell me the best practices and the concerns if any for the implementation of the BMR. 

Bundle of Thanks.
  • I have a question on the client install.  We are looking into setting up the BMR in our NB 6.5.4 environment.  All of our clients already have the client software on them.  When we enable BMR and start to use it, will we have to push out/re-install all of the clients on our servers for them to have the BMR part of the client?  Or is the BMR client peice already part of the client?

    Thanks
