I believe that the backup is a standard with some directories going to tape and now I hear that some will be put to NAS. I'll be restoring just the needed directories for the SAP environment. The tape restore should be no problem, but Im thinking that the NAS might be a problem if the VM is built without an HBA. Might need to attach it to the master/media and see if it can be restored.

As far as being a POC, I agree......let me put it on a VM in the lab and let me try different scenarios before spending money on a full test. But, not my call.
