I just got V10 and just started using Veritas Backup Exec. Before I read through the whole manaul, I thought I would just ask the question here first. Please forgive a newbie for asking a stupid question.
I have a very simple network with 3 servers.
SRV1 = Win 2003 running DC/DNS/DHCP
SRV2 = Exchange 2003
SRV3 = Win 2003 as SQL/File server
I use Veritas Exec 10 and I backup everything every night.
If I were to buy 3 additional servers and named it the same and with all the same information as the production server, do you think I can just retore from my backup tapes on these backup servers with no problem? I will litterally call everything the same as the production servers and I'll even use the same set of IPs.
Even crazier scenerio. Would it work if I just got 1 new server and loaded it up with RAM and ran VMware? Storage is not an issue.
Thanks in advance.
Phil
