Intelligent Disaster recovery

[John_McCulloch]

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my backup solution. I am running SBS 2000 and using Exchange and SQL Server components of SBS 2000. Once my upgrade is complete I am going to do a full backup to tape and disk every night. If/when disaster happens is it possible to restore my server from the disk based backup using the Intelligent Disaster recovery option?? The disk based backups will be stored on a SAN connected to the network by the LAN.

Thanks for your comments/suggestions

hi,

disk-based IDR restore is not supported in Backup Exec 10. if you are looking for a solution for bare metal server restore, u can try symantec livestate recovery, which support BMR from disk or network.

symantec and veritas recently merged, so i guess it is ok to mention symantec products here.
