Networker 7.6.2 Bare Metal Recovery

I am curious to try a bare metal recovery on a test machine. The main thing I am curious about is if a Microsoft WDS server is required. I have done a bare metal save and recovery once before by saving windows backup (wbadmin command) data to a location and then restoring that to a network location, running the Server 2008 cd and doing a recovery from there. Is this possible with the new "DISASTER_RECOVERY:\" option? Or is a WDS server a requirement? Thanks.

    Hi Zachschi - The quick answer is that Microsoft WDS Server is not required for use with the new NetWorker 7.6 SP2 Windows DR capability.

    If you haven't done so already, check out the chapter on the topic in the 7.6 SP2 Admin Guide.
