Jeff, I think you might be reading too much into it. I certainly wasn't intending to demean anyone's position. My team, backup and storage, is separate from the Sys Admins so I was merely asking if the feature was or could be made easy enough for a non-NBU person to handle. Typically, the Ops team lays down the OS, then Sys Admins finalize it, so I don't know where the responsibility would lie if we implement BMR. As I stated, I don't want it to end up on my team.
>From the couple of responses received so far, it sounds like it should be fairly straightforward, as long as there is some education and documentation.

Ops or OS? By OS you mean Operating System i.e. System Administrator? Having been a SysAdmin for over 14 years I'm a bit miffed at comparing that job to "operator". In the U.S. at least many SysAdmins ARE the backup admins as well. Operators on the other hand typically monitor things and/or kick off specific tasks. So the answer to your question is yes I believe OS person could do BMR (as noted by others there were already OS specific tools for OS recovery on some platforms). For Operators I'd say if you could document it well enough to wear it tells them exactly what buttons to push and when then yes they could do it. My experience with Operators says that the bright ones are few and far between so I typically don't expect much of them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 11:52 AM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Is BMR worth it / How long does it really save you? Can anyone chime in on if an Ops or OS person can handle running a BMR restore? -Rusty ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rusman Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 2:26 PM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Is BMR worth it / How long does it really save you? I was very interested in these replies and so far, like the answers. I have one more question: Are BMR recoveries simple enough for a non-NBU admin (such as DC or OS Support personnel) to handle, with proper documentation of course? Our team won't want to implement BMR if it means that each time a system needs to be recovered a call goes out to the on-call backup admin. -Rusty +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu ---------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
