	Topic:  Bare Metal Restore
	Speaker: Gray Clark, Senior Sales Engineer, VERITAS Software

==============================

Abstract:  

Bare Metal Restore simplifies and streamlines the server recovery 
process for VERITAS NetBackup, making it unnecessary to manually 
reinstall operating systems or configure hardware. With a single 
command, complete server restores can be accomplished in a 
fraction of the time without extensive training or tedious 
administration. One solution addresses the demands of a variety
of platforms, eliminating the need for customized restore 
procedures on each platform. Server restores will be faster, 
easier, and more successful, getting your business back online 
as soon as possible. In this session - we will provide a high 
level overview of how VERITAS Bare Metal Restore works - and 
give you a live demonstration of the product.
