        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.
