Hi Mark,

I make some test with NetBackup Pro in version 3.50.05 and 3.51 but only
on the recovery functionnality and upgrade.

1) The upgrade from version 3.1 to 3.50.05 doesn't work and the solution
was to install directly the version 3.50.05.

2) Disaster recovery with bootable CD for NT 4.0 Workstation works for us
with the french version.

3) Disaster recovery with bootable CD for 2000 Professionnal client doesn't
works for us with the french version.

The solution, i found to recover the 2000 Professionnal client is to start
disaster recovery with a NT CD DR (reinstall minimum OS) and at the reboot
when executing recover.exe put the 2000 Professionnal CD DR. After recovering,
the 2000 Professionnal system seem to be clean and operationnal.


I'm still waiting for clear response from Veritas suppport about point 1
and 3.

Regards.

Richard.
