I've tested IDR with mixed results.

Environment:
NW 5.0 SP4
Multi server tree
Backup Exec Enterprise (Multi server editon)

Successes:
I successfully recovered a single server with different disks and SCSI card.

Pitfalls:
If we have a catastrophic disaster that destroys all our servers IDR will
not restore NDS for a server within a multi-server tree. It must be able
to see another NDS replica server to copy NDS across the wire.

Solution: The IDR program needs to make copy of the multi server NDS to the
IDR disk(s) and provide an option to restore that copy of NDS from disk.

I have successfully tested BE 8.0 with IDR on a Windows 2000 server machine.
The only pitfall is that I had to make the server part of the domain before
IDR would work. Otherwise seemed very successfull. Still going through
testing though. Next big hurdle with be restoring exchange.
