NetBackup BMR functionality not supported for restoring clients with NetBackup 8.1
In this release, NetBackup Bare Metal Restore (BMR) functionality is not supported for restoring the clients with NetBackup version 8.1 installed. However, you can still use Bare Metal Restore for restoring the clients with NetBackup version 8.0 and earlier installed. While restoring 8.0 and earlier clients, Veritas recommends that you use Shared Resource Tree (SRT) having 8.0 and earlier client version.
