Really? I got this info directly off of the Palindrome Web Site...

Simple Server Recovery 
Backup Director reduces the effort in restoring a full server. You can
easily create a recovery diskette to manage the entire
process for you no need to completely reinstall NetWare or Backup
Director to recover your server. Backup Director's
built-in intelligence and automated procedures step you through the
recovery quickly and easily to ensure your business is
back up and running.

I have to go back through my documentation, but I believe that PBD
creates a set of recovery diskettes so you don't have to touch the
original Netware diskettes. I'm currently running on a RAID system so
automating a full server restore has not been on my priority list. One
of the reasons that I purchased PBD was because of this "feature"
which I am planning to implement in the future. Now you are saying
that this is not true?
