I would tend to agree, although if Ed sees this as a feature in NBU6 they I
guess it would be ok!

Likewise, doing an "Offline" backup of the DB is not supported, however I
have my own routine for restoring my Server in any scenario

Rather have multiple methods of being able to restore the cat, rather than
just the "one" BPRecover method :-)

I have seen it work, but it is DEFINITELY not supported by Symantec.  If you
have any issues restoring data, you will be on your own.  I don't think it's
worth the risk.
