Pressy is right on the sparc to x86 explanation.
To use NBU to restore OS without the BareMetal, you can restore the data to another HDD on another host. (alternate host restoration)
One thing to note is the rename hardlink and softlink checkbox in NBU GUI when you restore. I can't remember which one to tick and untick. I do know One of them is ticked, the other is unticked. Search VERITAS Technotes for the correct info.
After restoring, install bootblk on the HDD.
Remove and insert the disk into another host and your server will revive (Provided the new server has the same OS architecture as the backup server).
