ClearCase VOB and Reg. srvr works without the release area once it is installed on a specific machine. Given that, restoring the ClearCase itself without the release area will free the dependency on: 1) network access between the VOB srvr and release area, 2) registry information between the newly created and the existing VOB data. (That is, restoring registry data from backup will give the quickest way to restore than rebuilding a list of VOB's registry and possible lost of private items.

Can't one just backup ClearCase restore it faithfully? If so, how are you doing it with tape backup?
