I have had to do this a couple of times (with WinNT Workstation not Server)
and all I did was backup the Dantz directory and catalog directory before
reaching for the OS Restore CD and rebuilding the machine.
After reinstalling Retrospect I just replaced the Dantz directory and
catalog directory with the copies I saved.
It worked for me.
Play it safe ... do a full backup of the backup machine (and a safety)
before embarking on this exercise. If you have a full backup all will go
well ... bad things usually happen when you don't have a backup.
Cheers, Malcolm
