I have only dealt with pre-packaged CDs, so I cannot help with
the downloaded version.
We store our disaster recovery images on a USB
drive. V2i Protector will interface directly with the drive, either
through the Windows Server OS, or through V2i's bootable WindowsPE
environment.

I don't have the installation disk because I downloaded the
trial edition from the website which was not a CD image. It came with a
UTILITY folder which has a file called Pqboot32.exe, PartInNT.exe, and a few
others. Am I supposed to make those into boot disks?
Also, does the
drive that contains the backup have to be on an IDE
ribbon?
THANKS!

The installation disk is also the recovery disk -
there is no need to configure a bootable CD. Boot from the
installation CD, and the program loads into WindowsPE. From
there, you can run the recovery console.

Cool I got only a
single drive. Do you know how do I create the boot cd for this
application?

Yes. Hardware RAID (such as a Dell PERC
card) needs to have the array configured, but other that, you're good to
go. A single drive should need no configuration, other than maybe a
format.

On
the site in mentions a complete bare metal server restoration. Does that
mean it can restore your OS (and all the data of course) on to a completely
blank hard drive with no partitions and software installed
yet?

Try PowerQuest's V2i Protector (recently acquired by
Symantec),http://www.powerquest.com/v2i/protector/. This software will
allow you to blast down a real time image of your entire server to
the firewire drive. If the server crashes, replace the defective
hardware, boot via PowerQuest's recovery CD, restore the latest image, and
boot the server.

Backups
First of all, thank you for the information :-)
I
would like to make a complete hard drive backup onto the firewire
drive
(like a complete image) so that if the one on my system crashed
then I
can just get the hard drive on the fire wire cable and put it
into the
IDE ribbons.
I probably should have mentioned that what I am using is
just a fire
wire cable that lets you connect any type of IDE drive to
it.
So with pcinspector, would it be able to make a complete copy of
the
hard drive (with all the partitions, bootup stuff, etc) to another
hard
drive and have that hard drive be exactly the same as the hard drive
in
the system so in the event of a crash I can just swap the hard
drive,
start up the system, and everything is back to normal with all
my
Active Directory users, etc?
Thanks once again in
advanced.
