John,
I have currently been working on a system level recovery procedure. I now
have tested procedures for restoring to the same hardware and changing the
system disk controller. Here is what I am doing:
1. Backup entire system including registry and event logs.
2. Load base NT + IP to any directory other than WINNT.
3. Install the TSM client.
4. Restore the entire C:\ drive
5. Copy the following files to C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\Config:
C:\ADSM.SYS\REGISTRY\%MACHINENAME%\MACHINE\*.*
C:\ADSM.SYS\REGISTRY\%MACHINENAME%\USERS\DEFAULT
C:\ADSM.SYS\EVENTLOG\*.*
6. Reboot server and verify that NT is running properly. Make sure to check
out Disk Administrator. A lot of times NT will switch the letters on the D:
and E: drives.
7. Restore all other applications and data.
8. Reboot again, and server should be running as normal.
9. Clean up temp installation

Subject: Bare Metal Restore for NT
We currently have an open PMR for trying to restore a registry on a
NT system. It appears to me that there is a overall problem restoring NT
registry with TSM. We are about to try out Bare Metal Restore from The
Kernel Group. This product appears to works with TSM on restoring a entire
NT system including the registry. Does anybody else use this product or one
similar or have you been able to restore a registry on a NT system? When we
restored the registry we did the following:
1. Reload NT & TAM
2. Restore the system with TAM
3. Restore the registry
4. Reboot
5. Errors occur on the reboot
