Zosimo, In the situation where you are restoring from a "disaster", you will need to do a "bare metal restore" to restore the machine, system state (like the registry), and its application files to a good state. Then, you would use TDP for SQL to restore the databases to a good state. The most important restore there is the "master" database. (See the User's Guide for information on restoring the "master" database.) Much of the SQL Server configuration is kept in the master database and the Windows registry so you should make sure that TDP for SQL is backing up the master database and that your backup/archive client is backing up the registry. I hope this helps. Thanks, Del ---------------------------------------------------- Del Hoobler IBM Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Celebrate we will. Life is short but sweet for certain..." -- Dave
