At my company, we backup system objects a little differently. Instead of letting TSM handle it, we have a precommand that backups the system state to a flat file using NT Backup. Thus when doing a restore, I just reinstall the OS, tell it to replace files on boot that it can't do during normal restore, and lastely run the NT Backup and restore the system state from the flat file. We don't reinstall the service pack nor the hot fixes. When I run "winver" after reboot, it shows the correct service pack level and all of the hot fixes appear in the "Add/Remove Programs" again. Also, checking system files, they appear to be the correct version level. Seems a lot easier doing it this way then having to restore all of that stuff by hand, just my $00.02...

Eric, With Win2K, TSM supports "replace on boot" files. So if you check the "replace even if readonly" in the client options, TSM will restore those locked files. WinNT will not do this. That's why when you are restoring WinNT you put Windows in a different directory, but with Win2K you don't. -----Original Message----- From: Loon, E.J. van - SPLXM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 4:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Why do I need to... Hi Christian! I doubt whether your procedure will work. TSM will not allow you to replace files which are locked by the OS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you will have to install Win2k initially in a different directory. This way you can restore the complete original windows folder afterwards. I don't really know why you should apply the service pack, but my guess is that it has to do with the kernel file which resides in the root. If it's version differs from the other OS files in the windows directory, you will probably see strange behavior.

Hi Everyone! If I want to do a manual recovery of my Windows 2000 server do I need to do this steps. * Install Windows 2000 * Join the domain * Install the same Serivce Pack as before. * Install the same TSM version or later. * Restore the System State * Restore all files So my question is. Why do I need to install the same Service Pack. Can�t TSM write over all files and replece the files when the system is reboot?
