Is there a working procedure that explain how to restore a IMAGE on a win2k server that have only 1 partition.
I read that my TSM backup/restore client should not be installed on the partition that I want to restore .... How can I do that if my server have only 1 partition ???
It's the basic principle that you can't change the bedsheets while you're sitting on them. You somehow need an extra drive (temporary internal; external Firewire, USB2, SCSI, whatever), which serves as the recovery execution area. The List archives have numerous discussions of this. This all gets into DR planning and preparing for recoveries such as this one, before they happen.
