Hello, I used to do one of the following depending on whether is Windows 2003 or 2008+ to have some additional protection:
ClientRunBeforeJob = "start /w ntbackup backup systemstate /F C:\\SystemState.bkf" ClientRunAfterJob = "del C:\\SystemState.bkf" ClientRunBeforeJob = "start /w wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:D: -quiet" ClientRunAfterJob = "rmdir /s /q D:\\WindowsImageBackup" But if you run with VSS enabled you're able to back up also registry and open files, so unless you have a strict requirement to restore only a part of the "System State" I suggest you to use only VSS. I made many restore of complete Windows systems with BartPE and the bacula plugin. The only thing you will see is "shutdown unexpected" when you reboot the restored system. >From my experiences, Active Directory domain controllers are a LOT easier and faster to be replicated from another instance than to be restored from scratch.
