Do you use scripts to set up your accounts?  Saves us a ton of time when restoring or migrating accounts.
 
When we had a similar problem mid-April that also required a server rebuild, running the scripts allowed us to recreate all of the websites on that server in a few minutes.  There were a few tweaks needed from permissions that had been changed but not documented, and Frontpage Server Extensions never seems to work right without installing first 2000, then upgrading to 2002 and restarting IIS, but otherwise it went smooth.
 
Most of our recovery time was spent on a couple of websites that have a lot of custom services.  Other than that it was just the base server rebuild and some drive shuffling to get backed up data local to the server.

Putting in 2 new drives was the easy part.

 

Recreating 43 websites in IIS because the backup drive on the backup server departed for parts unknown the week before and proceeded with the tape drive (Onstream) finally giving out a month ago leaving my backup solution in shambles is what has been fun. Fortunately, both the actual website data drives and their separate backups on zip disks are fine.

 

When it rains it pours. I must be in Southern California.

 

Needless to say, I am revamping my backup and disaster recovery solutions.

Ok, John, get back to fixing that mirrored drive set.
