RE: Recovering NT Server from the Backup

[Ziminski, Rick (Rick)** CTR **]

I just had a veritas restore performed by our hosting site. I had to
re-install Real-server, Jrun server, and several other apps. All of my ODBC
configurations were lost and I had to rebuild the IIS metabase. The hosting
facility "guaranteed" me they had done this hundreds of times before and all
of my apps would work. This is about the 10Th time I had to rebuild a server
in as may years and I have never seen a restore actually restore everything.

Bottom line be careful and good luck.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Veritas Backup Exec has an IDR option. I have been communicating with their
tech support regarding the how to before I embark myself.

Here are the links:

they also sent a PDF with descriptions of all their add-ons. Email direct if
you want a copy.

Subject: Recovering NT Server from the Backup

I am trying to rebuild one of my NT 4.0 SP6a SQL server (along with other
applications) from old machine to new machine. The older machine is running
on dual processor with SCSI hard drive and new machine is dual processor
with IDE hard drive. I am using the ARCserve 2000 to backup this old SQL
server from different server over the network.

What I want to do is install minimal OS on the new machine and recover
everything from the backup, but worry about difference of hard drive. The
question is: 1. Is it possible to recover whole system from the tape backup
including OS? 2. If it is, can I recover whole OS even though different
hardware?

Thanks.
Myung
