The way to use sbs backup is reinstalling from media(same SP level) the first part to the new machine and restoring the remaining from the backup
GuidoElia HELPPC -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Miguel Gonzalez Castaños [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: mercoledì 23 aprile 2008 4.15 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: Re: restore of SBS 2003 The machines are the same model, only differ in two things: It is a single proc (instead of the double proc of the original) and the aforementioned difference in the array. Yes, but the ASR only backed up part of the system, not the whole system. How did you skip the ASR backup? I tried to use the full backup in the ASR process but there is no way... Why do I need to reinstall the array drivers? The array was already seen after the ASR restore Tonight I'm trying SBSbackup instead, what can I do with it? Try to make a full restore after performing the ASR restore?
