 I saw it posted here a while back.
 
 Does anyone have the procedure for a complete NT restore from Retrospect
 Mac?

It's worked perfectly for me in around 10 cases out of 10 tries

 Here's what you need to do:
 
 1) Format the PC's hard drive
 2) Install a fresh copy of NT to a temporary directory (like C:\WINTEMP)
 3) Install the Retrospect Client software to your temporary directory
 4) Activate the client software from your backup server
 5) Restore the contents of the hard drive back to the PC.  Be sure to
 do a "Restore entire disk", and tell it to overwrite existing files.
 Do NOT reboot when done.
 6) Use the Registry Backup Manager from your TEMPORARY Windows
 install to restore the Registry.  Set the destination to be the
 RESTORED Windows NT folder.
 
 In theory, the backup will restore the computer to the way it was
 before, and upon reboot, the system will boot from the restored
 Windows directory.  In that case, you can delete the temporary
 Windows installation.
 
 I'll also add that I've never been able to get this to work with NT.
 I fault NT for this, not Retrospect.  Seems that if you don't have
 one of those idiotic Windows NT information disks you're supposed to
 make from time to time, the restored NT can't be made to boot.

Re: NT Restore from a Mac

2000-02-02 Thread Nick Scalise 

After RTFM (thanks John), I was successful in getting a complete restore
from my Mac to NT.

The secret is to have RegCopy turned on and copying the registry immediately
before the backup begins. This will give a pristine snapshot of the state of
the computer. 

Then be sure to run RegCopy from the temp NT install to install the Registry
back to it's rightful place after the restore.
