Distributed domain controllers for NT.  Restoring the installed NT
partition is only necessary in the case where nuclear war wipes out
all of Canada.  Otherwise, a replicatant (backup) domain controller
contains all the "necessary" security information.

Although I haven't looked at SAP, I cannot fathom a software package
taking more than a few minutes to copy to disk, even if it is several
hundred megabytes in size ... unless of course it is *really* badly
designed (which is entirely possible, I suppose).
