Hi Dwight,
With reference to redbook "Windows NT Backup and Recovery with ADSM"
SG24-2231-00
I have tested the following successfully on a PC with one hard disk (all
partitions in NTFS) a month ago.
disk0: c: 1028MB d: 502MB f:502MB
1. Install NT on c: partition & TSM 3.1.0.7.06 NT client
2. Install NT on d: partition as "repair partition" & TSM 3.1.0.7.06 NT
client
3. format a 3rd partition f: in NTFS
4. format diskette in NT, copy files boot.ini, ntldr, ntdetect.com
5. edit boot.ini in diskette to add rdisk(0)partition(3) statement as below
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(3)\WINNT="Windows NT 3 Partition v4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT 2 Repair Partition
v4.00 call from diskette"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows NT 2 Repair Partition
v4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT 1 Server Version
4.00"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT 1 Server Version 4.00
[VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos
6. boot from 1st partition, logon administrator, change wallpaper setting &
perform adsm backup on c:
7. Check if there is directory adsm.sys (and files underneath), if there is
none, adsm has not backup the registry; then
you need to perform "dsmc backup registry entire".
8. With the diskette, boot from 2nd partition, logon administrator &
perform adsm restore to 3rd partition f:
copy f:\adsm.sys\registry\ntadsm01\machine\*.* f:\winnt\system32\config\
copy f:\adsm.sys\registry\ntadsm01\users\default f:\winnt\system32\config\
9. To recover profile for <user> logged on during backup (in this case
Administrator),
copy
f:\adsm.sys\registry\<machine>\Users\<user>\S-1-5-21-1044802943-1509306182-911163043-500
f:\winnt\profiles\<user>\
& rename the file to Ntuser.dat then reboot.
10. The above are the steps to restore NT system to f: disk and it is the
same to restore to C: .

Eric Tang
