Bev,

First up I haven't got a clue as to why restoring from an alternate NT partition
is so dramatically slow, it does warrant further investigation by ?. For the
moment I'd just like to give you some extra insight where it concerns disaster
restore on NT systems (if you search the ADSM archives you'd find more info that
you'd like to read).
You can do a disaster restore from the C: partiton using this partition as the
recovery partition, just do a  NT install on C: to an alternate system
directory, say WINNTDRM, from there on configure TCP/IP, install the TSM client
(install it somewhere under WINNTDRM) and do a full restore of C: (replace=yes)
followed by a restore of the registry hives and a reboot.
After the system has properly booted into the original NT partition you can
remove the recovery partition.
A can't remember how many times I've done this, I've even got customers using
this method to clone NT server systems.

regards Walter Ridderhof.
