Zosimo,

In the situation where you are restoring from a "disaster",
you will need to do a "bare metal restore" to restore the machine,
system state (like the registry), and its application files to a
good state. Then, you would use TDP for SQL to restore the databases
to a good state. The most important restore there is the "master" database.
(See the User's Guide for information on restoring the "master" database.)
Much of the SQL Server configuration is kept in the master database and
the Windows registry so you should make sure that TDP for SQL is
backing up the master database and that your backup/archive client
is backing up the registry.  I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Del
