By saying  Image backup,  is this  ARCHIVE command,   and  you mentioned
image agent for win2k, does this code comes with the package or it is extra
piece, and does this by default to install or it is optional,  can you talk
a little bit more,  and which version includes this feature?   Thanks.

Image backup cannot be perform on system volume, like c:
to use image backup, you must install the image agent for win2k
(included in client program)
then start its service up, reboot, then you can perform image backup
manual or in schedule.
To rebuild your crash win2k, you have to build a new OS with tsm client,
then restore image (just like d:),
files of system volume, and system object.

Subject: Image backup of a W2K machine


Just another quickie - does anyone have any experience of image backup
of a Windows 2000 machine?  If so, how does it work when doing a
restore?  How can you do a restore if your W2K machine crashes
completely?  I have instructions for creating an image backup but
haven't seen any useful info on the restore bit.  Just say "RTFM" if
that's what I should do!
