What is the best or fastest way to bring the server back up from scratch

Luc,

We will need a little more info.  The disk you are going to "crash", is
it the OS drive, non-OS but has installed applications or a data only
drive.  This will make a great deal of difference as to how you attack
this problem.  Also, when you say bring it up from scratch do you mean
from no OS at all.  We generally cal the a BMR (bare metal/machine
recovery).  Please let us know and we will try to help you out.
