you can take a phicial drive on annother machine an plug it in with a
running system, you do not need to format it. just plug it in and make the
OS see the logical device. then you can restore the image on that device,
then you need to put that drive phisically on the failed machine, and make
the machine boot on that device.
Or you can just have 2 logical partitions on your machine one that you
boot up and then you restore the image on the logical partition that is
not in use by the OS. after that you need to modify the startup sequence
to boot from the restored partition.
Be Warned! the system image may not be consistent across components (such
as Active Directory). Some of these components can be configured to use
different volumes where parts are installed on the system drive and others
to non-system volumes.
but basicly there is NO simple BMR on Win2k or Win2003 for that matter,
if you plan on using this i do not recomend useing it on mission critical
machines, this is good for low profile machines, desktop machines and
static servers. but then again sysprep is better in solving that.
hope this helps.

[ADSM-L] Image backup
Hi all,
I want to implement BMR for Win2K. I backup C:\ drive ( system dirve) with
image type.
Howerver, TSM help wrote : "If you created an image of the system drive,
you cannot restore the image to the same location because the client
cannot have an exclusive lock of the system drive."
Therefore, If I want restore system drive with image backup, I have to
restore image backup system to other location and copy them to the
original location. Can I do that ?
Thank a lot,
Nghiatd
