That's what I would do also, with one modification: not starting at step
1 but on step 3. Because I have full images (ntfsclone or dd) of the
client I just write back the image, so that I don't have to configure
everything for backuppc-restore on the client-pc (cygwin/rsyncd/exchange
ssh-keys...)
A bare metal recovery of a windows client for testing is on my todo-list.
Question:
have you done a bare metal recovery of a windows client?
Without any background I would think that restoring a linux-based
machine might work better but unfortunately I'm working in a
windows-only-environment (except my file & backup-server :-)
