Thanks for the reply. Sorry I did not respond earlier but i have been very
busy. The issue is not the network driver as it fairly new (august 2008)
and ther are no other network issues on the server really.
The way I got the bare metal restores to work is by doing a repair install
after completing the bacula restore. For NT boxes, I had to use NTbackup to
restore the entire C: drive in order to get it to work.
Does anyone else have any other ideas of how to speed up restores? Any
settings I can change, tweaks, etc?
Thanks
