Well I disagree on your statement "  Networker definitely does *not* back up 
the whole machine " because we have restored machines
from bare metal (1st install a base OS, then Networker client), then did a 
recover all and our servers all run fine..

Subject: Windows 2000 disaster recovery - how to? SOLVED, but where is Wordpad?


Hi all,

I found the solution. If I want to restore a SMP system, I have to install a 
SMP Windows 2000, even if the target machine has only
one CPU. I think Networker missed a few details when it backed up the original 
machine; I have no other explanation.

And Networker definitely does *not* back up the whole machine, I can prove 
that. For whatever reason wordpad.exe is missing after
the succesful restore (I did not install "accessories" on the target machine, I 
thought restoring
C: + SYSTEM things would include everything).

At least my Active Directory is up and running. Next step will be the restore 
of our Exchange server. I am really curious if
Networker forgets some details there...

Olaf
