One thing that I have found is there are patches that are available for
VSS from support.M$.com, now I am unsure if this will help your situation,
because I believe the patches need to be applied to the affected server,
not to the one you are restoring to. Maybe you could patch a test box,
back it up, the try the restore and see if this fixes the issue.

STeve

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Upgraded to 5.1 and full windows 2003 restores do
not work right?
We just upgraded from 4.5 to 5.1 and we tried to do some restores of 2003
servers like we did with 4.5 and are not having any luck. The current 5.1
client uses the volume shadow copy services (VSS) to do backups on Windows
2003 machines. We found that this makes things difficult when restoring a
server - especially when restoring to different hardware because certain
protected files can no longer be selected/deselected as needed.
We just tested a restore of an entire system to the same hardware (we
backed the fully loaded system up, we wip! ed the system clean, we then
installed the base OS along with the backup client, and we finally ran the
restore). The result was a system that will not even get to the windows
GINA before bluescreening/rebooting continually.
Is there any documentation on best practices for restoring an entire
windows OS from scratch using NetBackup (as in a disaster recovery
situation)? Likewise, is there any documentation and/or recommendation on
restoring an entire system to different hardware? We have successfully
done restores of full systems from backups that still use the "System
State" method of addressing protected files (instead of VSS). With that
in mind, we would prefer a solution using what we have without! having to
investigate something new like bare metal restores. Any direction you can
offer would be most appreciated.
