The fix for us was to install a fresh copy of the Os and ap0plications.
We then restored the application data. Never an easy process. We were on
support line for 6 hours doing this with Symantec support and everything
they had us do would never allow the server to be restored in full and
have it boot with all the apps in tack etc. After wasting so much time
we installed a fresh copy of the server build by image and reinstalled
the apps. Took about 2 hours and the server was back up. It was not a
happy experience.

        Good luck. This has never worked for us. Very rarely do we get a
full system restore of windows and have it boot just fine.

        I did the restore as per the DR document. Now the host is
continuously rebooting. I found the following technote, Will give it a
shot.

                It should be covered in the disaster recovery
document....
                 
                But as long as you have a bare OS and the NetBackup
client is installed and the client has been configured as before, you
should be able to perform a FULL RESTORE from a last known backup tape. 
                 
                The Restore can be carried out on the client, or the
MASTER SERVER that usually performs the backup for this client.
                 
                Come back to the list if we can assist

                        One of our Windows system crashed during patch
install. It has been rebuilt now. I need to restore the OS from tape. I
am looking for a procedure. Is there a technote or a procedure I can
follow ?
                         
                        Much appreciated.
