Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring entire servers (Windows)


I'm just reviewing disaster recovery at the moment and have found a
paragraph or 2 recommending that all system files and application files are
backed up. We generally run A_L_D in our policies 'just in case' but I've
been thinking about restoring system and application files and wonder how
most people approach this sort of thing.
We don't use BMR so I figure the best way to restore an entire server is to
rebuild the OS, install any applications then restore actual 'data'; I've
always considered if you try to restore 'everything' it could get a bit
messy and confused if some of it doesn't get restored exactly as it was
before. 
Without using BMR, can you restore the contents of an entire server in
Windows (I'm talking the whole show including system files, system_state
data, applications and everything)?
 
Cheers,
