The  following  results  were  encountered  while  performing ADSM  $B!> (B 
Windows NT
Server restores. Version 3.1.2.50 AIX server w/ version 3.1.40 NT client


Backup


Built  complete  NT 4 server with compaq monitoring utilities, Macafee Netshield
and  IIS.   Created 3 primary partiitions.  (C: and D: on disk 1) (E: on disk 2)
Formatted as NTFS.


Loaded all system files/utilities on c: drive.  Created one sub-dir with data on
d:, as well as one sub-dir with data on e:.


Loaded  and  configured  adsm  client.   Performed  initial full backup and then
several incrementals.  No problems found.





Restore


Reinstalled  base  NT on c: without any extra utilities or service pack updates.
Redefined d: and e: partitions and formated eactly as built on original machine.


Performed full restore (checked off entire unit).


Restore  completed  but  restored all data to c:.  Did not restore the registry.
Did not restore sub-dir $B!G (Bs to d: and e:, instead restored them to the c: 
drive.


Initiated another restore selecting only the d:\ and e:\.  This time the sub-dir
on d: and e: restored successfully.


Rebooted machine to attempt to restore registry, machine hangs.


Next  step,  rebuild  machine  with  base  NT  as in step 1.  Will first restore
registry,  then  initiate  full system restore to see if this puts data in right
partitions.


Question:    Is  it  necessary  to restore registry first before performing full
system restore in order to get data into correct drive locations/partions?


Additional  Issue:   During the restore many  $B!H (Bread only $B!I (B files 
are encountered
mostly  for   $B!H (BWinnt\system32\ $B!I (B  directory which must be skipped.  
Last restore
encountered approx. 230 of these files.  Is this normal/correct?





Thank you.
