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.
