Haven't done this myself. Your email did not mention what OS but have you
taken a look at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q287061 or more
specifically "How to Restore a Backup to Computer with Different Hardware
(Q139822)" at

I'm guessing this is NT or 2000, and in that case you may not have much luck
at all. With NT at least, I know it is very sensitive to changes in
hardware. A different machine entirely with different SCSI/RAID/etc... was
always more than a little catastrophic for it. I'm not sure about 2000 and
how it reacts when the world changes.
