I'm backing up a Citrix server, configured with M and N drives.
=20
M is the system drive (Normally C:) and N is data.
=20
I'm having great difficulty doing a restore of the full system (M, N,
and System state.)
=20
What we've been doing, is building a barebones system as if we were
building a new metaframe server.
Installing OS, renaming the drives to M and N from C and D.
Installing the netbackup client.
=20
performing restore of M, N and System state, overwriting existing files.
=20
In some cases, it has failed with status 5.....the machine loses network
connectivity during the restore......everything looks fine, but part way
through restoring, it dissappears of the network...go to the console and
can't ping anything but itself.....attempt to reboot, and it hangs at
the "starting windows" screen.
=20
Sometimes it appears to complete the restore successfully, but then when
you try to reboot, it gets stuck in a boot loop.
=20
Running out of ideas.
