        Hello,
        =20
        I would propose the the following.
        =20
        Reinstall the server with OS (make sure you have the same
service pack level as the "old" server)
        Install the Metaframe software and rename the drives
        Install the Netbackup Client
        use W2kOption.exe on the server
        perform the restore.
        =20
        =20
        I did this in a desaster case and it worked well
        =20
        Best Regards
        =20
        Martin

servers?

        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.
        =20
