Sorry one and All, made a mistake, it was 5.1mp3 that had the
problem. My support call is below
I tried restoring a w2k3 server as a test and got an lssas error
on
reboot, with the machine constantly rebooting. After going to
your support
page I ran in to the following document
Document ID: 274353
http://support.veritas.com/docs/274353
<http://support.veritas.com/docs/274353>
It essentially says contact veritas. So what now?
RESPONSE
David,
As we had discussed, this is a known issue, so there wasn't any
configuration mistakes on your end. There is a technote with
troubleshooting steps to try and remedy the issue. This isn't a 100%
guaranteed fix, as we had discussed regarding the use of the
Win2Koption.
http://support.veritas.com/docs/262411
<http://support.veritas.com/docs/262411>
To reiterate what's occurring:
What is happening is that Windows 2003 Shadow Copy Components
have changed so that there is a slip in recovering some registry hives.
(see the Microsoft link at the bottom of the technote) For us to keep
up with these changes, we need to modify our software with new patch
releases. The new release for this issue is due out soon, but no
concrete date that I can release. In the meantime, I will create an
escalations task and will inform you on what I can get from backline,
and what they may request from you for additional information.
At any rate it was definately fixed with mp4, for your sake
Simon I would test your MP2 or upgrade your master/media servers to mp4.

Tim,
Windows is the easiest restore in the entire venue. From
scratch, load the OS (patched to whatever level your version of NBU
requires) and leave it in the workgroup mode with a workgroup having the
same name as the domain it was in. Load the nbu agent, partition the
drive, then do a FULL resore, reboot, done. I have actually done this
across disimiliar platforms, albeit you have to be a bit tricky. In
short we will never waste money on windows bmr, it's just to easy to do
it the old fashioned way. The only caveats are
1. Domain Comtrollers require a reboot into domain
controller restore mode
2. NB5.1 mp2 had a major bug with w2k3. Just make sure
you are higher (or lower) than that.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restoring entire servers
(Windows)
I'm just reviewing disaster recovery at the
moment and have found a paragraph or 2 recommending that all system
files and application files are backed up. We generally run A_L_D in our
policies 'just in case' but I've been thinking about restoring system
and application files and wonder how most people approach this sort of
thing.
We don't use BMR so I figure the best way to
restore an entire server is to rebuild the OS, install any applications
then restore actual 'data'; I've always considered if you try to restore
'everything' it could get a bit messy and confused if some of it doesn't
get restored exactly as it was before.
Without using BMR, can you restore the contents
of an entire server in Windows (I'm talking the whole show including
system files, system_state data, applications and everything)?
Cheers,
