Orin,

Just a word of warning, the redbook on client DR is still in the comments
stage,  I was responsible for the win95 section and despite the fact that
I had no problems when I tested the procedure, since then a number of
people have reported difficulties with the LFNBK utility.

We are in the process of ammending the chapter to be a standard re-install
followed by a restore.  This is being done due to the fact that we want a
stable method first and then will seek to refine it later.>

Hope this helps, if you have any comments on the book and improving it, then
contact Pat Randall, the email address is with the book.  We want to make this
the best :)

Thanks

Dave
