Hi Dennis!
I did the NT server recovery. Same result: no problems at all!
I backed up the C: drive (NTFS formatted). I then deleted the C: partition,
created a primary DOS partition on the drive and started a restore dump for the
same drive.
The result was as expected: the c: drive contained a NTFS formatted partition
afterwards and NT came up fine!
The process doesn't differ from the OS/2 recovery at all. The DRM interface
doesn't look at the disk format. It just treats the disk a one object to be
backed up.
There is only one downside: The DRM can only backup complete disks, not single
partitions. So if your disk 1 contains a C: and a D: partition, you cannot dump
the C: partition only. Since the servers I manage have a single harddisk with
two partitions disaster recovery would mean a full disk dump of 2 Gb. which can
be quit lengthy. After the dump restore one has to restore the D: again from
the last incremental backup to bring everything back up-to-date again.
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
