I'd be interested in knowing what techniques others have used with ADSM =
to
completely restore an NT server to operational status starting from a =
new
hard drive.  Once the operating system and ADSM client are installed, =
the
rest is easy, but from what I know of ADSM, you are on your own until =
the
operating system is in place.

What techniques are others using?

A 'hot spare' server that is standing by with the ADSM client already
installed?

There is a product called GHOST that can be used to boot from a floppy =
and
then copy a drive image to the hard drive.  One technique would be to =
use
GHOST to copy the NT operating system and ADSM client in a single =
operation
and then invoke the ADSM client to restore the latest version registry =
and
any other software that was not included in the GHOST copy?

Other backup products such as Arcserve have a feature that allows one =
boot
from a floppy and immediately begin the backup process.

Is anyone familiar with annoucement dates for a similar 'disk image'
restore for the NT ADSM client?

Thanks in advance for anyone who has experience to share.
