There is a variant of the strategy outlined above that does not require a
backup hard disk. One can install Windows and the ADSM client in directories
not present on the original C drive, use the new Windows and ADSM software to
restore the original contents of the C drive, and then reboot using the
restored Windows system. While this does not require a backup hard disk, it
does require enough free space on the C drive to accomodate the second copy of
Windows and the second copy of the ADSM client. I have used this approach
successfully with both Windows 95 and Windows NT. I have never had the
opportunity to try it with Windows 98.

I don't really recommend this approach, but it offers an alternative to having
no recovery strategy at all in organizations that won't spend any money
preparing to do the job right.
