That could be where the problem is.  Try the same thing only this time
install the OS and TSM (to a different directory) from scratch.  Then do
the TSM recovery procedures and see if that alleviates the problems.

I actually restored from a GHOST image first, that has the OS and TSM
client on it.
I then connect to TSM and attempt the restore of C: and System Objects.

I've had this happen.  Even if I was recovering to like hardware, but my
systems have always seemed fine when I was done.  When you do this, do you
install TSM into an alternate directory?  If you don't install to an
alternate source, then the registry keys for TSM will pound on itself and
you may get unpredictable results.  Although I have gotten errors even when
I think I do everything right.

I have had problems restoring the System Objects for a W2K server.

I restore the boot/system files successfully ( C: Drive).
Then it asks me to reboot and I say NO.
I then attempt to restore the entire System Object.

Sometimes it works...
Other times it begins to restore but then disappears in the middle.  I
don't get a confirmation that it was completed.
Sometimes I can reboot and try the restore of the System Objects again and
it works, other times it doesn't.

Has anyone had similar problems?
