Thanks Andrew

I did exactly that procedure ... but it didn't work ... I will try it
again just to make sure I didn't forget a step ... but this is what I did

- Full incremental of my C: and D: drive , and system object
- IMAGE backup using Windows PE procedure
- ADD and DELETE files and folders my C: and D;  drive
- Full incremental of my C: and D: drive , and system object
- Crash my server
- Use Windows PE and DISKPART.EXE to rebuil my partitions
- Restore image of my C: drive with the -deletefiles option
- Reboot
- Restore incremental backup of my C: and D: drive
- Restore System object
- Reboot
- On C: drive :  all new files are there .. even the one that was deleted
- On D: drive :  everything is perfect (because it was not an image
restore of D:)

I will try again

Thanks again

Luc

I sent this too soon: did you run a full incremental backup *before* the
image, then run incremental after the image?

You need to start from a full incremental backup, then run image, then
subsequent incrementals, in order for the TSM server to keep track of
additions to and deletions from the file system.
