Re: [Networker] Networker and ASR WIN 2003 recovery

I have opened a ticket with Support on this and just this morning was
informed that it's gone from "RFE status" to "Escalation" status.   It's
also handy to have a support agreement with Legato coming up for renewal at
the end of the quarter.   :-)

In my case, I was able to successfully boot off the win2k3 install CD, have
it read the ASR floppy disk, and initiate a recovery of the C:\ drive from
backup tape (both the initial full and subsequent incrementals.)   The ASR
client, however, failed to continue in recovering the System State, System
DB, System Files, etc.  which prompted me to open the case.

I'm interested in this too.  As Windows Server 2003 is rolled out will we
have to abandon Unix as a backup server platform??    Is there some
registry or Active directory information that goes directly into the
backup server's registry?      First we must switch to Microsoft's DNS,
now this...
