Hi there,

Would anyone be willing to confirm the following recovery scheme for me please?

Let's say server A's main disk crashes taking the OS and everything with it.
 Server A has been backed up regularly with Networker.  An identical
replacement disk is available and installed into a spare drive slot in a
comparable server (same OS) which is also a Networker client.  Can't I
simply partition this disk identical to that which crashed and perform a
directed recover of Server A's OS and data to this disk?  (After mouting the
partitions onto the host machine.)  Once the new disk has all of Server A's
info, shouldn't I just be able to plug it into Server A and go?

Many thanks,
Kris
