I don't believe you can do a directed recover of the system savesets...
You will find if you dig down into the C: saveset that the registry is not
in a usable state.  The files will be something like *_nsr.

So I don't think what you want to do is possible.

What OS is it by the way?  If it's 2K3 you may be able to use your ASR to
perform the recovery though.

Have you read through the DR guide?

Subject: [Networker] Directed recover to new disk

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
