I wasn't that lucky... I lost a win2008 server on August 31.... but this esg was for someone that had a failure even before I lost my system. I'm glad that EMC has finally released the document.

As we are an educational institution and participate in the Microsoft Campus Agreement, we may have another option that will allow us to have an incremental -- but really, this is a BMR (true disaster) recovery situation that is being addressed.

Of bigger interest to me is that you got an alert -- what signup have I missed that I'm not getting these alerts?

out now, not when I was trying to do the restore.

disaster recovery

David,

Thanks for this posting, and sorry you had to be a guinea pig as they
figured out the process!

I had one question that I'm hoping you might answer: After the
restoration
of the WSB backup, have you arrived back at a fully functioning system
drive
as it was at the time of the backup? Because it appears to me that
wbadmin
takes a backup of the entire C: drive...so in essence you are backing up
all
those files twice: once for file-level restores and once for disaster
recovery.

Thanks again,
Greg
