I need to recover a Win2008 (not R2) client completely (i.e., a disaster 
recovery sort of recovery). The backup of this client specifies a saveset 
of ALL. Yet when I go to do the recover, I only see

VSS SYSTEM BOOT:
VSS SYSTEM SERVICES:

Of the VSS entries (I do see the drives, C: and D:) as choices to click 
on. Where are the other system components - VSS BOOT:, VSS FILESET:, VSS 
USER DATA:? I didn't see any errors on the backup job.

* admnsam004:ALL savefs admnsam004: succeeded.
  admnsam004: VSS SYSTEM FILESET:\  level=full,      1 KB 00:00:05      1 
file
  admnsam004: VSS OTHER:\           level=full,      1 KB 00:00:03      1 
file
  admnsam004: VSS USER DATA:\       level=full,      1 KB 00:00:03      1 
file
  admnsam004: VSS SYSTEM SERVICES:\ level=full,     26 MB 00:00:27     11 
files
* admnsam004:VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\ VSS SYSTEM BOOT: VSS Writer: ASR Writer is 
not supported, ignoring it.
  admnsam004: VSS SYSTEM BOOT:\     level=full,     58 MB 00:00:27     16 
files
  admnsam004: D:\                   level=full,     10 GB 00:22:03  52595 
files
  admnsam004: C:\                   level=full,     10 GB 00:20:58  66342 
files

I can see that they are (probably) empty, being only 1 K in size, but 
shouldn't there be entry for it, regardless?

This client is a VM. I made a new VM, same name and IP address; installed 
Win2008 (but didn't run any updates); installed Networker; and went to do 
a restore, clicking on the client name, so I would get everything, I 
sincerely hope this works right, with Win2008 and NW 7.5.2 ... otherwise 
my dept mate is going to be really upset with me, if he has to rebuild 
this Sametime server from scratch ....
