What about the server won't boot? NB won't start, windows won't start or 
what? Is the Master server running as a media server as well?

NB tends to ship it's own everything, including Java within the 
Netbackup directory tree. You _should_ be able to get the server rebuilt 
-- in the Windows sense -- then bring the Netbackup stuff back 
(catalog/LUN) and execute.

However, you should have used mirrored hard drives and brought the 
machine down clean before attempting any sort of clone/image. 

I'm not up on Windows 2008R2, but I've spent a lot of time in UN*X land.
