Hello all
I'm trying to find a procedure for restoring a PDC as part of putting
together some documentation for disaster recovery. I'm trying to do the
restore to a new Compaq/HP server. NT4 runs fine on it as I've done a full
install using their SmartStart utilities, so there's no hardware
compatibility issues.
The backup solution that is in place at the moment is an older version of
Arcserve.
So far, I haven't found anything that's been successful. I've seen some
info that suggested trying to run a repair after booting to the NT server CD
and using a recovery disk to restore the SAM, but setup fails to recognize
the hard drives even after putting in the drivers for the SCSI controller.
I've tried loading the system and then arcserve and doing a restore of the
reg, but that seems to have blown up the server as well... :-) (oops...
hehe).
If someone could point me in the right direction that'd be helpful.

Having the HDD image and current ERD as well as BDC should suffice.

Thanks for the reply. Only problem is I'm trying to document recovery from
the ground up. For single-node failure that'd work fine, but I want to have
a procedure for a complete failure as well.

I know my approach covers more than a complete failure so I am missing
something, but what?
