Thanks Andrew I did exactly that procedure ... but it didn't work ... I will try it again just to make sure I didn't forget a step ... but this is what I did
- Full incremental of my C: and D: drive , and system object - IMAGE backup using Windows PE procedure - ADD and DELETE files and folders my C: and D; drive - Full incremental of my C: and D: drive , and system object - Crash my server - Use Windows PE and DISKPART.EXE to rebuil my partitions - Restore image of my C: drive with the -deletefiles option - Reboot - Restore incremental backup of my C: and D: drive - Restore System object - Reboot - On C: drive : all new files are there .. even the one that was deleted - On D: drive : everything is perfect (because it was not an image restore of D:) I will try again Thanks again Luc Andrew Raibeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> 2005-01-24 03:32 PM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU cc: Subject: Re: restore image on windows 2000 > Did you run an incremental backup after the image backup? I sent this too soon: did you run a full incremental backup *before* the image, then run incremental after the image? You need to start from a full incremental backup, then run image, then subsequent incrementals, in order for the TSM server to keep track of additions to and deletions from the file system.
