SV: Xp and Win2003 restore steps with out using BMR/ASR.

2003-10-08 Thread Christian Svensson
Hi Mark!
ASR doesnt support to restore your system to a diffrent hw.
So the only way to do a disaster recovery to diffrent hw is only to install the OS 
from scraths. And in a short time also the BMR tools can fix that.

I'm looking for recovery steps for windows XP and win2003 server on same HW
/ different HW without using BMR and ASR tools.


Why do you not wish to use the tools that were created to help you do exactly what you 
want?

Hello,

Here is the process we use since several years with several customers.
It's for NT.
You will have to adapt it to W2003 XP but the principle is the same.
You can find some informations in redbooks (redpieces drafts 25/09/03) :
* IBM Tivoli Storage Manager: Bare Machine Recovery for Microsoft Windows 2003 and XP
* IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Bare Machine Recovery for Windows with Cristie BMR

  1.. Install system NT with Microsoft CDRom on another disk than C: Then install the 
service pack.
  2.. Copy  boot.ini , which is on C:, in  boot.bck .
  3.. Install on the same disk TSM client. Customize TSM client with the same name 
than the one to restore.
  4.. Launch GUI of TSM client and select all C: and restore.
  5.. With Edit (wordpad, etc.) open the file boot.ini restored.
  6.. Copy at the end of this file the content of boot.bck.  boot.ini contains now two 
adresses of boot : the one of the restored system (which doesn't work yet) and the one 
of the installed system (which is working).
  7.. Then copy two other files from the installed system to the restored system :
  WINNT/SYSTEM32/HAL.DLL
  WINNT/SYSTEM32/NTOSKRNL
  8.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system.
  9.. Relaunch GUI of client TSM and ask for a restoration of the registry base with 
selecting system object.
  10.. Reboot the server on the restored NT system.
  11.. Verify  that it works fine.
  12.. When restore of C: is OK, it's possible to delete NT system on the other disk. 
Then modify boot.ini to delete the boot address of the installed NT system.
  13.. Restore the other disks with the GUI TSM client.

It works and you are less dependant of the hardware.
I hope it will help !
Ask if you need more.

Hi!
That funny!
I have just spoke to Bill Boyer about this.
If you know how to run a disaster recovery manualy with Windows 2000. Then you know 
how to run a disaster recovery on a Windows 2003.
It´s the same way.

But here is the steps. With Installation CD
- Install Windows 200x Server with the same service pack that was before
- Install the same level or newer iTSM Client
- Create a new domain (Same as the old one) or Join the domain.
- Boot up the server in AD Repair mode and restore the AD with iTSM.
- Boot up your server in normal mode. Then restore all data. (Include the Windows 
Directory)
