Re: RESTORING TO FOREIGN HARDWARE (DIFFERENT RAID CONTROLLERS)
Could I ask you how much you had to install (EDC) in the 72 hours you had, and how did it go? We just got back from a DR Test and only had 48 hours to restore our Financials, HR, and Polling with a total of about 500 GB, and would had done it if SQL backtrack would have restored correctly.

Re: RESTORING TO FOREIGN HARDWARE (DIFFERENT RAID CONTROLLERS)
Until you get to 4.2 or higher AND the apar is fixed, you could use the NTBACKUP command to save the system state (as Microsoft calls it) to a flat file. Run this as a preschedulecmd. We had success with recoveries of systems that were pre 4.2 at one site. Then your recovery becomes, Load 2K, Restore the C: drive, then use NTBACKUP to restore the system state from the restored file.

Re: RESTORING TO FOREIGN HARDWARE (DIFFERENT RAID CONTROLLERS)
Outstanding suggestion, Bill; that's exactly what we did for a customer with all Win2K servers at 12 locations around the world. We even did validated both (a) domain controller (with Active Directory), and (b) Exchange 5.5 server recovery using the NTbackup trick for System State backups -- I think they're still doing it that way, which totally avoids the limitations of TSM client!

Re: RESTORING TO FOREIGN HARDWARE (DIFFERENT RAID CONTROLLERS)
If your backup data was done using 4.2 or later, Wanda's recovery document (for a basic server) should work fine; you do a basic/minimal operating system install, including the device specific drivers, then fully restore boot-system drive (C:, right?), do not re-boot until System Objects are restored.
