The problem here is that I never had any single problem doing NT workstation restores and Server restores with the Mac version of Retro. But I can't do that with Win2000, although I really hope I'm misreading this. The 'restore data files only' is barely acceptable when ou are talking about a

Hi John, So in other words...the only way to do a system restore on a Win2000 machine safely and reliably is from the windows server? Or from the workstation itself. Both Retrospect for Win (5.11 and up) and MS Backup (the one bundled with Win2k) can backup the registry. You may set up the
