We have a similar DR process as you and I have a script that I use to create a kickstart file for each server automatically along with saving specific configuration files and so on. That together with the install DVD, I can build the OS. We then restore the application partitions (mostly Oracle

Not sure what version of NB you are using, but with NB5.1 we use VBR only for month-end stats. We don't find any real use other than that. If we had to pay for another license we wouldn't. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL

Looking for an opinion on the best (most efficient) way to restore 148 SQL databases that were backed up on a SQL2000 server and need to be restored to a different server that has SQL2005 installed. The SQL2005 server has different path locations for the databases and it already has some databases
