Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Why System State
How about vStorage CBT
To start with...
1.Windows Security - You wont get windows security back during restore without
system state backups
2.Registry - You wont get windows registry back during restore without system
state backups. Again to start with - Failure to restore registry will leave
your applications
How about vStorage CBT differentials?
Anyone actually have a problem with the registry, certificate store etc
not coming back to the point in time of the differential backup?
I am torn if I should keep doing my incremental /synthetics including
system state as well as periodic vStorage fulls,
Given the availability of rapid OS deployment/restore via Ghost,
Altiris/DS, Symantec System Recovery, etc, and with the special exceptions
of a Domain Controller or a Certificate Server, why would I ever care to
back up the System State on Windows servers?
