cornfused2 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Have a client who is running all Win98SE machines. Fastest machine is a P3-800/ 256MB ram. Want to backup all the machines to a removable hard drive that is in this computer. What to swap the hard drives on a daily basis in case of disaster. Does restrospect actually allow one to restore the clients from the backups on removable drive WITHOUT having to install Win98SE FIRST on each client? I can not find any pricing for any of the products including DISK to DISK nor a detailed description of what the latter actually does. I believe one requires disaster recovery license to perform the recovery on the clients without having to install a base O/S? Is this correct?

cornfused2 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 Must have a stumper of a question here. Have to make a decision within the week and so far I am leaning toward a competitor's product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi In order to restore a client machine you must first get a base install of Windows installed, set up basic networking and then install Retrospect client. If you get the Disastery Recovery option you can create a recovery CD that does all of this for you. Disk to Disk is a good choice but does not include any client licenses. You would need to purchase client packs to match the number of clients you have. Thanks nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
