Restore to different hardware


Recommended Posts

I'm using Retrospect 5.6 Server on a Win2k domain controller and have created an emergengy backup CD and Tape for the entire system.

 

I need to restore this backup to a new server and I'm having a lot of problems. The recover CD will load the Win2k setup and then when it reboots it could not find the win install so I copied over the correct boot.ini file and now when it boots I get an error that says the "ntoskrnl.exe" file cannot be found or is corrupted. I tried copying back the correct ntoskrnl file from the Win install CD in the DRWINNT.TMP folder and still get the same problem.

 

Any ideas here???

Have you tried editing boot.ini? Perhaps it points to a different partition or path than is found on the new machine.

 

 

 

Also, when you say that the restore is to a "new server", do you mean that all the hardware is different from the backed-up machine? If so, that isn't a supported recovery method, given the nature of the Windows architecture.
