I cant say that wont work, but I would strongly recommend not to approach this that way, I would put money on an installation plagued with issues. Reinstall windows, reinstall apps with appropriate methods (like exchange cant just be re-installed new, setup needs switch's), then add in only applicable data. You are *will* break all sorts of things pulling the rug out from under complicated applications like AD/Exchange etc... >I would expect problems when, for whatever reasons, you need to >restore for example IIS (meta)data only, as I'm pretty sure that doing >this in a running windows will not result in a merge of the data in >the live system and the restored data, but only in an error (more >likely) or loss of the current data by overwriting with backed up >files (less likely). Yup, Metabase is involved, AFAIK it best done from a system state or using the provided scripts which you can script with a runbeforejob and let Bacula snag it after. See msdn and technet, you'll see all that's involved in that ugly one. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc783795%28WS.10%29.aspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
