Guest Will Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I'm using NT Backup on Windows 2003 Server 64-bit and backup the boot volume and System State. I then restore to an alternate device, with the intention to migrate this to boot device. On restore, I see that even restoring System State, none of the registry files in c:\windows\system32\config are being restored. What is the trick to restoring the complete boot volume, including System State, to an alternate drive? I cannot use Dynamic Disk to mirror on this computer. I installed Symantec Storage Foundation Basic, and it successfully managed to break dynamic replication of the boot volume. -- Will

Guest Will Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Recreating Boot Device from Backup No, we selected Overwrite Always, and how would this explain the result anyway, because the defective I am reporting is the *absence* of a file at the destination, not an older version. NONE of the registry files are being restored. -- Will "Debo" <shonuff6699@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1187950456.208625.165820@z24g2000prh.googlegroups.com... > On Aug 24, 1:45 am, "Will" <westes-...@noemail.nospam> wrote: >> I'm using NT Backup on Windows 2003 Server 64-bit and backup the boot >> volume >> and System State.
