NTBACKUP restore

[Guest Eduardo]

I have a Win 2000 server and I have 3 units:

 

C:\

D:\

E:\

 

I'm doing a Full ntbackup monthly (1 bkf file for all the units)

I'm doing a Diff ntbackup daily (1 bkf file for each day) too.

 

My question is: If I need to reinstall the server, what's the

requisite to restore the last full backup and its diff backup in the

new installation??

 

Can I install a Win 2000 server with only the C:\ unit or I need the

same partitions and size to restore the bkf?

ntbackup create the new partirion itself if free space on the disk??

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Eduardo.-

I havn't had much luck with restoring a bootable partition using

NTBACKUP, but it works well to restore a specific file. I suggest

something like Ghost or other backup utility for 2000 or XP. Even

Partition Magic can copy an entire boot partition and restore it with

ease. I believe Microsoft has improved the backup in Vista.
