Guest Boxington Headmaker Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I have been advised to reinstall the SP2 service pack to a server that is running (a slipstreamed install of) Win2k3 R2 SP2, due to a problem with backing up files with Symantec backup exec. (See http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/293132.htm) If I do reapply SP2, will I then be prompted to re-install all the post SP2 updates? Is there anything that I should be aware of before attempting this? Many thanks, Box
Guest dwhagerman Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 RE: Re-applying SP2 to server 2003 R2 I had to reinstall SP2 for exactly the same reason, and no, it did not affect any other updates.

Many thanks for your reply. I did the update, and it didn't seem to affect anything (update wise), but it didn't solve my problem either! Turns out that you have to backup a DFSR share from under shadow copy components, not just from the machine's D: drive. If you try to backup then BackupExec backs up the folder list, but no files even though it reports that it has backed up sucessfully. Cheers, Box
