    Wow, I'm surprised BE is being brought up.

    This is 100% in the realm of BackupExec System Recovery SBS.  BE which *could* be made to work, still requires a lot of manual intervention to get going.  BESR on the other hand can do it from the get go with no fuss.

I wasn't aware of the product BESR. Never used it before.

I suppose BESR can only do a full recovery, and not normal file/exchange/sql backup? Then I will need BESR in additional to BE, right?

 

Thanks for the tip anyway. Downloading trial as I write this.
