Backup Exec 15 - SDR Restoration

Hi,

We have a computer running in windows 7, used 24/7. The computer suddenly hangs up (network-NG, remote connection-NG). To resume its operations, we must forced restart the computer. We cannot pull-out the said computer since it is used in the production area. Now, i'm planning to replace the unit. To replace a new unit with all of its configuration being retained, i'm planning to use BE15 SDR and restore it to a new computer.

Question: While restoring, will there be a computer and IP address conflict? Turning off the computer during the SDR Resrtoration (restoring to new computer) is not possible since the computer is greatly needed in the production area.

Thanks!

    Yes. The same computername and IP address, if fixed, will be used for the new computer.  You would have to work around this network problem.

        No.

        Do read the chapter on SDR in the Admin Guide
