    Hi Joseph,

        This appears to be an issue with or without SFW installed. I came across this technote written by the BackupExec team, and I hope this information provides you with the proper method to ensure you're able to restore your quorum, even with a different disk signature.

    Please let me know if this works for you. If you run into any problems or need further assistance, it is probably best to post this same question to the Backup Exec Forum or to open a Support case with them.

    I also came across the following Microsoft article that discusses a utility that can be used to assist in recovery: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305793

    I hope this helps,
