Thanks, I got that far - its when I'm creating a restore job for the system state, how can I restore it to a machine when the machine name listed in the restore window has a Fully qualified domain name but the machine I want to restore it to isnt on the domain - that is the backup server can find server_b but cannot find server_b.domainname.com
File redirection seems to work for files but not System State
PS: I am restoring over the network
