BackUp Exec Server Crashed

[Richard_parry]

Hi,

A backup Exec 10 server runnning on 2k3 SP1 at a client site has crashed with a hard drive failure (only drive in the server!!)
Finally they have agreed that having RAID 5 in that server is actually a good idea so I will be rebuilding the server.

My concern is how to restore the original server with Backup exec catalogs and databases onto the rebuilt one which will be using a RAID card instead of just a SCSI connected drive->different drivers

I set the server to do full backups of itself each night.

It seems the approach is to rebuild the server, reinstall Backup Exec, catalog the latest tape and restore from that, but I think this will render the server unbootable?

Is there a good how-to on this procedure?

Thanks Asma, that doc was all I needed and, full credit to Veritas, the restore worked perfectly.
