Disaster recovery fails

[Gert_Albertsson]

I tried to perform a disaster recovery in our testsystem.
I applied a default installation of Windows 2003 standard
with the same computer name and ip-number of the server
and then I performed a full backup from tape to this server.
However when I afterwards reboot the server it won't boot and puts up an error message that says
"load needed DLLs for kernel." and there it stops.

I searched the web and found that I guess I must patch the default installation of windows 2003 on the server to the same level as it was when I ran the tape backup that is servicepack 1 and latest servicepacks.

Has anyone else had this problem and can confirm that this is the right way to go?

hi Gert,

It sounds like you used IDR.

Personally, I wouldn' t use it, all it seems to do is cause problems such as this.

Try manually installing your OS, installin Veritas, and then restoring your data.

Hello,
Are you using the IDR option?

Then you can refer the following technote
