I want to practice restores and backup up one of my laptops through the remote agent. Now if i put a new hadr drive in the laptop and want to restore how do I perform this operation? I am running BE 10d. Thanks for your help.

The relevant section of the Administrator's Guide is page 615 onwards.
The basic process is:

Reinstall Windows on the PC. Give it network settings, and the same computer name as at the time of backup. Don't join it to the domain.
Deploy the remote agent to the PC. You'll need to use the local admin username and password for install at this point.
Using BE, restore all the hard drives and Shadow Copy Components. Set the restore over existing files option.
Reboot.

That's it! If you stick the process, it should probably work OK. If your PC has Windows XP SP2 on it when you back it up, you MAY have to install SP2 before doing the restore - I'm not sure on this.
