Hi All,
- Can I use restore system state to full resote server ?
- Is it including all Windows update / installed software / etc ?
- Fully same as backup state ?
- Estimate restore time ? (need to write report to boss)
================================
Is the procedure like:
1) Reinstall corrupted server
2) Install BE agent
3) Restore system state
Thanks !

To fully recover any server, you need to backup the entire C: drive as well as the system state. The system state alone is not sufficient to recover a server.
Backing up the entire C: drive and the system state would obviously include all the Windows updates, etc.
Nobody can tell you want the restore time is because nobody knows how big is your C: drive and the system state. You need to test out a restore to be able to tell the restore time.

Hi pkh,
"Entire C: drive + system state" can restore everyting on C:
If the server have other partitions for data storage like D: , is system state also need it ??
Or I can leve it if data not important ?
Thanks

If the other drives contains crucial information that is required to fully restore the server then it is needed. The best way to know is the ensure that the SDR light is on. If the SDR light is off, then a crucial part of the data needed to recover a server is missing.

- After reinstall OS / install BE agent, is the hostname important for restore ? same hostname is MUST ?
- How about EDI system partition, is it need ?
- Please help to vertify the procedure to restore.
1) install OS
2) change hostname / ip / install BE agent
3) restore
Thanks

The easiest way to restore a server is using SDR. Read the SDR chapter in the Admin Guide.
For manual recovery, read the Restores chapter in the Admin Guide.

... because of your exludes.
Deselect everything and then select the entire server. Otherwise, create a new job and select the entire server.
