Hi, hopefully some of you experts out there can give me some advice on a problem that I have with my backup server.
I have an HP AIO 1200r with a 2 disk RAID 1 array for the operating system (Microsoft 2003 Standard) and backup exec. The rest of the drives in the chassis are set as RAID 5 for data backup.
The server fails to boot into the operating sytem so I am unable to manage backup exec. I have tried all the usual methods of operating system repair, but I cannot resolve the problem so I am at the point of considering a reinstall of the operating sytem. If I reinstalled the operating system and backup exec would I be able to link the existing backup jobs that are still stored on the RAID 5 array back to the fresh install of Backup Exec without the catalogue files?
thanks in advance
