HI,
After our server hardware became unstable we have purchased new Intel Server with S5500BC motherboard. Everything seems to work OK but the SR Restore Disk cannot find the NIC adapter/s on the new system! We are backing up to a Seagate BlackArmor NAS and that side is fine. I just need to connect over the network to be able to do the restore.
Running win2003 SBS domain controller with C and D Raid Drives. The existing motherboard is also Intel.
I thought that the SRD was old so I downloaded the latest version. No change! The Intel Pro100/1000 drivers are on the SRD so I have no idea what the problem is!!
I read somewhere that there was a problem restoring to systems with multiple NICs but we have restored the existing system twice already and it has two onboard NICs. I thought that I would be OK with Intel system but have drawn a blank on this one. Existing system is limping and I need to migrate very soon.
Regards,
Rudd

If the drivers are not on the SRD, you'll need to contact the hardware vendor to get a copy of the relevant driver so that you can either build a custom SRD or manually load the driver before starting a restore/backup via the SRD.
If you are using the 2010 SRD, you'll need to use 2008/Vista based drivers.
Hope that helps.
