not to bump kkate
2 - what I think kkate means is, you want to have the image stored somewhere ( I store mine on a external TB USB drive to restore from when I use the recovery CD on the new system/hardware....choose recover...then choose the clone you copied that you want to image on server(via usb drive, mapped network share..etc)
4 - as far as transferring or adding an IP.....when i've recovered to new hardware (which i'm doing now for a migration) the Ip pulls over onto the new adapter...settings and all...I just make sure I dont have it on the lan since I already have an active server....in your case if it's a complete recovery....you should be fine imo.
6 - you need to be concerned about part size because if your old partition is 60 gb on a 120 gb drive and you try to recover to a 120 gb drive....if you don't configure your recovery correct you will only see 60gb total on that new 120 gb drive when you run your recovery...the other 60 will be unallocated and you can't do anything with it at all.....basically you have to run the recovery again and choose to use the entire disk size in KB's...then you'll get your entire drive available on new system
6 - I'm having this issue now, but basically you aren't running a new setup in windows (that asks you to hit F6 I think to add raid adapters) , so you need to create a custom recovery disk and add the raid drivers to that iso custom disk and use that as the recovery disk on the new system.
I'm having an issue now where I can't install the raid controllers on the cloned new hardware after recovery....so I installed the drivers on a custom cd and ran recovery again...all is well ,but when I enable raid on the new hardware the server keeps restarting at post..gets to windows screen then loops....I disabled raid and the server is fine....
I hope this helps....just some things I've come across. Currently recoverying to new hardware ...6 new servers. software is great also.
also if you have the trial you cannot create custom recovery disk....you need to contact your reseller to get you a full trial license to use.
