It "appears" that the system state backup includes all of \system32 but, as
you say, I'll have to try it sometime.

Hi Angus,
I am not sure that this will work. I think you might have to install the
service pack and all patches after the clean installation to have a
successful restore.
But there is only one way to be really sure: Try it out!
I don't trust my backups until I have successfully tested a full
restore.......

I have a number of remote W2K domain controllers at the far end of slowish
wan links. I use NT Backup to backup the system state locally every night,
compress the .bkf to a .zip file and copy the zip files onto my NAS during
the small hours.
If I had to rebuild a server, could I simply reinstall a basic W2K server,
then restore the system state. Would SPs be maintained or would I have to
apply the proper SP before doing the restore?
