Hi, Do you reinstall XP and then do a restore from the ntbackup file using the copy of backup that gets installed in Windows? I backup the server here nightly onto a backup array which has a weekly cycle, and on the occasion I needed to restore this is what I did. I tried some of the more professional backups, but this one works a treat. The other thing I do is to use rsync to backup files I use on a regular basis which I don't include on the ntbackup, these actually go on the other server, and include such things as profiles, my documents directories and the MP3 file store. The rsync program isn't very good at keeping rotating backups, but it is grate for running every 15 minutes on the system, and if you loose a file, you can restore it very easily. Andrew. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 25 May 2006 22:01 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: norton ghost Roger, So you're saying you re-installed Windows, then did an XP backup. Then, you crashed . . . or what! I can see you could re-install anything if you hadn't crashed badly but, if you can't get into the system, what then? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: roger south <mailto:roger.south@xxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 9:29 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: norton ghost I do all my backups using the Windows XP facility and it works in Windows so screen readers are fully functional. I have done full copies of my hard drives when I did a clean re-install and lost absolutely nothing. I do in fact have a copy of Ghost and just do not like it.
