Yes. As part of the IDR restore it looks at the partitions sizes/letters
that you originally had and gives you the option to change them back to what
they were on the original disk. This part seems to work. I've even tried
creating the drives manually and remapping with the citrix drive remapper
from the install CD. After restore it still wants the SP4 CD, W2K CD.. and
after reboot.. it fails to launch the cmc.

 

I'll have one final go .. but restore to C+D andf after restore I've remap.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Are the drives still remapped after the restore? 
We ran into similar issues (though not using IDR), restoring the whole
system from tape w/ backup exec 8.6 

The system wanted to be on the C: drive, so if we got the server to boot
properly, none of the apps worked because they were looking for M:, etc. ,
in the registry and the system restored to C:.  Solution was to reinstall
Metaframe and remap the drive letters during install.  After that, it seemed
to work fine.  This was MF 1.8, you might try running the remap drives
utility after your restore. 

That said, I still decided to abandon remapped drives in our new MFXP farm
build, and recovering now is a breeze.

You got farther than I did.  With version 8, we actually had tech support
tell us that IDR didn't work.  Got our money back for it.  We since
upgraded to Netbackup and am getting ready to try it's version of IDR.
