Dear all,

        I am using ntbackup to backup . What I want is if my windows
is crashed, then I can reinstall a new windows and then dump out the
backup from
backup file created by ntbackup and can run all the application
installed before.

        I have done a experiment like that, I backup all the drive c:
d: and system state. Then I reinstall a new windows, and dump out all
the things from the backup file. I am using the same PC to do this
experiment. After I dump out
the backup file, the result is not successful, many application cannot
be run,
the application complains some file(like dll) are missing.

        I believe those file was not backup during the backup process.
So, the
question is how can I backup all the files properly and I can run all
the appliction after re-dump the backup file. Or maybe I should use
other powerful third party backup software, like arcserve?

Thanks for your help.
