I am trying to make a disaster recovery plan using ntbackup in case my hard drive died. I have scheduled a full backup and differential backups to a tape drive. These seem to work. I then ran the ASR and created a floppy disk and a tape. My next step was to borrow a replacement hard drive and test my plan. I used my XP cd the floppy drive and the tape and all seemed ok untill 2hr 30 minutes later when the tape stopped loading and I rebooted I received the dreaded ntldr missing mesage. I used recovery console and accessed the hard drive ntldr was there? I tried another hard disk as I thought it may be faulty but the same thing happened. I installed xp from my cd then restored the last full backup but this also rendered my disk unbootable. Has anyone had any success with ASR or Full restores?
Yes but not from tape, and I find the process very slow and clunky. I went to Drive Image from Powerquest, which has since been bought out by Symantec and the technology incorporated in the latest version of Ghost. Other options are Acronis True Image and Terabyte Unlimited's Image for Windows.
