Assuming we remove the quorum disk and replace it with another disk
Is this sufficient:
a) start cluster service with /fixquorum
b) change disk signature for quorum disk with e.g. clusterrecovery.exe
c) restore checkpoint files using clusterrecevery.exe

or do we have to do the more involved:
a) start cluster service with /fixquorum
b) change disk signature for quorum disk with e.g. clusterrecovery.exe
c) restore system state from backup. Run clusrest.exe to copy system state
quorum files back to the quorum drive.

The difference appears to be not restoring the quorum logs -unfortunately
the documents I have found are not clear on this point (does fixquorum
reinitialise the logs)

Thanks
David
