Hi,

We are using a USB Maxtor hard drive for our backup's with Vertias Exec.

It is backing up no problems to this drive, but I was wondering if the disk
drive in the server died tomorrow, how would I restore from this USB drive?

1. Wouldn't it need windows drivers to be able to read the data from the USB
drive when in a command prompt?

Would we have to install SBS 03 from scratch and then install Vertias, and
then do a complete restore of all of C:\ drive?

Thanks
Tristan
