Hi Sylvie:
Thank you for posting here.
To answer your questions:
1. You can follow this detailed step-by-step document to restore your SBS
to a new computer.
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/d/8/bd8e1a40-d202-429a-8eb7-26300d6
2bcc9/BKU_bkuprstr.doc
As the document stated, the hardware must be similar for a restore. This
rule can be applied to ALL Windows OS not only SBS. Here, I would like to
explain this. When we use SBS 2003 server backup, the system state will be
archived. The system state includes AD database, IIS metabase, registry,
hardware information and drivers etc. If you restore the system state to a
different hardware, the spare server could not operate because the original
registry and drivers do not match the hardware abstract layer (HAL) of the
destination server.
When you rebuild your server, the new license can be imported by Transfer
License Wizard in the license snap-in. However, if the hardware is not
identical, just like the Product Activation will be not successful over the
Internet, the license import will also be failed.
For the production activation, you can just call the activation center. For
the Licensing importing, please just call the Licensing support center, the
Licensing phone representative will generate a new "Installation ID Number"
for you and then, you can import the License successfully.
For the Licensing Center, You can call 1-800-426-9400 (select option 4),
Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. (PST) to speak directly to a
Microsoft licensing specialist.
2. During the process of the Ntbackup, there is an option "Verify data
after the backup completes." You can find it from
"Tools"->"Options"->"General". This will help us verify that the completed
backup file is available.
Hope the above information helps. Please feel free to let me know if
anything is unclear.
Have a nice day! :)
Best Regards
Edward Tian(MSFT)

| Hello to all,
| First I want to thank all of you for the good advices you generaly give
in
| th posts.
|
| I read a lot about backup with SBS 2003 and thanks to you I made my mind
for
| what is our best way of saving our data :
|
| Every night a complet backup (via SBS) in the HDD of another computer
| dedicated for this purpose (because my server has only a USB 1 connection
and
| no firewire and as it is a Dell I didn' want to play with PCI card that
is
| not conform with it).
| Once a week a copy of the backup on another USB HDD for off site copy.
|
| We choose HDD solution as we don't like (and don't trust also) tape
solution.
|
| Concerning the restore, if I understand well in case of restore on the
same
| computer with all same components we have to use the procedure on
| smallbizserver.net.
|
| The only things I couldn't find in previous posts are :
| 1- What is the complete procedure of restoring if I have to restore on
| another computer or even another HDD (fire, theft or HDD crash) ?
| 2- How can I test my backup, is there another way than trying to open
some
| files ?
|
| Again many thanks for helping
|
| Sylvie
