RE: backup and restore

Hi Sylvie:
Thanks for your reply!

Yes, you are right. One supplement, if the new hardware is not similar, you
can perform a disaster recovery to the spare server, recreate the user
accounts and restore the data separately.

Regarding the Licensing question, I suggest you contact the Licensing
center for more detailed information.

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.

Have a nice day! :)

Best Regards
Edward Tian(MSFT)

| Hi Edward,
| Thank you for your reply, I answer with a little delay as I am in France
and
| I was very busy all day long.
|
| I have read carrefully the document, and I understand various things :
|
| 1- if I have a HDD on the network I can restore from it with a direc IP,
so
| my solution of backup must be ok.
| 2- if I restore on the same computer no problem of data or licence.
| 3- if I restore to another computer it is ok only with the same hardware,
| what is nearly impossible to get.
|
| So, is it possible to reinstalling SBS from the CD and just restoring all
| the data (you must know that we have only 7 clients) ?
| and what is permit for the licence when it is an OEM version (case of
theft,
| fire or hardware failure) ?
|
| Again many thanks
|
