Well, it worked. I followed the Microsoft white paper and had to restore the
WSUS database files, restart the WSUS SQL instance and voila! Back in
business. The DVD worked well. One install, did not have to swap disks or
restart anything. Pretty smooth all in all.

R2 just goes on the last step anyway.

Yes. That's the Susan Bradley article I followed. The Microsoft article
is: "Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003,"
Microsoft Corporation, Published: July 2006. Version: 5
This document says to install SBS and any service packs running at the
time of the last backup. I understand steps one through eleven. Step
twelve says: "Install any Windows Server 2003 service pack that was
running on your server when you ran the last backup."
However, the article is not specific about how to do this (number twelve
is the last installation step). I guess I can successfully install SP1.
But, how do I install R2? And, can I install all of this from the DVD?

www.sbslinks.com/sql2005.htm is what he's referring to.

Hi Jim.
Thank you for posting here.
From the description, I understand this issue is that you want to
restore your original backup to a new hard drive. If I am off base,
please don't hesitate to let me know.
Regarding your questions, the process is similar to data recovery
process. I'm not sure which July 2006 white paper you referred, is it
the following article?
Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49916
If it is please exactly follow it. And I'm not so sure the Susan
Bradley's install steps either. I'll give you an article about how to
install SQL 2005 WorkGroup Edition on SBS 2003 R2 as an attachment
(also you can find it in your Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2
Premium Edition - Premium Technologies Disc 1), please follow it
exactly.
The main point you need to verify is that your new installation level
needs to be same as your backup installation level. As you have
installed R2 and SQL 2005, if you have other components installed in
your backup version, and you haven't installed on your new server (e.g.
Exchange), you need to install them before restore. These articles may
help:

Hope that information may help you a lot. If you have further concerns
please feel free to let me know.
Have a nice day and Merry Christmas!
