I was more specifically answering the question of RAID (asked by Duncan
below).

HECK, Intel or AMD, it's probably running the ACPI Multiprocessor HAL in
both cases.

Actually, it retargets the HAL during the process of restoring the data.
In addition, it does have the F6 option when you boot on the System
Recovery CD. It has lots of controller drivers right on the CD, though.
I've only had to use the F6 option with some SATA controllers that are not
name brand. Each time they update the software they add more drivers to
the package.

the imaging software adds the drivers to the files restored from image
and edits the registry to make windows aware of it.

Its just automating a process that has always been possible.

Thanks to all who responded. I just wanted confirmation about not
installing
Outlook. It's beyond my comprehension why Symantec would make a tool
that
would force you to install something that would cause problems.
According to
what I've learned, this is the ONLY way that part of System Recovery
will
work.

I guess I'll just stick with deleted item retention and forget about
the
rest.

John, I have a lot of experience with the product and I LOVE it for
imaging
the server and restoring is a breeze. It does a great job on restoring
to
different hardware. I had a SBS 2003 Premium with all the apps
installed and
running on an Intel based box. I restored it to an AMD based box with
different NIC's, controller technology (SATA vs. SCSI), video, HAL, the
works. I was able to restore the box, fix the NIC settings, reboot,
correct
the RRAS configuration for which NIC to use, and it was up and fully
functional in 1 hour. Pretty awesome.

How does it work - re you put the image on different hardware, and say
the old and new hardware have different hardware RAID controllers. How
does the image go on the new hardware - given it does not have the
"press F6 to load addtional drivers", RAID controller driver?

Just wondering.
