Hi Fistcar,
Thank you for posting here.
From your post, I understand that your SBS server was backed up withAcronis True Image, then, it was restored to a new machine. After that,
replication problem was encountered when replicating from remote-dc to
sbs-server.
Firstly, I would like to explain that to backup and restore SBS server, we
need to follow the steps in the following article. We don't recommend using
third party programs to backup and restore the SBS server.
Backing Up and Restoring Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49916
If you would like to migrate SBS server to new hardware, please refer to
this article. Restoring the server to new hardware is not supported.

Based on the current situation, we cannot simple restore the backup.
Instead, we can install the SBS into the existing domain to have the AD
information replicated back since the AD information will retain in the
additional AD controller.
Note: You may need to manually remove the information about the original
SBS server in the AD before the installation. (Also need to remove the
Exchange information from the AD). In addition, you also need to seize all
FSMO roles from the additional DC.

Since this could be extremely complex, and our troubleshooting on SBS
public newsgroup will be time-consuming, so if you would like to call CSS
for assistance, I think it is a more effective way. To obtain the phone
numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site

Based on my research and experience, I also included some suggestions on
this issue.
Suggestion 1: Install the latest Service Pack and updates
Suggestion 2: Rerun CEICW to reset all configurations

Suggestion 3: Verify Network connectivity between SBS-server and remote DC
(Ping FQDN and IP address from each other)
Suggestion 4: Run NTDSUTIL METADATA CLEANUP on the remote DC to remove
metadata of any DC that is no longer functional. Please refer KB216498:
How to remove data in Active Directory after an unsuccessful domain
controller demotion
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216498
Suggestion 5: Add the following registry key on both DCs
==============
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
Value Name: Allow Replication With Divergent and Corrupt Partner
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters
Value Name: Replicator Allow SPN Fallback
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 1
After that, force replication again from SBS server.
