You might look at Bare Metal Restore from The Kernel Group. They're at...
www.tkg.com
We've found it's pretty darned slick on AIX. Of course, I haven't tested it
with NT/2000 yet, but the documentation says it works.

Dennis, not a pretty picture indeed. Especially when we read things like
'Full
support for Windows 2000'. I had to sit through one of our NT guys
demonstrating
DR for Win 2000 using BackupExec. He was so excited about how it worked. We
have
a procedure on attempting to do a full restore which seems to work but since
it's a test server I'm not sure if there are other things that are not
working
or missing(although the event log doesn't show anything too disturbing after
the
restore.) It's just rather embarrassing to not have documentation on full
recovery from the company that sold you the product. I would love to know
that
the steps we used were correct and there are no gotcha's

Keith,
This is exactly the same story we were told. Third party / Redbook.
According to Tivoli/IBM, you are on your own. Not a pretty picture...

Subject: Help Restoring Windows 2000 Server
Is there a Bare-Metal or equivalent document detailing restoring a Windows
2000 server? We have just implemented several of these systems and the
concern is that in a disaster we need to know the correct steps to recover.
We talked with IBM and they told us that they have never supported a
Bare-Metal recovery on any of the platforms and that was only covered by
3rd party writers of Redbooks. They said that they did support restoration
of files just not of a totally crashed server. Needless to say I wasn't
happy. I still have not told this to our management.
