Hi, Normally NICs do have a couple of files that don't belong to System State that are binary and others.
The Mouse situation can't I explain but I'm guessing you have the same issue as the NIC problem.

Our current backup process for Win2003 is to include the systemstate but EXCLUDE C:\windows from the standard filesystem backup - this is under the assumption that the systemstate covers all that is needed in there (for a base system recovery at least) In testing a system recovery (VMware environ) the systemstate and C: restore work fine but after a reboot there is no network and no mouse - but the keyboard works :) If we do another backup of the donor with the C:\windows INCLUDED, then do a systemstate & C: restore (in that order), all works perfectly after a reboot. So, was my understanding of the systemstate backup not correct i.e. is this working as designed, or do I have an issue? Client is 5.5.3.0. Thanks Steven
