If the machine is a domain controller then I believe Microsoft best practises would suggest putting some of the log files on a physically different set of disks. You would have to boot into active directory restore mode to fix this anyway so maybe it doesn't matter. > We know the OS will complain bitterly as I suspect you're off > loading things like SQL and Exchange onto the other partitions - but > after a reboot, it should find all the things it's looking for and > work after running Exchange and SQL specific utilities to bring those > databases back into a consistent state. > It should do. Even Backup Exec will not restore the exchange and SQL databases (except I think the actual backup exec database itself) as part of the disaster recovery restore. You have to restore the disk volumes and system state and then boot up and restore the databases. James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
