Is it possible that the network driver on your boot device is just out of date (i.e. buggy) or that the firmware (hard drives, controllers, network adapter, etc) on the server with the problem just needs updating?
While we're on the topic... how did you get the windows bare metal restore to work? I was able to get a complete filesystem restore to run but couldn't make the server boot into that restored windows after that. > From: Quibble <jmannu...@dynamicquest.com> > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > Hi, > > I have been doing bare metal restores, using bacula, of NT boxes, 2000 > boxes, and 2003 boxes with some success.
