Thanks for the reply. Sorry I did not respond earlier but i have been very busy. The issue is not the network driver as it fairly new (august 2008) and ther are no other network issues on the server really.
The way I got the bare metal restores to work is by doing a repair install after completing the bacula restore. For NT boxes, I had to use NTbackup to restore the entire C: drive in order to get it to work. Does anyone else have any other ideas of how to speed up restores? Any settings I can change, tweaks, etc?
