Hi, guys, Need your advice on the server hardware swap issue. Someone told me I could use Windows system backup tool to backup the Windows server and its contents. Then I could restore the backup file in another box (diff hardware). Lastly use the windows install CD to do a emergency repair to the restored Windows.I was told thatby doing the steps above, Icould even run all the applications in the new box. Has someone tried this before? Can someone help me to clarify whether it works or not? Many thanks!! Regards, Sand
