Does the IDR Restore Wizard ever come up before the blue screen occurs? Have you restored any data at all yet? You may want to try a couple of things. First of all, make sure you are using the most recent version of Backup Exec. I believe a new version of 9.0 has just recently been released...

Shellac, What version of Backup Exec are you running and on which OS? As far as I know, the only way that the DR files are created is if certain criteria are followed. First make sure that the IDR option is installed, then make sure that when you run the backups that they are full backups...

Zakallen, There is one major flaw in what you are telling us here. Bootable Tape is not supported for Remote IDR, so it could not have worked for you. You are not even able to prep a bootable tape IDR remotely. Try it yourself and you'll see. If you did get it to work then you are...

technotone, Since it is a SCSI HDD you may want to do some more research on the SCSI controller you are using or even the HDD or PC manufacturer. Either of these should have a utility that will low level your drives for you. My best bet for you would be in the SCSI controller manufacturer. I...

Nothing can stop a direct hit from lightning not even the best surge suppressors. As far as why the NICs took a hit? Krosus is right. The lightning hit was just trying to find the quickest route to ground and unfortunately found it though your NIC cabling to the NICs. I'm surprised the...

In order to automatically stop the anti-virus services before the backup in question and automatically restart the services again after the backup is complete, you should probably try to use BE's Pre and Post Commands feature. It uses predefined .BAT or .CMD files in order to commit an action...

I have several of these adapters myself. It sounds to me that a couple of things in your SCSI's bios have been disabled. What you should try to do on your next reboot after memory has posted for the machine is hold down the [Ctrl] key and continually press the [A] key until the SCSISelect...

One thing that I did not hear anyone mention is that there might be the possibility that the user is trying to plug the modem into a digital PBX phone system instead of an analog port. Digital PBX phone systems use a higher current than analog phone lines and have been known to blow out modems...

As far as SBS 2000 is concerned, yes they do support it now. Here is what I found. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/238607.htm As far as ease of use, it should be just as easy to recover an SBS from a disaster as it is for anything else. The only caveat there, of course would probably be...

Try switching to a serial mouse to see if the problem goes away. Like stevieblunder suggested in the previous post, you might have a bad PS2 mouse port or even a bad mouse. -J

I have a friend that fixes monitors for a living. He used to work for TTX. He looked at one of mine that was doing that once and told me that it had to do with dust collecting on the horizontal and vertical deflection plates within the CRT itself by means of static electricity. This causes...

Protos, As far as your question about system state, yes, you should backup all selections on the list including drives and system state. No offence Fuubar, but "Broken out of the box" seems a little harsh. I can tell you haven't tested 9.0 IDR. Granted, 8.6 and previous versions...
