You cannot do bare-metal recovery for WinXX with BackupPC. There are two main reasons: locked files are not backed up (eg: registry, outlook pst files etc), and ACLs are not backed up. The long-term goal for BackupPC is to support bare metal recovery for WinXX, but there are lots of issues that need to be resolved to support that. Craig |
