asr backup from disk ?

[c0d3r]

I want to test a DC restore to a new machine, using Windows 2003 ASR
I don't have a tape drive, so I have put the ASR .bkf file (about 4Gb) on
disk

I can boot the new server, go into ASR mode, it picks up the floppy... but
then I need to point the restore program to the bkf file - and I can't find
any way to feed it my .bkf file

any tips ?

thanks

Hello c0d3r,

Is the new server the same hardware? You say you put the file on disk, what
kind of disk? CD DVD HARDDISK USBdrive?

yes, it was all part of the same process, so I included the solutions to get
a isolated DC up and running in the same post...

thanks
