commander>Anybody have input?

I use http://www.bootitng.com/image.html

Fits on single 3.5 boot disk, backup to multiple cd/dvd blanks (and
will make the bootable) and will backup to a different hard drive

This is if you are looking to make a full image of a drive, since
this product is not designed for individual files

Hi,

My scheme is using two hard drives, the second is in a removable tray. I
weekly use Ghost to clone my main drive to the second. After cloning I
turn the second drive off so it can't be hurt by anything. The second
drive is bootable by a simple jumper swap in case my main drive throws a
rod or something mechanical goes wrong. If it's just a matter of
software screwing things up on my main drive I can just as easily clone
the second drive back to my main drive and be good to go again in less
than 15 minutes.

I have Brightstor Disaster Recovery, which is good for restoring to the same
(or very similar) hardware.
But what I would like is a clear description of how to recover a Win2k DC
from backup tapes to completely different hardware as in the worst case like
a fire. There doesn't seem to be a lot of 'clear' info on this wherever I
have looked.
Microsoft's suggestions don't work for me. Ie; KBA249694
