From: Mike_in_Nebraska on 5 Jan 2010 20:44 Been at it for awhile and got Backup Exec to connect to the DB. These two articles did the trick: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/311668.htm http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/256661.htm The gist of it was that I needed to do a repair install of MDACS 2.8. Should be able to post my 'full' backup contents soon. Mike
From: Mike_in_Nebraska on 5 Jan 2010 21:22 I got the inventory and catalog done on the backup set. I have the following: System State (AD, Cert Svcs, COM+ Clas Reg db, IIS, Registry, Sys files, SYSVOL) Shadow Copy of System State (DHCP, Event logs, WINS, WMI) SQL Server 'SharePoint' - full SQL Server 'SBSMonitoring' - full SQL Server 'MSFW' - full SQL Server 'BKUPEXEC' - full SQL Server - full C:\ drive (Docs and Settings, I386, InetPub, NTDS, Program Files, System Volume Information, SYSVOL, Windows E:\ [not important] SQL Server 'Microsoft ##SSEE' - full First Storagr Group (Mailbox Store, Public Folder Storage) So ... Any recommendations on what order to restore them in? I beleive the Backup Exec help menu has the info, but there might be some real-world experience out there. Mike
From: Mike in Nebraska on 9 Jan 2010 16:34 After waiting out a snowstorm and time for the roads to be plowed, I finally made it in last evening. I spent 12.5 hrs and still don't have a fully functioning system. Cliff, I know your advice is sound, but I don't trust my abilities to do as you suggested and have it all come back (for me) within 12-18 hours. So ... I stripped down SBS and got SQL Server 2005 Express and Symantec Backup WExec 12.5 up by about 11 PM. Restored C:\Program Files and C:\ Windows (starting easy - I thought) and - fater an hour waiting for it to complete and a reboot, I had much of the old system, but SQL was again broken. Spent a couple hours on it, got nowhere, so I decided to go simple. Used Revo Uninstaller and a registry cleaner to uninstall and cleanup after all SQL installs, instances and MSDE's, Brought them back one at a time, working through the issues as they came up. Got RWW and - I thought - email working and left at 6:30 am to apologize to my wife for yet another all-nighter, and grab a couple hours sleep before heading back to work at my other job. Here's my remaining issues, which I'll work through one at a time. I'd appreciate any links or advice. ISA 2004 got installed and I was able to run CEICW successfully, but I can't connect to the server with an MMC, not is it showing up as an installed service. Here's the error log from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Integration\Windows Small Business Server 2003\Logs: [01/09/10,05:26:26] Domain Configuration: [2] Unable to get dnscmd on the box...continueing setup.

Yeah, I know. But I work one F/T and 2 P/T jobs now; the cost of a PSS call is hard to come by. I figure my time is much cheaper, espcially if I sacrifice sleep so it doesn't take away from my wife. Plus, I like to think I learn by trying to fix it myself. Sometimes I actually do ....
