Restore user accounts with ArcServe
Good morning.
I would like to have a copy of security of the users accounts for if I have to install the server from zero.
For my this is vital for not losing the permitions of the directories and files.
I use as backup software the ArcServe that I have to copy to be able to restore the accounts without necessity of having to make a total backup of everything.
I have proven to restore alone the folder system32\config and it has not worked.
Forgive if there are errors, I am using a translator.
Thank you.

Create a second domain controller - that can act as a backup for you.

Hi leew
That is a solution but not the best because i have only one server for make a backup for 2 servers !!.
Thanks.

So... a network can have two DCs. For the longest time, my backup server was also a BDC. Indeed, in some respects to me, having a [tape] backup server also be a BDC makes perfect sense.
I don't think the SAM database will ever be properly and successfully backed up and restored while that installation of windows is running. I think your only other option would be to install a second copy of NT, boot to that, and backup the disk, thereby backing up the not-in-use SAM database. Likewise on the restore.

Using a combination of the repair directory and Arcserve should be sufficient to insure a proper backup of all system files.
Of course the only way to be sure is to do a test !!
The Docs with ArcServe should also have disaster recovery instructions.
I would read these carefully !
I hope this helps !

Hello to all.
I am proving your suggestions of repair disk and neither I have not been lucky, first that I don't have left clear that option has to catch of these:
- Inspect registry files
- Inspect startup environment
- Verify windows Nt system files
- Inspect boot sector
Proving that of Verify is that it has begun to copy from the cd of NT and now it no longer starts up!!!.
I find incredible that an utility doesn't exist to make a copy of security of alone the users.

Verify NT system files, only comapres the original installed DLL and other files against the ones on your drive.
If I remember correctly, it does not do any data verification, and if you have updated to SP6, the the files have changed.
I hope this helps !

Hi , I found the solution but your solution is not the best because with only rdisk the SAM ist not the last , I must use Rdisk /s.
When the server are running is not possible restore a backup SAM , because that , the best solution ist boot the sistem with a boot W98 disk and an utilities for acces in ntfs partitions and replace the SAM with the backup SAM.
Its run perfect.
Thanks.
