What I need to know is - in the event that I'm restoring to new hardware because my original scsi hard drives all died, would ASR detect the USB drive? So that I could access the backup file on it during the restore.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

 So in a regular ASR restore, where does the backup file reside? On the drive it's being restored to?<br />
