Are you going from a single processor/single core to the dual core in the Dell? &nbsp;If so, you may be having a problem with switching to the different HAL needed for the dual core Dell.

Ok, I'm trying to restore an SBS 2003 server installation to different hardware using Acronis TI Server 9.1 w/Universal Restore and it's not working out for me. I'm going from a Gateway E-9510 to a Dell PE 2950. I restored the image to the new hardware, did a repair install of windows (loaded my 3rd party drivers) - and now it's just in a restart loop. I get to the windows screen and it auto-restarts. What's the deal? Help is appreciated. <br />
<br />
- Note: this is my first attempt at doing this. So it's quite possible I could have missed something. <br />
<br />
Thanks.

Restore to diff. hardware - Acronis TI Server help

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
