We are running SBS 2003 with a CA Bright Store internal Tape back up. I am trying to restore from back up on a new server on a different network, is this possible?

I am trying to restore our current SBS 2003 onto a new server from tape over the network. One problem is that the two SBS cannot be on the same network due to the one DC that SBS 2003 recognizes. I have the second SBS set up on domain; test.<domain for original SBS>.local. When I try to restore from the backup I continue to get an error as follows:

BrightStor ARCserve Backup -- Restore


E3150
Unable to connect to network drive. (DRIVE=\\TESTSRV\C$, EC=Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.)

Restore Operation Failed.
To start off I was going to just try to restore the C: drive. I cannot see how the login can have a bad user name or password, for the test server I am just using the Administrator account. And have retyped it and retried it many times. This is purely for testing purposes; I have never restored from tape before and would like to try it a few times before the day comes when I might have to. The test server does not have a tape drive so the only was for me to try this is over the network.

Arcserve uses its own account for restores - check that the name & password are set up correctly for that account.

You might also want to check that the Arcserve services (go into Computer Management -> Services and Applications -> Services have the correct login details for the target machine.
Try a fresh install of SBS and CA Arcserve on the new machine.

Then do a restore from tape over the top of the new installation.

It appears to have been a password issue. I reinstalled the OS on the test server without Brightstor on it and it appears to be working. Before I give you your points I have a question with reference to the back up of the registry and the system state. If I am to restore each drive on the server, am I required to also restore the registry and system state individually or will this be accomplished when I restore the drive with the system files on it? I assume the registry and system state backups are for if you just need to recover those two without recovering the whole partition.
