<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
An XP desktop computer hard drive died. &nbsp;The latest Ghost backup for it was 3 months old, so we have restored to that time period.<br />
<br />
The My Documents folder had been set up to sync with the Server 2003 system.<br />
<br />
My question is this: &nbsp;Is there anything special I need to do to ensure getting the latest synchronized files from the server and ensure that the 3-month-old files don't accidentally override the newer Server 2003 files? &nbsp;I'm hoping I just need to connect the re-built desktop to the server and the latest files will magically update from the Server.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Windows Server 2003 My Documents syncronization to computer from 3-month old backup

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).
