SBS 2011 - Slight disaster with DNS and Backups (server and client computer)

Need someone to give a quote on fixing up a SBS 2011 Essentials install. We had a power surge that seemed to have toasted a drive that has since been replaced but in the process it seems there are now DNS issues, gpupdate fails and of utmost importance is the server backups seem to take forever and the client backups no longer work with it saying the service isn't started. I have dumped the server backup catalogue and the client computer backups in hopes that it was corrupt and this may have solved it but no luck. I think the server backup will run (albiet slowly) however the client backups won't.

Yes I'm hoping as much. If you had more details do you think you could diagnose it?
Quite possibly.  I'm more than happy to try.
