    WHS 2011 OS C drive and data D drive on HDD0.  Drive Bender spanned D drive to HDD1.  Every night I automatically backed up a Client Machine Laptop. The Laptop broke on the exact same day my WHS HDD0 catastropically failed.  I sent the HDD0 to a recovery service and they were able to recover 99.99% of the data.  They returned my data on a large USB flash drive. 

    I have located a folder structure in the recovered set which is named with a GUID, then a sub folder named ServerFolders which contains the Client Computer Backups.  There are 124 .dat files along with a ConsistancyInfo.cc, configdat files, globalclusterlatest.4096 and control.4096.dat file. 

    My question...  Can I reinstall WHS on a new drive, and then copy the Client Computer Backups into the new installation and recover some of the files from my Client Backups?  Is there anytihng else I need to do?

    I read one forum topic that mentioned the importance of restarting WHS after copying the Client Backup files to allow WHS to index them.

    Thanks to all in advance.
