WS "A" - Win XP SP2. Successfully backed up by WHS V1 dialy for months. WS "A"'s C: drive is functional. Can boot, can run apps, etc. I have remote access to WS "A" via third-party RADMIN. WS "A" got hit by Trojans
which were quarantined by industrial-strength malware scanner (VIPRE) but WS "A" isn't running quite right; every now and then it will BSOD.
My recovery tactic:
1. Run F.A.S.T declaring that WS "A" is the old computer
2. Do WHS restore of C: using the daily backup just prior to the first Trojan detection
3. Run F.A.S.T declaring that WS "A" is the new computer
I'd like to do all of this via the remote connection, which obviously precludes using the Recovery CD. I know I can do steps 1. and 3. remotely. It's step 2. I'm unsure about.
While connected to WS "A" remotely, I can log into the WHS Console and select Backup and point to the backup archive I want, and indicate that I want to do a restore. What I get at WS "A" is a drive (Z:) showing me all folders and files
of the C: drive as they existed at the time of the backup. This is how things are supposed to work, and this allows for individual restoration of folders/files via Copy/Paste. This I understand.
My uncertainty is attempting to Copy/Paste the entire content of Z: to C:.
Something tells me this won't fly.
Who would care to comment, and tell me NO, don't try it... My intuition needs to be confirmed from an outside source.
Thanks
