Posted October 2, 200717 yr I’m currently in the process of testing a Disaster Recovery Plan. The plan consists of total loss of hardware, and restoring recent backups to different hardware. I have a server setup with similar volume info and the same version and release of server 2003 std. sp1. I receive the following error message while running NT Backup(Restore Wizard), The backup file contains unrecognized data and cannot be used. I’m trying to restore a backup from the Hypothetically (lost server) to the new (New Hardware) Server. I’ve run the backup on the current server and tried to restore to the new server, but keep getting the same error message. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, any reference to articles on restoring Windows Server 2003 to different hardware would be appreciated. Also, the current server is a DC, and DHCP server.
