Re: Process1_initialization failed

When you loaded the OS (before the restore), did you bring it back up to the
same Windows 2003 service pack it was originally at before the crash?

Yes, I think it might Andrea. The restore doc (link) that you quoted
appears to be incomplete (or an older version of the current backup
document). Try this one:

In the event of a system failure, use the following procedures to restore
your server from the latest successful backup. You must perform the
following tasks in order:
1. Install Windows SBS and apply any service pack for the Windows Server®
2003 operating system that existed on your server when you ran the last
backup.

Thank you so much. I installed the service packs and restored that backup.
It worked perfectly. Again thank you very much and have a wonderful weekend.
