A bare metal restore starts by wiping the system drive and clean installing the OS, not by massaging the existing installation so the older disks will overwrite it. And I'd never attempt a recovery with BE. I used to use BE, and when I wanted a recoverable backup I used NTbackup. That's all moot though.

Wise to use HDD as offline storage?
An image backup would backup and restore everything, but when the system boots it builds a new hardware device list, compares it to the hardware device list saved on the hard drive, and determines whether the new hardware hash differs from the one at the last activation sufficiently to require reactivation.

Back up and restore utility will not restore back up
What I meant to say here was that I opened my .pst file and then moved my message folders into the default Personal Folder, the one that you cannot delete. consider running a win system file checker (scannow) and, assuming you didnt backup the registry fixes in order that you could undo, try a system restore.

Disappearing Restore Points. Help?
