Perhaps but I've never had a situation with NT yet where a backup couldn't 
ix
it.  I've even had a situation where I did have to reinstall NT to get the 
tape
driver to work to do the reestore.  Restoring everything, including the
registery restored the system to normal.  Now if the backups are bad, that is 
a
different story.  I've always used Arcada's backup for NT and have never been
disappointed.
