Best restore method (Help! :( )
Hi Guys,
We recently got hit by a false positive on our anti virus software (not to mention any names) and it started to rename some of the Windows and .net system files on some of our servers. Lucky that the fix was just to rename the files back to the original names which we have done but one of our SQL servers was not fixed by this process.
Now my questions is what is the best way to recover it? I thought I could BMR the server to a different one keeping the existing one incase we needed it for any reason but backups have taken place since the corruption of the Windows file system so it will restore the corruption. Is there anyway you can trick BMR in to thinking that an older Image is the latest image for restore? could i just expire all the images until i get to the image I require?
Also would a straight system state and C drive restore on the existing server work not using the BMR enviroment?
The SQL server is a windows 2003 sp2 sql server with sql 2005 if it makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for you help!

Some interesting TN's if not seen them:
HOWTO: Use NetBackup to perform a restore for a total and complete recovery of Windows XP, 2000 or 2003 client(s) that includes C: (and other system) drive(s), Shadow Copy Component, and/or System_State from a reliable full Windows-NT backup without IDR or BMR in the event of a Disaster (or need to fall back to a known working state).
HOWTO: Use NetBackup to perform a restore for a total and complete recovery of Windows 2008 client(s) that includes C: (and other system) drive(s), Shadow Copy Component, and System_State from a reliable full Windows-NT backup without IDR or BMR in the event of a Disaster (or need to fall back to a known working state).
Tip: Get overview/document your NBU environment. Run 'nbsu' and review the output.
