HI,

Just make sure that you have SP4 applied on both ARcserve and all the client agents\options..

Please read thru the FAQ for DR on this forum...

I'm in much the same boat, but all of our servers have been moved to Win2K SP3 and according to CA: "At this time the portion of the Disaster Recovery Option boot kit creation which prompts for a Windows 2000 CD, does not support Windows 2000 CDs which are integrated with Windows 2000 Service Pack 3." The link is here:

If you are going to use the Disaster Recovery Option, you'll have to use SP2-integrated CDs even though your system data will be at SP3 level. I'm still waiting for CA to come out with a patch, but as of yet I have heard nothing about a possible date.
