RE: iSeries more stable than NT? Who says?

Don,

Umm, sorry but a backup that won't restore isn't a "good full system state
backup." What backup software were you using? Do you attempt restores in the
lab?

Dave,

I just had a major multi user win-2k pro desktop nuke it's registry... we
had several GOOD FULL SYSTEM STATE backups.  NONE, and I mean NONE would
restore...we could not get the registry or the user profile info to
restore correctly...we were in RELOAD...and I hear this is NOT an
anomoly.....

I was really pissed!

Yeah, it's alot more stable than 95 and 98...but...it still locks up.
