Small Business Server 2008 Backup

I recently had my first experience with SBS 2008's restore process. I must say I'm impressed at how well it worked. It was a bit of a disaster recovery situation (aren't they always). I'll post more about this later, but suffice it to say in a 4 drive RAID5 system, half the drives had failed. After replacing the drives, we booted to the SBS 2008 installation media and started the restore. Within 2 hours, the server was backup as if nothing had happened. Most impressive Microsoft!
