hi mobasha,

tnx for the reply, it was just to make sure.

the other system databases (temp - model- msdb) does the need for a backup exsists here also.?

For disaster recovery do we use a Ghost backup of the system C:\ drive (OS, SqlServer, other soft)

This one is tested and made it possible to restore to a system state in 5'

But then it could also be wise to put the master database on another drive because it would be overwritten by a ghost restore since its on the same drive.
