Re: ASR

Hello Tester,

From another posting:

LauraEHunterMVP:
You can still run an ASR backup without a floppy drive. Just run the complete
backup and cancel at the end when prompted for the floppy. You will have
a complete backup. The three files needed for the ASR floppy are found in
%windir%\repair named ASR.SIF, ASRPNP.SIF, and SETUP.LOG. These files can
be copied to any media for safekeeping, they will be needed for an ASR restore
(%windir% usually is c:\windows).

To my knowledge you will need a floppy drive to perform an ASR restore, I'm
not sure if there's any workaround for this.

Hope this helps.
