You need to have a complete backup of system state and the system drive. You need to have the same number of NICs, the same video card, HAL, kernel, and number of processors. There has been some testing with restoring from different vendors, from Compaq computers to Dell computers or vice versa, and they have gotten that to work on occasion, but that is not a guarantee, it's not a guarantee that it's going to work. So to improve your chances you want to have as close to the identical hardware as you can get your hands on. Sometimes that can be difficult because hardware changes quite rapidly.<br>
