I have a Win2000 server dedicated to running Listserv Classic.  It will be
backed up using Tivoli Storage Manager to the IBM Enterprise Server across
the network.  In order to reduce the amount of data backed up and time
required both to backup and recover a failed system, what is the best
strategy?

Should I just backup the \Listserv directory and the web archive
directory?  Will this allow me to reinstall the OS, TSM and Listserv and
then restore the data to be fully back up and running?  Is there anything
else that would need to be done to get back online?

Should I backup up the entire system?  To recover, I would have to install
Windows and TSM to directories with new names, restore the whole system,
including Windows and TSM to original directories, and then reboot.  That
*should* take  me back to a working system.
