Interview Question in Sharepoint Installation


 

Question :: Shareportal Server 2003 installation

Hi, I have Sharepoint Portal 2003 Server installed on one server, about 1 GB DB. I want to test uninstalling it (I have it replicated on a test box), of course creating a backup with the backup data utility and then reinstalling and restoring it. I uninstalled it completely, reinstalled it and went into the backup/restore utility however I am at a standstill because I get all these errors like there is no portal site found to restore it to. Is what I'm doing possible, and if so what are the right steps (having the backup SP files of course) in restoring a portal site completely from a fresh install of the SP Portal 2003 server program on that replicated {Replicated name/static ip and everything} machine?
