Marcin,

Curious, doesn't adrestore use LDP to find tombstoned objects?

Ace

Ace - do you mean whether both of them rely on the same set of APIs? That's
probably a good question for Mark Russinovich...

cheers,
Marcin

Hmm, that is a good point. I wonder if it's using the APIs or simply
directly using LDP in the compiled utility. Good point. I was just curious.

And I agree, this is definitely a Mark Russinovich question. :-)

Ace

Using LDP you can look into the container as Marcin's link providess.
