Hi Bob,
The SBS Backup Wizard should back up everything. It sounds like you didn't
have to do a 'complete' restore of your server (didn't need to restore the
system partition). The default location for the 'redirect folder' for each
user is: <SBSservername>\Users\Username\My Documents. Is it possible that
you changed this to a different location and then hid that folder by placing
a '$' after the name? If so, you may need to change the folder view on the
server to reveal the hidden folder. A little more info about how you did
restore (what procedure you used) might be helpful.
