That's right. TCP/IP information and NIC teaming configuration will not be
restored. You have to reconfigure these manually before or after the
restore. I'd recommend before.

This because Backup Exec follows the rule lays down by the KeysNotToRestore
registry subkey.
This is located here
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BackupRestor e\KeysNotToRestore.

I have found that you need to keep your Systems Documentation up to date so
that after the restore you known exactly how that particulare was configured
Network-wise.

Once the system is rebuilt, before beginning the restore, I would keep it in
a workgroup and reconfigure TCP/IP as it was before, including NIC Teaming.
Then restore.

I hope this helps a little
