We've been wrestling with recoveries of Windows 2k8 servers that have EFI partitions. We are finally able to back them up, but we are unable to perform a full recovery. We're using nearly identical hardware for the recovery server and the restores all complete, but the server won't boot afterwards. We've followed the instructions in the technote for recovering Windows 2008 servers without BMR, but no dice.
The client is at NBU 6.5.6 with the EEB installed to allow it to back up the EFI partition. We've run 'w2koption -backup -efi_boot_enabled 1' on the client, and we get status 0 backups for all streams for the client. Does anyone have any experience with performing system recoveries of this type? We routinely do test recoveries of other servers, but the ones with EFI have us scratching our heads. Is it possible to do a physical to virtual restore of a server with an EFI partition? My gut tells me that the answer to that question is "no". -- Jack Forester, Jr. Sr. Data Protection Administrator Global Technology Services - AHS Mylan, Inc. 5005 Greenbag Road Morgantown, WV 26501 jack.fores...@mylan.com Phone: +1.304.554.6039 Cell: +1.412.805.5313 ============================================================================== CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged, proprietary and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee.
