IDR failing.

I'm restoring a windows 2003 box using the remote IDR method. However, I'm getting: Error loading the system hive of the restored system. Error Code: 0x3 after the restore. All indications are that the restore is successful. I'm restoring the C drive and shadow copy/system state. I'm using the latest patched version of 11d. Just as an aside, the process worked in 10d. Below is a bit of the wizard.log:

: The worker thread ended
: Log: Entering DissimilarSystem::Initialize()
: Log: Entering DissimilarSystem::LoadRegistryHives()
: RegLoadKey failed with Error Code: 0x3
: DissimilarSystem::Initialize() - Return Code:
: Error loading the system hive of the restored system. Error Code: 0x3
11.x and Earlier

    Hi Adam,

    Are the HDD SCSI attached ?

    Was the backup taken successful and ISO creation ?


    Update us on the same



    Thank you

    Hi Adam,

    1. Take the IDR license you bought back to your vendor
    2. Demand your money back
    3. Do the restore manually

    Let us know if you still have any issues.

    Go get 'em Josh.

    Once again on the weekend my Arcserve backups all went without a hitch. My most crucial Head Office backup required me to intervene once to get it started and again to restart the job engine when it stopped.

    What a great thing to do at 2.00 am when I get home from the New Years fireworks display.

    Tde HD is scsi and attached. The restore is written to the hard drive. The ISO was created after the backup was run.
