    Hello,

    Here is my finding.

    Error:

    1 DEBUG nbutils.cpp:RestoreEFIPartition() EFI partition fails to restore, rc=5
    2 DEBUG nbutils.cpp:NBURestoreAllSystemFilesUsingShadowCopy() Failed to restore the EFI Partition, errorcode=5
    2 DEBUG CWindowsRestoreStrategy.cpp:restoreFiles() Could not restore system state, rc=5

     

    Cause:

    The original machine have EFI partition.

    Solution:

    The physical to virtual server restore consider as dissimilar restore (DSR). The DSR is not supported for EFI partition. BMR support only same system restore (Self Restore) for EFI partition.

     

    Regards,
