Host-level Hyper-V VM restore headaches
Hi!
I am evaluating Symantec System Recovery 2013 and backed up a Hyper-V VM from the Hyper-V host (Windows Server 2012 R2). This seems to work fine so far.
Unfortunately, the restoration of this VM caused me many headaches until I found out what was causing the problem. It looks like SSR is not able to keep the required file permissions when it restores a VM directory, i.e. all config files and VHDX files inside. This leads to the problem that Hyper-V Manger is not able to start the VM anymore because of missing permissions. Unfortunately, adding VM-specific permissions through the GUI's security tab is not possible so the command line has to be used for each file.
The only solution I found so far is this workaround: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH64331
Is there any more straightforward solution without having to use XCOPY?
Thanks in advance.

I don't believe there is any way around this unfortunately. Here is the issue:
