Hi
I am currently trying to use Backup Exec 2012 SP3 to backup a virtual machine with Windows Server 2012 on a VM server. We backup the Virtual machine VMDK fine but we cannot do a GRT restore. We have the windows agent installed and the permissions look fine but we still get the following error every time. V-79-57344-38725 - One or more virtual disks contain volumes that do not support Granular Recovery Technology (GRT). Granular restores cannot be performed for these volumes.
We have several other Virtual machines that run on the same vm server and these work fine but these are Server 2003/2008
Any help would be greatly appreciated

There are certain limitations for GRT restores of Server 2012 VM. See this document

Hi Stephen,
For windows server 2012 if the volume has Refs file system or its a deduplication volume then GRT is not supported.
And if the windows server 2012 is installed on a hyper-v with .vhdx virtual harddisk size greater than 2TB in size even then GRT will not work.

By repeating information that was posted earlier, you are not contributing to the discussion, but cluttering up the discussion. If everybody repeats everything then the user would have to waste his time sorting out the relevant information. Do read the previous posts properly, including any references, before posting.
