converting backup sets to virtual on remote hyper-v server issue

RonnieJ
Level 2

Hi,

Just upgraded to Backupexec 2012. Chose to upgrade because of virtualization capability of the product that I can use specially in DR. Problem is when doing a B2V to a remote Hyper-v server it fails. The job runs for some time and always hangs after processing 20.6 GB of data. Any help is appreciated.

Does that E:\ drive exist and it isn't an RDM disk is it?

E:\ drive is present in the physical server and not RDM disk (I am using Windows 2008R2 Hyper-V server). I tried to convert to VM using the c drive and system state under selections but the result is still the same.

My environment

domain controller/ BE server 2012 (windows 2008 Std R2)

Hyper -V server (windows 2008 Std R2) - installed remote agent for windows

First I was not sure where to get vmguest.iso since it can't be found in BE server. What I did is copied vmware.iso from c:\windows\system32 from remote Hyper V and copied it to c:\windows\system32\ of BE server. Is this ok? Hyper-V server is using basic disks. Not sure what else I am missing.

Create a test VM with only a C: drive, back it up and try the B2V to see what happens.

Conversion to Hyper-V is supported.

I would suggest that you open a support case with Symantec for them to take a look at this problem.
