restore system state from unc file share

[James_Rudley]

Hi, I am trying to restore the system state held on a nas (\\server\monthly\ and when i boot the DC up in restore mode and start veritas backup exec on the DC, I am getting authentication errors when trying to restore from the unc file share. Has anyone found a way around this?

Hi,

What is the exact error during restore? What is the OS on NAS?

Are you performing IDR or manual DR?

Also note that redirected restore of System State is not supported!

The error is a credentials error. Cannot authenticate. The nas is running windows storage server 2003 R2

I am performaning a manual DR

and is it possible to just copy over the folder, and make backup exec use that folder local on the computer?

And is this really being redirected? I am just using the backup stored on a share to restore to its original place.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Please let us know the exact error message!

Have you changed the BE services credential to local system account.

Please refer this technote and try the restore:
