restorting DFSR data

[manatee]

NBU 7.6.0.3

if i made a DFS backup of drive G:, and i want to restore the backup to another server, same drive letter, must the destination server also have DFS installed? or will it restore to drive G: like an ordinary restore?

to add, in the activity monitor it shows it is restoring files but when i go to drive G:\DFSR-Restore folder, i don't see anything.

the redirected path is G:\DFSR-Restore.

i'm getting this errors:

2015 19:05:48 - Warning bpbrm (pid=13303) from client fs02: WRN - error writing file: g:\DFSR-Restore\DfsrReplicatedFolders\G\Aljomaih Consumer Div\ABC\Finance\CPM\Cpm\2015\Forecast\01_Jan\5. Opex\Total People Costs Fcst.xlsx (err=WIN32 112: There is not enough space on the disk. )

but both source and destination drives are 500GB in size. the destination is still empty.

"(err=WIN32 112: There is not enough space on the disk. )" This is a Windows error. Not NBU. Nothing we can do in NBU to make it go away.

this sounds silly.

it was restoring to another server. not the intended one. my bad.

Most of us have done that at least once. Two of the best attributes of any admin are... The first is being able to spot one's own mistakes, and the second is being honest to your colleagues and management team about it (when you have to). :p And we all keep on learning.
