Restore a SBS2008 server with BESR2010

Hello,

I'm testing my recovery procedure of a SBS2008 system using the product formerly known as BESR :).

It hasn't gone smoothly.

When the system boots after the restore I get a message that says "winpeshl.exe The application failed to initialize properly. Press OK.

The system reboots after I press OK.  The logon screen does come up but:

- The monitor’s resolution is wrong (drivers didn't load properly?)

- No Domain is available only a user and password (this SBS2008 is a domain controller) and my logon credentials fail.

I'm restoring to spare hard drives that I swapped in.  I have been deselecting the "Restore Anywhere" option.  Is that a mistake?  I wouldn't think so since the hardware hasn't changed (except the drives).

I can put the original hard drives back in and change the backup procedure if necessary.

I wasn't expecting a problem with this any pointers?

 

Thanks,

Frank

Can you give me a walked through of the settings you use within the SRD at the time of your last restore? Though this is a bit older, have you reviewed this link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH88206
