Windows 10? New software update for Symantec System Recovery 2013 Desktop Edition?
I am currently using Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 with my Windows 8.1 based desktop PC. I am planning on upgrading to Windows 10 on July 29, 2015 when Windows 10 is released. I've been relying on Norton Ghost and SSR 2013 to do full system images for years. Is Symantec currently working on software for Symantec System Recovery 2013 so that it will be compatible with Windows 10? Will Symantec be offering a FREE update patch to Symantec System Recovery 2013 that will make it compatible with Windows 10? Will it be called Symantec System Recovery 2013 R3 or something else like Symantec System Recovery 2015? I would like to see SSR 2013 tested and certified as compatible with Windows 10 as soon as possible. I would prefer not to have switch to another vendor's system image backup software like Acronis. Their website is saying that you can get a free software update for Windows 10 compatibility for Acronis True Image 2015.34KViews12likes385CommentsSSR 2011 Symantec System Recovery Disk ISO download
I have SSR 2011 installed and would like to create a System Recovery disk, but i don't have the ISO. I know there's a download for that and I've seen a location for a 2013 version, but I assume I need a 2011 version. Where can I download one? Thanks, Rob13KViews1like15CommentsA guide to booting HP Elitepad to recovery environment using USB flash drive
Hi, Back in October 2013, a support case that I opened with Symantec in relation to failure of the Elitepad 900 G1 to boot into the Symantec recovery environment from a USB or DVD drive etc, was ultimately closed with no resolution due to a compatibility issue or similar. I recently decided to pick this up again and am pleased to report a successful outcome but not without issues. Here's what I did: > Note: I have SP2 installed on my SSR client (Ver. 11.0.2.49853)but this is immaterial to process described below. > Grabbed a copy of the latest 32bit recovery ISO (SSR11.0.2.49853_AllWin_English_SrdOnly.iso)from here:https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/offer?a_id=88724 > Obtained and formatted thumb drive as FAT32 (I did not have to bother with the diskpart procedure that is referenced as required from several sources) > Used WinZip to extract the contents of the ISO to the USB flash drive. Note: DO NOT use the Customer Recovery Disk wizard in the SSR 2013 client. > That's it, plugged it in to one of 2 x USB sockets available on the Elitepad productivity jacket. (Note: if you don't have a jacket you might be in trouble having access to only 1 x USB port. > A USB keyboard needs to be connected to the 2nd USB port as there is no touch panel functionality in the recovery environment. Note that If you wish to use a USB Ext Drive to store the recovery points, the USB Boot Flash drive can be safely removed once the environment is entered, allowing you to connect your USB Ext Drive. > In Elitepad Advanced Startup options, selected USB EFI Boot Device option. > Elitepad booted into recovery environment with navigation by keyboard thereafter (Some useful keyboard shortcuts are:- TAB to cycle the focus between objects; enter to select; [space] to check/uncheck a checkbox; right arrow key to expand a file folder to show subfolder) > Ripped a Windows 8.1 image from one Elitepad and then restored using this image to a factory state Windows 8.0 device with no issues whatsoever, just had to re-activate Windows after the restore. So anyway, the critical step in the process described above is to use WinZip or a similar archiving utility to get the ISO contents onto the flash drive because for some bizarre reason, if you use the Symantec Custom Recovery Disk wizard to burn the ISO, this causes all of the files on the flash drive to become hidden (even with "Show Hidden Files / Folders" checked in file explorer?) with the exception of autorun.inf. The problem appears to be that the Elitepad 900 GI apparently can't see these files because it does not recognise a flash drive prepared in this manner, as a valid EFI USB boot device. It seems unlikely that the Elitepad 900 is the only tablet that might be affected by this issue. Hopefully this guide might save somebody some time at some stage.

I just installed the Service Pack 4 for Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 Desktop Edition yesterday. I was looking forward to testing a restore of a Windows 10 Professional partition from a Recovery point set. Everything installs fine for the main SSR 2013 R2 software (including SP4) but I cannot create a Symantec System Recovery Disk (USB) using the Symantec System Recovery Disk Creation Wizard because I am getting the following error messages ... Error message after choosing the TYPICAL option for the Select Recovery Disk creation option ... "You are not creating the Symantec System Recovery Disk on the latest operating system (Windows 10) that is supported by the product. You can use this recovery disk to restore only Windows 8.1/2012 Server and earlier. Do you want to continue?" I have this exact version of Windows 10 Professional: 10.0.10586 Build 10586 (I did the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1 Pro). I have this exact version of Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 Desktop Edition: 11.1.4.55331. Obviously, I want to be able to restore a Windows 10 partition from a SSR2013 Recovery point set. Not only for Windows 8.1, Windows 7, etc. Error message after choosing the ADVANCED option for the Select Recovery Disk creation option ... "You have not installed the Microsoft Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) on this computer." Then it shows the blue link again ... "Windows ADK Download and install instructions". I successfully DID install the latest Windows ADK for Windows 10 (Version 1511). I clicked the blue link to SSRHelp "Windows ADK Download and install instructions" when using the Symantec System Recovery Disc Creation Wizard. I successfully installed this software exactly as it says. I don't understand why this wizard is not detecting that I DID in fact install the Windows ADK for Windows 10 (Version 1511) software. Does anyone at Symantec have a solution to this? Is this a "known issue" for people with Windows 10 who are trying to get the new SSR2013 R2 version 11.1.4.55331 to successfully create a Symantec System Recovery Disk? Can somebody who works for Symantec notify the SSR2013 R2 software developers to work on a solution for this if they aren't already doing so?6.9KViews0likes18Comments
