I need to image a BIOS computer to UEFI
I can't seem to find a guide or any help. How can I image a bios computer and then restore it to a uefi computer. I tried for a week with absolutely no success. System Recovery can put the image on the computer but it will never boot and if I boot from the Windows 7 CD it will not see the operating system so I can not do any repairs. I saw on symantec site for Ghost that "This issue occurs when you deploy an image of Windows 12 BIOS type client computer on a UEFI enabled client computer.You must add the following command in theCommand-line optionsfield of theCommand -linetab of theAdvancedoption of theDeploy Imagetask: -cesp" This does not apply to System Recovery as far as I can tell. I do not see a place to put in any commands. Since Ghost isbeing discontinued what can I do?
Hot Swap - Lost disk format?
In my desktop PC I have an hot swap adapter. This allow me to have two or more hard drives with the same drive letter say "E:" Most of the time I use the hot swap for different groups of files (Movies on one drive, Books on a different) and the drive letter is "E:" which is the default letter that is assigned by the PC since it is the need letter not use by my internal hard drives. I back up my OS and Data with SSR to my 3 Tb internal hard drive that is assigned the letter "V:". Over the last few days, my V drive has been showing signs of getting "sick". So I purchased a second 3Tb drive. I removed the V drive from inside the computer. I placed my new 3Tb drive in the hot swap adapter and change the label to "Second BackUP- V2" and assigned it the drive letter "V:". It was my intention to rotate the two V drive as one does external USB drives. Since drives in the hot swap adapter are not on the USB port, the USB option is grayed out when I creat a new backup job. The SSR backup appeared to be running OK until at the very end, I receive an error. When I looked at the new V2 drive with Windows Disk Manager it was (1) unlable and (2) looked as if it was un-formated. I then put the original V drive in the hot swap adapter to make a backup before I attempted to find out what was wrong. SSR could not find the original V drive. When I looked at the original V drive it also appears to have "lost its format". Before, I attempt to take any other action, I am asking for your help. It appears that SSR does not like two disk with the same name. I did notice that SSR "identify" each backup location. Could this be the problem? Any quick solution to restore my backup copies without using a file recover software?
Symantec System Recovery 2013 r2 sp4 & Server 2008 r2 BSOD
I am backing up a Server 2008 R2 with Symantec System Recovery 2013 r2 sp4. The image backups fine. When we do a restore we get one of the following errors BSOD stop 7b, No operating system found, etc I have found this article on Microsoft and Veritas which talks about the C:\Boot files being located inside the image file. https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.TECH125582 Within this article it talks about how it is backed up with the image of course, but when it is restored it is written twice: once by ASR Writer and then again by the image file with the end result of the GUID not matching. Here is Microsoft's explanation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2261423 So then if the C:\Boot is located in the image file to exclude it when you do a restore of the image. Unfortunately I have no luck in trying to find out how to exclude this on a restore or even during a disk-based backup. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? I have and currently working with Veritas but do not have a resolution. Please let me know. Thank you.Different Backup Job Per Remote PC
I'm using SSR 2013 and have 2 remote PCs that I want to backup at different intervals. PC_A needs to be backed up every Thursday at 12:00 PC_B needs to be backed up daily at 12:00 I create backup jobs for both of these, but these seems to be shared between the 2 PCs. If I select PC_A and only enable the Thursday backup, then that configuration is applied to PC_B as well. How can I configure the PCs to use different backup jobs?
Create a Recovery USB Stick only for BIOS Systems
Hello, can i only create a Recovery USB Stick for BIOS Systems? The Windows 7 is installed in the BIOS Version. The Image is also a BIOS Version.When i boot with the Recovery USB Stick, it always boots in EFI Mode. I know, i can change in the boot manager to boot in bios mode, but i want this do. when i forget to change the boot option then ssr says, BIOS Images cannot restore on EFI System, because the first boot is the SSR EFI USB Stick. Can i change this? kind regards Blacksun

Symantic System Recovery 2013 R2 has suddenly stopped working on Small Business Server 2008 I have been using theSymantic System Recovery 2013 R2 for several months on our SBS 2008 and have not had any problems.

I am seeing the following error in the event log: Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of (C:\), DATA (D:\), EXCHANGE (F:\). Error E4F3000F: Unexpected VSS writer error. Check the application event log for writer specific error. Failed VSS writers: BITS Writer. (UMI:V-281-3215-6071) Details: Source: Symantec System Recovery The program is working fine on my other server which runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Can you please advise me as to how I can resolve this issue?
