My computer caught fire…
I was advised to repost this topic here by Symantec... All I have got left is the external drive, (USB, 1000 GB), containing the backups. I wasn't unduly worried – after all this is why you have backups isn't it? The computer was fairly old and had two IDE drives with Windows 7 and a matching motherboard with an older type of RAM. The backup was made with Ghost 12 – I had no idea that it had become obsolete. I bought a new computer with two SATA drives. Apparently IDE drives and matching motherboards boards are no longer made. I booted from the SRD but the machine couldn't see the USB drive. I installed Windows 7 and then it could see the USB drive when I booted from the SRD. I told to restore the C drive after which it wouldn't boot from the drive. I subsequently chatted with Symantec support who told me that if I installed the appropriate Ghost application on the new machine it would be possible to restore from my USB drive. The agent insisted that in the whole of Symantec there was not a single remaining copy of any version of ghost… I managed to find a "Try and buy" copy of Ghost 15. Will this work? If not what can I do? The chatline agent did not know the answer to these questions and referred me to this forum. David
26 hours remaining
Hello all. I've been using SSR 2013 for years to do a nightly image of my Win 7 machine to a secondary internal hard drive. It usually takes a little over an hour for a full image. The other day I woke up in the morning, and the backup was still running, with an estimate of 23-26 hours. After rebooting and trying again with the same results, I uninstalled SSR and installed VSR 21, and started a backup to a new destination folder. Same thing, 26 hours remaining. The primary drive is a Samsung EVO 1 TB SSD. Backup is a Seagate 6 TB HDD (3 months old). No performance problems otherwise. I recently installed OneDrive which I haven't used before, so I thought that might be related, but I've since removed it. Has anyone seen anything like this?Veritas System Recovery Installation

What does "Maintenance window" for installing agent mean ?
Hi everyone I'm trying to deploy backup system for my network, using old but valid license for Veritas System Recovery 16 I've installed management solution and managed to deploy test zone - it's working fine, but I used option "Once ASAP" for installing software. There is also option called "Once at next maintenance window" - and it should be much more useful, but how does in work ? I've set a policy using this option - and nothing happens, not on next client reboot, not on next windows update reboot - just nothing. My test client runs Windows 7 Pro, joined AD 2012r2 So - what does this "maintenance window" mean ?SSR 2013 R2 update SQL 2012 sp2 to SP3 or update SSR 2013 r2 to VSR 2016

To upgrade System Recovery 2013 R2 to System Recovery 16 or 18. Which do I need?
I use Veritas System Recovery Desktop Edition 2013 R2 to backup a desktop & laptop. They are independent computers. There is no network or server. My license expired. Do I need to upgrade to VSR 16 or would VSR 18 be a better choice? Please help.how to restore in VSR 16?
I did a manual back up by booting on our custom vsrd and can backup just fine. I know on other test machines, I imaged up, then down.. and it worked. I implemented it and now someone was having an issue. I have replicated it and clueless of why.. so.. I imaged a machine up then powered it off. Replaced hard drive Bootup and imaged down I cannot for the life of me get it to boot. Keeps saying no boot device, etc... So I am missing a step. There are 3 partitions... a 35mb dell utility, 7gb recovery and 34gb C: (labeled f in file) I followed the user doc... so i added all 3 back in but where im lost is which do I set as active? do I say restore disk signatures, make bootable, etc. I have all 3 partitions listed and look ok. This is NOT UEFI.. and new disk was set to MGT or whatever it is (sorry been doing this for 10h and im beat) We have a critical system I need to get this working on and the drive is dying.
