does SR 2013 R2 support recovery to different hardware for windows 2003?
hi there, in summary, my only question is this: does "symantec system recovery 2013 r2" support the recovery to different hardware for windows 2003 r2 machines? please read the details to understand why i'm asking. thank you! i'm completely new to "system recovery 2013 r2", and i'm attempting to evaluate its use in restoring windows servers to different hardware. my first test case is using windows 2003 r2. i spoke yesterday with a sales engineer, and he said i would need to install the server version of sr 2013 r2 on the source machine, and then create the sr boot disk. i went to install sr, and got the following warning: "This system does not meet the requirements to install the Symantec System Recovery Disk creation utility. The recovery disk creation utility feature is supported on Windows 2008 (and later) and Windows 7 (and later). Note: Symantec does not ship the recovery disk with System Recorery 2013 R2 and hence includes a utility in the installer to create a recovery environment." the sales documentation and the compatibilty list on the symantec website specifically lists windows 2003 r2 as supported, and the engineer i spoke with yesterday also said that it would work. so i went to look for the downloadable .iso instead, but i found a tech article (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH225888) that specifically states that downloadable iso's are no longer provided. any guidance would be appreciated. --aaron

Symantec Recovery Server 2013
I have been going crazy on this one. I am doing a Restore anywhere from a Dell Raid Server over to a Desktop. When it restores and starts to ask for driver I keep getting asked for the Western Digial Disk driver. There are no drivers. I have even changed thr PC and added a Sata Controller and I am still getting the same thing. I have tried deleting all the drivers, running Windows Serup and still the same thing. Has anyone else seen this error and if so what is the work around??? Thank you.
SSR 2013 BSOD When using restore anywhere on HP 8470p
I'm trying to use the restore anywhere function in SSR 2013 to recover my hard drive from an HP 8000 desktop to a HP 8470p laptop. The recovery seems to complete but when Windows boots up it crashes and loops with the following error code Stop: 0x000000BE (0x80504638,0x00504163,0xB9CEF400,0x0000000B) I can restore the image to an HP 6930p, 8440p, and 8460p with no problems at all! I have also tried all options in the restore anywhere feature. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
SSR 2011 - Restoring Windows 7 Pro 64-bit BSOD
All, I have multiple clients running System Recovery 2010 on their servers to NAS. Backups complete without issue. We recently had to restore to similar hardware which was a breeze. I have downloaded System Recovery 2011 Trial to a Dell Latitude Z. Grabbed the hot image to USB and booted the new laptop, Dell XPS 14Z, with the SRD and attempted a Restore Anywhere job. I tried this multiple times, about 8 to be exact all with different configurations and options changed or chosen. My problem is, I cannot recommend these products anymore unless I am 100% sure that a server, let alone laptop, can be restored to dissimilar hardware. Please help and advise how I can get this functioning. I am including a screenshot of the Latitude Z's drives from Disk Management. Please guide me though this or I will be in the dog house for recommending SSR. Thank you, VinnySystem recovery, dissimilar hardware, 3 partitions on original hard drive
I am using a trial version of system recovery 2011. I have created a restore point of my original hard drive. The drive has 3 partitions 25 gb each. When I created the restore point it created 3 separate restores, 1 for each drive (C,D,E). I would like to run the restore on a new drive that is 80 GB, but when it asks for the restore point to use I can only select 1(C) not all 3 (C,D,E)and the resize option is grayed out so I can not shrink the drive. How can I get all 3 partitions back in the same size partitions?
SSR 2011 - can not restore running system
We have a Hyper-V server HOSTA (Windows Server 2008 Std SP2 x64) with 2 guests SBSA (Windows SBS 2008 SP2 x64) and APPSA (Windows Server 2008 Std SP2 x64). Both SBSA and APPSA have Symantec System Recovery 2011 (Build 10.0.0.39952) installed, and backup to share on HOSTA and Offsite to a FTP location. The Offsite location has HOSTB (Windows Server 2008 R2 Std SP1 x64) with Symantec System Recovery 2011 (Build 10.0.0.39952) installed. When the Restoring SBSA or APPSA it fails every time in all ways we have tried: Convert sv2i to Hyper-V VHD fail: Converts ok, then on start of VM guest runs the mini setup, then updates, then randomly reboots. after that we receive the stop 7b error, But the data on the .vhd can be mounted and accessed. Create Hyper-V guest and use System Recovery Disk fails: Towards the end of the restore a "Recover My Computer Wizard" box pops up with the message: Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly. CHECK failed, Can::ReadFileFrameReal: .\Can.cpp(826): Read Failure. Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly.

Convert to VMware Server Disk fails: The convert stops at 99% with 3 seconds to go (With or without "Run Windows Mini-Setup") Convert s2vi using VMware Player 3.1 fails: Very slow reading the s2vi file and then I enter the password and straight away I get the error from VMware Player: Failed to open virtual machine: Failed to query source for information. We have tried a One off recovery point on-site and taken it to the off-site location and receive the same issues. A convert to vhd of APPSA on APPSA: converts ok, moved to HOSTA. on boot of the restored guest APPSA we receive: Windows Boot Manager Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click “Next.” 3. click “Repair your computer.” If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. status: Oxc000000f Info: Windows failed to load because the NL5 data is missing, or corrupt. Please can someone suggest any ideas
