Restore physical Windows machine in VMware using System recovery 2013
Hi, I'm new to Backup & Restore portfolio and trying to get some hands on System Recovery. I've installed a trial version of Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2 on my Windows 8.1 laptop and created a entire backup of laptop on USB hard drive in a folder named Symantec Backup. Now using this back up I want to create a Virutal machine in Vmware. Can someone guide me on this.
Symantec LiveState 2013 R2 & ESXI Free -> VM-Based and/or Cold Image Possible?
Hello, We have inherited a Server running ESXI Free and a single VM with Server 2012R2 -Recognizing the limitations inherent in the Free Edition in terms of protecting the ESXI, is at least possible to install 2013R2 w/in the Virtual Machine and successfully back it up to external storage for DR Consideration? -Model would be if total server failure at least 2012 Server can be saved and restored to different machine via V2P -Apparently VM does have standard Backup Exec on it currently that running - did not know if this would extend to 2013 R2 -Additionally to get an entire image of the machine can the entire Drive be imaged via Cold Boot with new version of SRD Thank you very muchUEFI bios & GPT disk P2V failed with SSR 2013 R2
Hi I tried to covert my physical server(X3650m4 + win2012)to virtual server(hyper-v) by SSR 2013 R2. The covert process worked,but when the virtual serverbooted, it failed. I wonder if SSR 2013 R2 support P2V for the server withUEFI bios &GPT disk. Thank you.P2V Windows 2000 machine with SCSI drive to Hyper-V
I typically use Symantec System Recovery to do P2V of older machines and had a very high success rate, but this one is getting the best of me. Clone/white box Windows 2000 SP4 1GB RAM Symbios SCSI adapter Single 36GB drive - there are bad sectors Only reason I need to keep the machine is for the old security controller software - vendor is MIA When I use SSR 8.5.7 I get what seems to be a good image, but the resulting VM won't start. It says "Inaccessible boot device". I thought SSR put in the correct drivers, but I think I have always done IDE drives in the past which might be more forgiving. Tried using SSR P2V with and without the mini setup, both yield the "Inaccessible boot device". Is there something else I can use to do a P2V? Or maybe something else I can do with SSR? I am certainly open to suggestions as I want to get rid of this machine ASAP.
