From: Thomas Moeller Nexoe on 20 Jan 2010 09:45 Hi. We are preparing a new server and are now testing ASR backup/recovery. The ASR backup is running fine. We are backing up to a USB drive with enough capacity and everything seems fine. When trying to test the backup and recover Windows Server 2003 R2 SD, we boot up on the CD, press f6 and then f2 to specify that we wish to load a SAS driver for the disk controller and then run a ASR recovery. Windows asks for the diskettes and loads a lot of stuff from the cd, but when windows asks for the ASR diskette the second time and actually tries to load the information for the ASR backup, it comes up with the following error: ************************************** Setup was unable to restore the configuration of your system because of the following error: The capacity of the current system disk drive is insufficient, and cannot be used to recover the partitions on the original system disk. The replacement hard disk drives must be at least as large as the disks present on the original system. ************************************** The funny thing is that we did NOT change any drives in the server. It is the complete same harddrives. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance for any input! -- Best regards, Thomas Moeller Nexoe -------------------------------------- Website: http://www.winfrastructure.dk Blog: http://www.winfrastructure.net |
