I am using server backup for several 2008 & 2012 servers.
the backups are scheduled to run daily to a backup formatted USB external drive. the drives are in a hard drive caddy, meaning that the drive can ejected and replaced with another naked drive. the backups are full backups and when queried returns full backup capability.
when doing a test to do a restore, i have booted from the install dvd and picked repair, the gui utility does not find the image.
what am i doing wrong ?
also, had a 2008 server crash(vhd) and AD got corrupted. did a boot using the repair AD and logged in as the local admin(was still unable to logon as the domain admin). used wbadmin to get versions. saw that system state was availble to restore. issued wbadmin to restore systemstate. returned msg that could not find.
booted a 2 year old vhd, the current scheduled backup disk was not listed in the backup disk list. is it still possible to use from command line or gui ?
thanks all
