This may be a question for Windows Backup; however, I feel it relates to the Hyper-V more. I recent migrated over all of our company's servers to virtualized instances running on a single 2012r2 standard host. Using the build-in Windows Server Backup utility, I created a backup-set for all four servers (1 SBS 2011 server and three supporting application servers). At one point later on, I needed to restore the SBS 2011 server from backup after a failed Exchange rollup. I restored the server to an alternate location and all is now running fine.
When I went to review my backup sets after running the Exchange Best Practice analyzer and having it report that there has not been a database backup in weeks. Windows Server Backup reports the newly restored SBS2011 server as being "offline"; however, it is not. It is running as it should and accepting requests as usual. I attempted to delete the backup schedule and recreate the set; however, Server Backup still thinks this server is "offline". This has me a bit worried as now either my Exchange is not recognizing that it is being backed up and transaction logs are not being written back or, worse yet, my virtual server is actually not being backed up at all.
Can anyone assist me with this issue?
