We have an old server that we are running Clonezilla on to do Backups. The old server was simple and didn't have Active Directory or Hyper-V installed. The Clonezilla backup is not the server edition. The old server has Windows 2008 R2.
Our new server is a failover cluster (2 nodes) using Hyper-V, and had to have Active Directory to be up to Security standards of our company. It uses live migration also. We are worried that if we use Clonezilla on the new servers that we will get caught by Active Directory upon restores from our Clonezilla Backups. Maybe the GUID will be an issue, but we're not sure. We are worried to test our Clonezilla backup/restore on the new server because we might run into an issue with using this method to restore. The new server has Windows 2008 R2 also, and has a SAN to store the VM's and database.
So my question is, can we expect our Clonezilla backup/restore to work on our failover server nodes with the added Active Directory?
I was reading these links that refer to Clonezilla, but the setup is different. http://techjournal.318.com/tag/windows/,http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/440193-windows-7-cloning-what-does-everyone-use . We aren't your typical IT people, and don't have a lot of experience with this.
Thanks!
