I have a Poweredge T320 with windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and have performed a Bare Metal Backup of the C (system) drive using the Windows Server Backup utility. The server has 2 sets of Raid 1 storage and the image is saved on the non System drive. The backup is successful and I can view the backup and restore individual files including the server state within the Server Backup utility. However, in testing the Bare Metal Restore process, the image cannot be found. I've tried 2 methods of restoring the backup image and neither method works: 1. Press F8 during normal boot process and select the repair option. 2. Boot on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 CD and select repair option. Any ideas why my backup image cannot be located? Could this be a driver issue? This is a new server that I'm standing up but i need to verify the fail over recovery process before implementation.
