Hi,
I have a DELL PE R310. Spec is as follows.ACPI x64-based PC. Quad X3430 Processor and a DELL PERC S300 RAID Controller. Win Server 2008 R2 SP1.
I have a bare metal backup of this server created using Backup Assist (based on Windows Backup). Recovery, D: & C:
I happen to have a spare DELL PE R200 server which I want to use to test my backup / restore procedure.
Spec of R200 is as follows. ACP x64-based PC, Dual E2200 Processor and a DELL SAS 6/ir Adapter Controller.
So I boot from the Win 2008 CD into the recovery console on the R200. It sees the target disk, selects the backup image, and 1.75 hours later the restore finishes.
The R200 starts to load Windows (the dotted bar moves across the screen for about 20 seconds) and then poof, the server restarts.
Any idea what's going on and how I can get it to work?
Many Thanks, Chris.
