I tried searching the forums for this topic and couldn't find anything pertaining to my question so I apologize if I am repeating a topic. I also posted this in the computer and server backup subforum as it seems to be applicable to both and I apologize if that is frowned on as I am new to this forum. I installed a 3TB HDD in my WHS 2011 SP1 OS and initialized it as a GPT drive and created a 3TB partition using the disk management interface. I then selected this drive to use as a server backup disk in the dashboard interface. It went through the whole procedure to make it a backup disk and when it was done I now have a 3TB (2794.4MB to be exact) server backup disk. I then successfully ran a full server backup. Everything I have read about this topic says that WHS 2011 would make it a 2TB + 1TB disk due to a 2TB limitation in the backup program. What I am concerned about is will this appear to work but then not let me restore from this disk. I have tried a folder restore and that worked fine, but I don't know about a full disk or system restore. Does anybody have any experiences with this scenario?
