They say a backup that cannot be restored is not a backup, so I'm in the process of testing this just to make sure it works.
I have a laptop with three (3) successful backups stored on my WHS 2011 server, and I'm trying to do a "bare metal" restore.
The backups are from a 64GB Windows 8 SSD with just the standard small install partition and the rest a single C: partition. I'm trying to restore to a standard 160GB SATA 2½" hard drive.
All attempts to restore exits with an error message. "Failed to initialize VDS, 0x80080005"
What am I doing wrong?
I'm glad this is only a test, but I don't know what to think of WHS 2011's ability to recover backups.![:angry:]()
