Backup Exec 2012

[Marc_Lemar]

Good Morning,

 

 

Every month I spend a couple of days checking that the SDR Backup will restore ok onto my spare stand alone server, last month everything was fine and worked ok but yesterday I hit a snag the finance server recovered fine but the curric server didn't presenting me with an error message once it had rebooted after the recovery process had completed.

 

 

I did not think much about it at the time and thought it may have been the SDR disk so burnt another one and left it recovering overnight, but today I have the same error message as follows;

 

 

Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]. The setting specified in the answer file cannot be applied. The error was detected while processing setting for component [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup].

 

 

The only thing that has changed to my knowledge in the last month is the BE2012 was removed and reinstalled and the RDX Disks where re-cattalogued, I am still using the original SDR image and did not create a new one as I didn't think I would need to.

 

 

Does anyone know what the error is and how to get a round it ?? I have since re-created the SDR boot disk but the error still remains.

 

 

Many Thanks in Advance.

OK I have an update, I have just installed SP3 on my 2008 R2 DC and after rebooting the server went into BE to check all was ok, when I went into test\edit credentials everything passes fine except for 2 devices.

 

On closer inspection its testing against the following;

 

1. C (OS)

2. D (RDX Drive)

3. E (Images Drive)

4. F (Data Drive)

5. System State

 

They all pass ok but then it fails against drives H & K which have the same icon as my RDX drive but they do not show up in BE or in Device or Disk Management in Windows, I am wondering if these 2 rouge disk storage devices are what is upsetting my SDR.

 

Is there anyway in BE 2012 to delete these to eliminate this issue.
