I am having a weird issue. I create the hyper-v vm create a disk and run the restore and it seems to work but it wont boot. I get unmountable boot drive .and startup repair runs. If i look at the partitions in diskpart They are RAW instead of NTFS.<\/p>\n
Any Ideas.<\/p>","upvoteCount":9,"answerCount":8,"datePublished":"2020-02-18T12:22:08.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bennuss","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/bennuss"},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":"

I’m a bit confused with what you’re trying to do here.<\/p>\n
Where was the Veeam Agent running and taking backups from?<\/p>\n
Do you have the bare metal restore ISO file?<\/p>\n
What are you trying to restore?<\/p>","upvoteCount":2,"datePublished":"2020-02-18T14:24:30.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary-D-Williams","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Gary-D-Williams"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
If you lift an image from a machine, the VM you create has to be the same sort of machine - boot wise.<\/p>\n
Look at whether you’re creating a gen 1 or gen 2 VM - uefi or not.<\/p>\n
Look at whether the disk you’re creating is attached to the correct controller type - IDE or SCSI - and that it’s marked for boot.<\/p>\n
Check your boot order in the firmware section.<\/p>\n
I’ve been able to put everything into a VM and get it to boot - from XP to WinX and WS2003 to 2012R2.<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2020-02-18T14:27:30.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/3","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Robert5205","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Robert5205"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Are you trying to do a P2V using Veeam? I have done this a few times for VMware and it just worked.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2020-02-19T18:14:44.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/4","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"john31182877","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/john31182877"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Yes . Its essentially what I am doing . I backed up a physical server with the agent and now want to restore it to a hyperV machine that I created with a disk of similar size.<\/p>\n
The issue is that the original disk is 4k and so on the restore I ended up with RAW partitions. i fixed it using VHDXTOOLS . i created a vhdx of the right size with logical 4k sectors and attached it to the hyperv and then restored to it. Worked perfectly… Doesnt seem to be a way in hyperv directly to create a 4k disk.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2020-02-23T03:40:22.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/5","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bennuss","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/bennuss"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Why not use disk 2 VHD?<\/p>\n
Better yet, why not a fresh install as a VM?<\/p>","upvoteCount":1,"datePublished":"2020-02-23T09:30:30.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/6","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary-D-Williams","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/Gary-D-Williams"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Testing a backup if I can bring it up as a VM relatively quickly. It took with vhdxtools and the agent approx 50 min which is fine.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2020-02-23T09:41:57.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/veeam-agent-restore-to-hyper-v/751737/7","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"bennuss","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/bennuss"}},{"@type":"Answer","text":"
