BESR 8.5 SBS - The GUI's Nightmare.... (15 minutes recovery illusion!)
I spent the whole afternoon trying to restore a server from an image previously created.
When the process has been terminated i restarted the server but the operative system did not boot notifying mbr issue.
So I tried different options to solve the issue (changing hard disk, dismounting the array, rebuilding a new image.etc.etc). but there was no way !
While I was trying for the nth time, I noticed that the checkbox "rebuild mbr" in the advanced options (that I regularly checked for "C:" partition ev'ry time) not preserve his state if select another partition .
For better understanding:
try to check mbr option for partition "C:", select another partion and check another option, select again partition "C:" and you will notice that option previously selected is gone.
This is absolutly a non-sense a totally illogical !!!!!
I waste hours of my time unuseless for this !!
I hope that Symantec developer consider this for next release of Recovery Manager.
Bye

Symantec BESR Support
We you able to actually contact Symantec support on the phone and talk to a live tech rep?
I am planning to use the product for a server conversion and this doesn't sound good.

Hi Don. The product it's
Hi Don.
The product it's ok... but the recovery manager interface have (imho) this bug.
When I discovered the issue, I recover the server in few minutes clicking on the "ok" button ev'ry time I checked an option.
I made a P2V conversion and all work fine.

DonRay, You need to be sure
DonRay,
You need to be sure you actually have a maintanence contract with Symantec for your product if there is a chance you'll need to talk to support.
I suggest you take a look at the "About Maintanence" section of my BESR Blog:
