BMR 'Prepare to restore' fail
Updated: 05 May 2011 | 7 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi All,
I am running win 2008 r2 with nbu 7.0.1 and ET2206134 hotfix appied. The BMR backup finish successfully with code 0. when i do a "Prepare to Restore", i got an error "cannot find trueimage date".
Digging around, i find this technote http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag....
i think my error is likely to be the 3rd scenario. the technote says to compare the entries in BMR master's /var/bmr/conf/CL with NBU master's /opt/openv/netbackup/db/images. However, my server is windows. where do i find the equivalent of /var/bmr/conf/CL in a windows machine?
Thanks alot.

Hi there
The hotfix that is mentioned here ET2206134 is in relevance with UEFI Boot systems. In case you have a Windows systems that is UEFI boot configured than BMR Prepare To Restore will fail in a similar way.
Unfortunately BMR yet doesn't support UEFI / GPT boot partitions hence it is unable to locate the EFI boot partition from the backup images. Hence the error during Prepare To Restore.
Thanks
Windows 2008 R2 cannnot be BMR protected
Hi Suchitra,
Are u saying that Windows 2008 R2 cannot be BMR protected if it uses EFI boot partitions? The Symantec OS compatibility guide (http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...) states that win 2008 r2 is supported as BMR client. Is there a symantec technote that specifically says what you have just stated?
Thnks

ALL LOCAL DRIVES
Hi,
How is your policy configure? make sure that "ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES" directive is set for backup selection. BMR recovery needs 'Shadow Copy Components' and 'system state' in the backup image.
