Hi everyone

Today I tried to restore a virtual server, running on hyper-v. Kinda worked, just a little annoying problem. I tried to restore the VHD files into a specific folder. d:\daten-NBCK\VM

The Problem is what ever I'm trying it always creates a folder structure like this:

Microsoft Hyper-V\D\Daten-NBCK\VHD

It takes the original path  (D stands for the Hyper-V Host Partition the VHD are on) and generates that folder structure on the target machine, which totally screws up our folder structures. Is there a way to just restore the VHD-Files into the folder I want, without that useless anyoing structure? Kinda makes the hole "register on hyper-v" function useless if we need to change the structer after restore, moving the VHD to the desired path -.-

Backup Exec can back up only

Backup Exec can back up only the files that reside on the virtual server. Virtual machines that have iSCSI or remote .vhd files are excluded from backup jobs.

You will need the AGENT FOR

You will need the AGENT FOR VIRTUAL SERVERS to backup the files while the VMs are running If you dont want to purchase the agent you will need to power off the VM and then perform a backup.

There is no problem with the

There is no problem with the backup. The problem is path generated for the restore. I just want the VHD files that I restore into the same directory as all the others. But Backup Exec always generates a usless folder structer. No Way around this?
