Volumes that are encrypted using BitLocker on Windows Server® 2008 clients lose encryption after restore. If you are using BitLocker, enable encryption again when you restore the machine.
Windows® uses VSS persistent snapshots to implement shadow copies in Windows Server® 2008. When restored, Windows does not properly recognize these shadow copies. They can become orphaned and consume disk space.
Microsoft® does not recommend backing up shadow copies. However, the Plug-in Live Client performs backups at the block level so there is no way to prevent the backup of snapshot files. Manually delete the snapshot files and enable shadow copies on the recovered volume again.
For instructions on deleting shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776119.aspx
For instructions on enabling shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776483.aspx
For more information on Microsoft-recommended best practices for shadow copies, see: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753975.aspx
Windows Server® 2008 automatically assigns drive letters to new-found partitions following a restore. This behavior can be controlled by using the diskpart.exe command. For more information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773140.aspx.
The target device name on the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, for example, “Disk 0 (IDE),” must be the same as it was at the time of backup.
Boot the target NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with the Plug-in Offline Client to prepare it for the restore of a DR image. To complete the boot routine, perform the steps covered in Booting a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client with Plug-in Offline Client.
Have the information noted in Verifying Disk Geometry and Device Size for use with Plug-in Live Client for Windows handy to complete the restore. This information helps ensure that you back up the correct data.
The NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client machine that is to serve as a target for the restore must be accessible to the Plug-in Server. The topic that follows outlines the required steps for this verification.

Access the NetVault Backup Backup window to verify that the applicable client machine has been added as a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client. |
b |
c |
When the Edit Bare Metal Recovery Client dialog box is displayed, verify that the data is correct or change it as required. |
d |
If the NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client is added correctly, continue to the next topic, Restore procedure for restoring data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows; otherwise, proceed to the following step. |

Close the NetVault Backup Backup window of the Plug-in Server, and continue to the Restore procedure for restoring data with Plug-in Live Client for Windows topic. |
The following topics illustrate how to restore a Plug-in Live Client backup to a physical machine.

Click Next. |
1 |
On the Create Selection Set page, click Edit Plugin Options, and select Physical Machine — the default — as the Restore Type. |
• |
Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver: If you are restoring to different hardware that also uses a different mass storage controller, select this option. After you select this option, the Boot-Critical Driver Directory and Driver Injection Only options are available. |
• |
Boot-Critical Driver Directory: If you selected the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option, enter the complete path to the local drive where the drivers for the mass storage controller are stored. |
• |
Driver Injection Only: If you previously completed a restore but pointed to an incorrect location in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field, select this option to run the driver-injection portion of the restore process again. This option eliminates the need to restore the data again, but lets you inject the correct drivers. Check that you enter the correct path in the Boot-Critical Driver Directory field. By default, the Inject Boot-Critical Device Driver option remains selected; do not clear it as this option prevents the Driver Injection Only option from working. |
The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.
