Hi!
i ran into some trouble lately.
I have to migrate a Windows SBS 2011 to Proxmox and i read the Wiki and other Websites. I did the following:
First of all i used the build in windows-backup from the sbs-2011 server. i did a single-full backup with baremetal restore and systemstate and full harddisk (on a network share).
then i created a kvm virtual machine and put in an sbs-2011 isof rom which i booted. I choose RESTORE and selected the Full Backup (from a network-share).
Restore took its time and finally it said: DONE!
So i rebooted the machine in Proxmox but it failed with 0x0000007b (inaccessible bootdevice, i think). So i googled a bit and found a site with mergeide. SO i booted in restoremode and started a console and ran regedit, imported hive system32/system and merged mergeide in it. then i unmounted the branch and rebooted... no Luck... same erro again.
Drivers are there under system32/drivers/pciide.sys,atapi.sys and so on... Registry is fine also.
Then i read the wiki, which is only about XP and 2003 and w2k. You suggest to mergeide and just dd the whole harddisk and then just start it. But isn't that the same as a fullbackup with windows-backupand restore?
I hoped the windows integrated backupsoftware is able to restore on different hardware, but ... no, it seem to be useless here.
does anybody has an dea how to convert a windows SBS 2011 to proxmox in a USABLE way? the server has 500 GB alltogether..
thank you
