Restore full system backup to physical success, restore to VM fail (acronis image corrupt)

Thread needs solution

Hi all,

i am trying to restore a full system backup (created by acronis 12.5 server) to a virtual box / VMware virtual server by booting the VM with acronis boot media, then recover the .tib file from USB device (also did by LAN connection) to the virtual Windows Server 2012. In every case the restore fails at 30% or so, stating like "backup image corrupt".

The Backup is vaild, since i can access it by acronis and restore single files out of it.

Next, a 4TB harddisk inside the Backup is GPT and acronis states "GPT can not be restored, use MBR". I believe GPT was used because of the filesize of 4 TB. Since this is not a boot / system harddisk, why does acronis care?

I tryed with that GPT harddisk for restore and without the GPT partition (but sure with the data partition on that 4 TB disk) -> "backup image corrupt"

Next, when restoring the same backup to a physical machine, is is no problem at all.

Any advise, why this seems to be a problem inside the VM (when it is actually starting to recover, ther is also data on the virtual harddisk) while the restore to physical machine works like a charm?

thanks a lot in advance,

cheers

Hello pfc,

welcome to Acronis forums!

If your backup contains LVM, please restore it into VM the following way: create a target VM, boot it with Acronis Bootable Media and Change volume representation so it coincides with the source one, then stat the Recover wizard.

I recommend that you follow instructions provided in the following KB article https://kb.acronis.com/content/62349

Otherwise, please describe what is the source system and how the backup of the original system was created.

Please also share the complete activity log by downloading it: follow Overview -> Activities, select the log of the failed recovery operation and download it.
