Recover to Virtual from Server 2008 R2 has errors and won't boot.

Thread needs solution

I am using B&R 10, build 10.0.11345 to backup Server 03, 08 SP2, and 08R2 servers. When backing up my R2 server and then converting it to VM, the conversion succeeds with warnings.

Looking at the logs I get:
Acronis B&R 10 Universal Restore skipped because the operating system that is being processed (Windows Server 2008 R2) is not supported by the target platform.

Upon trying to boot the VM I get stuck in an infinite reboot from a 0x00007B BSOD, relating to the storage drivers.

Is there an update coming for this or do I need a different procedure?

Hello Paul,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

To find the exact reason of the issue I need additional information. What kind of VM you are going to use? Could you please also let us know the exact sequence of your actions? 

We are looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.

Please do not hesitate to ask additional questions if the provided information is not clear or you need a further assistance. 
Thank you.

I had this same problem. Acronis support even did the full configuration of the restore task via remote support. The restore took 4+ hours, only to find it didn't work. I had just a couple of hours to restore back to the physical machine. I tried to restore the backup I made just previous to attempting to convert to a virtual machine only to find it wouldn't restore, which resulted in almost a full day in downtime and data loss for the business I was helping. I spent more than 24 hours dealing with the most inept support people I have ever dealt with in my 15 years in the IT industry. I repeatedly asked to be elevated to Tier 2 support in US, and never was. I was promised immediate call backs, and response to my emails, but they never responded in a timely matter.

Acronis used to have some solid products, and the few times I did need support, I dealt with some knowledgable people in the US. I don't know what has happened since then, but the products seem to be riddled with problems, and the overseas support is god awful.

I've requested a refund on the software I purchased for this client and I will no longer be selling Acronis to my clients, and will be advising other IT professionals to avoid at all costs.
