I hav made backup of physical windows server 2008 R2 ( GPT )

I cant recover it on Hyper-V
It wont boot. Using bootable media the same, something about turning on UFEI in BIOS, but hyperv has no BIOS

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

You need to recover to a MBR disk, and ABR11.5 will convert booting method to BIOS (i.e. alter restored image to be able to boot from MBR disk) - http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11/index.html#12540.html .

Dev,
Thank you for answer.

When recovering, ABR 11.5 says that OS containing UEFI and will be converted to BIOS boot. I think it converts, but it doesnt boot anyway on Hyper-V. It boots on physical machine.
When recover, i use recover on new virtual machine. I remove second disk ( because mirrored ) and recover only first. First disk for Hyper-V is initialized automaticly as MBR, but something is wrong...

Win Server 2008 R2 has 2 disks mirrored with GPT

Karlis Betins,
make sure that you included the esp partition (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744301%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) to both backup and recovery. If you did, then this looks like a bug.
