backups with multiple partitions
Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2008 9:23 pm
I am testing this software for our company and so far it has worked great for single partition computers but I have run into a small snag.
I am testing AIS on a server with 3 mirrored arrays and each array has two partitions.
I can create a backup just fine of all the data on each of the partitions (Drive C, Drive D, Drive M, Drive O, and Drive P).
When I restore the data, the C drive and D drive go to the correct locations but the remaining partitions have the data swapped in the wrong drive letters.
When I choose to do the restore it asks for the correct paths for Drive M, O, and P, I choose a path but the data gets all mixed up and put into wrong drive letter.
After the restore completes I restart the pc and the drive letters are not what they were when I took the image.
When you do a full restore shouldn't it recreate the drive letters and set it up exactly as it was when you took the snapshot of the image?
Any help would be appreciated. If I can get this figured out we are looking at purchasing AIS for around 25 servers.
