Hi guys.
I'm testing DP 9.06 rawdisk functions, I'll like to be able to do a complete system restore from a Backup, so an image backup of my servers with DP looks like a great option.
So I've installed DP (9.06) on a Windows Server 2008 R2 and added a LUN to this server and the configure DP to do file library backups.
Backups are working like a charm, no problem. I looked up the web and find out the way to do a Disk Image, and doing it using [code] \\.\C: [/code] as when I use [code] \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE<number>' [/code] a mesasage is shown as files are locked so the backup can't be made.
So I've confirme that I can create a Disk Image backup, I went to restore section and under the Disk Image, my server is listed.
As i'm doing tests, I've choosed None for protection and None for Data security.
Then I installed another server from scratch, same model, same windows installation, same partition size, same everything, installed dataprotector, choose a restore from the server that I've create my disk image and then choose the server to be restore as client but after some seconds I received this message.

Nothing restored.[/code]
So, what is the correct way to do this?
Note: I couldn't find a information in the administration guide nor the web nor the DP Help files.
