Hi,
I am using Hyper V 2012 R2 Server, so no GUI.
My goal is to perform backups of the server utilizing "Windows Server Backup" feature
I was able to complete a backup and see the version with:
wbadmin get versions
Backup time: 9/27/2018 4:15 PMBackup target: 1394/USB Disk labeled NewBackup(D:)
Version identifier: 09/27/2018-23:15
Can recover: Volume(s), File(s), Application(s)
Snapshot ID: {2d8fcca2-8668-4767-88be-9920f89946d6}
then, using the versionID, in my case, -version:09/27/2018-23:15
I used wbadmin start recovery
so my full command looks like this
wbadmin start recovery -version:09/27/2018-23:15 -items:c: -itemType:volume -backupTarget:d:
Then I get prompted if i wish to continue, I enter Y, then I get the error message
"error: A volume cannot be recovered to a critical volume"
Am I using the command incorrectly? Am I missing a fundamental understanding of this command or what Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 is capable of? Any help is appreciated.
