Windows 2008 R2 with Hyper V and Linux 12.0.4 can't produce a valid .vhd copy
-
10 Agustus 2012 7:49I am running Hyper V on a W2008 R2 machine with an Ubuntu 12.0.4 server as a virtual server. I have created a backup .vhd file using HVBackup onto a removable drive using the command prompt line HVBackup -l [name of virutal machine] -o E:\ and am trying to get it to run on a second W2008 R2 machine with Hyper V but when I start the Virtual Machine, Hyper V starts OK and then I get:
boot failure. reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device
The purpose of the second machine is as a security backup with the intention of creating a security backup at least once a week.
I am very new to virtual machines and Hyper V so any advice would be greatly appreciate.

Linux has no VSS so there's no guarantee agentless backup will produce consistent images.

Hi!
Like nismo wrote, Linux operating systems can't be backed up while they're running. You need to either shut down the VM or put it in a saved state before you can make a functional copy of the vhd.

Thanks for the two quick replies. I had made a valid .vhd copy by shutting the system down. Really wanted to avoid being offline but seems that might be the only way.
