HyperV Restore with Restore CD

aproost · September 2, 2014, 8:41pm

Is it possible to restore within an HyperV VM? The Restore CD doesn’t recognize the Ethernet adapter, even the legacy version.

The restore cd is based on debian-live and I found an old bug, where that wasn’t working with HyperV. Maybe you could try it with a debian live cd to see if it doesn’t work there as well. If yes, we could inform the debian-live team.

get the same as well. 1.1.1 restore CD…network is fine. But drives can’t be resovled. They all list 0 size so you don’t actually know where you are restoring to.
