Loading MBR failed: Error reading image size from server

Restore
1

Hi,
as it’s my first post here: Martin thanks for great software!

And get to problem, i stuck in this situation trying to restore my home developer win2016 server, machine is untouched same disk/config(i restore it few times testing different environments in last year without any problem). All files restore to disk but boot loader fail:

Loading MBR and GTP data…
Loading MBR failed: Error reading image size from server
Error loading MBR of partition

Beside this UrBackup work fine as usually, I check on my notebook - backup restore without any problems.

Any ideas what is this problem with image size?

Hm… despite this error after machine reboot Windows Server boot up and work just fine :thinking:
Did I mention this is a hell of a good software? :stuck_out_tongue:

Are you keeping in mind that MBR drive (total drive space, not the size of partition/volume) must be less than 2048 Gb? What kind of partitioning scheme do you have on source system: GPT or MBR?

P. S. When I trying to restore image backup on different system, I always use “physical 2 physical” arrangement. This feature you can find in Paragon Partition Manager for example. It will clean boot dependencies / HAL settings from old system and recovered system will load with default driver/system software set.

Thanks for reply.
In my case it’s much simpler, same machine without any changes. As I mention it ist my home test environment I mess in system config a lot :slight_smile:
And restore always work smooth, this was first time when i get this error so probably ghost in machine as system boot up without problem.
But as I’m testing container management on this system now, I will restore it next week once again so I let you know how it go. But my trust in urbackup is unshaken :slight_smile:
