Windows Image restoration, error no backup server found

I have taken the image level backup of one of the Windows VM and the backup has completed successfully.
Now i try to do the restoration via Restoration image.

I have configured the VM and configured the UrBackup restoration CD as boot device and the VM boots through restoration CD.
Initial scan for backup server completes and error noticed is no backup server found.
Manually entered the backup server ip but still i get the same error.
Entered the shell prompt in restoration cd and from there i have verified the ping to backup server works fine.
Now i am not able to do restoration of my windows VM.

I have the same problem as described by @MK05.

Server : 2.0.33, Restore CD (iso): 2.0.2

Contents of restore_mode.txt (well roughly as I had to OCR a couple of screenshots)

Hi. I had the same issue but i resolved it by downloading a restore cd that was the same version as urbackup server i was using. This seemed to sort the issue as the backup server was now found.

Where can i download the older version, i am not able to find the older version.
Kindly share the link if you found one.

Try to check here

Thanks for sharing the link.
Able to do the restoration without any issue.

Glad this worked for you.

I am using UrBackup version 2.0.36 on CentOS 7.
Image backup of my VMs have completed successfully.

I am trying to restore the Image backup of one of my VM and i get the error “no backup server found”.
I am using restore cd image 2.0.3-2. Tried with 2.0.2 version also, but same error.

Seems to be Network issue.
When i boot from live CD, its not taking the IP address and later when i assign the static IP also, i get the same error - Backup server not found.

I have the same problem. Did you manage to fix it ?

After using older version of restore cd, restoration worked fine for me.
What version of UrBackup you are using ?

UrBackup server version 2.1.19. I tried with restore cd verstions 1.1.2, 1.2, 2.0.2, 2.0.3-2-amd64…

Netstat shows ports opened on Server and on restorecd client.
Firewall is off.
Client and server are both on same subnet.

Clinets backups just fine, problem is with restoring images with restorecd.

EDIT:

This is tcpdump from server (192.168.1.34), client is 192.168.1.130:
tcpdump -i eth0 -nn src host 192.168.1.130

Thank you

Never mind, I figure it out

ICMP host 192.168.1.34 unreachable - admin prohibited, length 63

It was firewall after all. Blocking ICMP packets… Altough firewall was stoped with systemctl stop firewalld I still had to flush the iptables rules.
After that everything works as expected
