The solution was to download the following driver DELLSAS,PERC S110 driver version 3.0.0.0134,A00 from [URL] and use the select driver option within the restore utility. This driver is required even if you are restoring an image from an external drive because windows has to see the internal drives before it can restore the image. I placed the files on a USB drive. During the repair process I selected the load drivers option and selected the bcraid3 file. Once the driver was successfully loaded, I was able to see my drives and select the image. If you are restoring an image from an external drive you will still need to load the driver or the restore will not destination drives and will not continue. If you have the resources you could create a new slip stream Setup CD that include the PERC S110 driver so that drives are discovered without the need to load additional drivers.
I have a Poweredge T320 with windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and have performed a Bare Metal Backup of the C (system) drive using the Windows Server Backup utility. The server has 2 sets of Raid 1 storage and the image is saved on the non System drive. The backup is successful and I can view the backup and restore individual files including the server state within the Server Backup utility. However, in testing the Bare Metal Restore process, the image cannot be found. I've tried 2 methods of restoring the backup image and neither method works: 1. Press F8 during normal boot process and select the repair option. 2. Boot on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 CD and select repair option. Any ideas why my backup image cannot be located? Could this be a driver issue? This is a new server that I'm standing up but i need to verify the fail over recovery process before implementation.
Bare Metal Restore (Windows Repair) does not find windows backup image
