You cannot specify a network drive for the location of the .bkf file when you use the Automated System Recovery feature in Windows Server 2003 (833782)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition for Itanium-based Systems
SYMPTOMSWhen you use the Automated System
Recovery (ASR) feature in a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, you cannot configure ASR to save the .bkf backup file to a network drive. You may experience this issue in one or both of the following scenarios:
Scenario 1
When you use the ASR wizard in Windows Server 2003, if you try to specify a
network drive for the location of the .bkf backup file, you
receive the following message: The specified
path is not the local path to this computer. It may not be accessible at
recovery time. Do you wish to continue?Scenario 2
When you start your computer from the Windows Server 2003 startup disk
and press F2 to enter ASR mode, you are prompted to save the .bkf backup file to a floppy disk. You cannot specify a network drive
for the location of the .bkf backup file.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, specify a local storage location such as a local tape device for the location of the .bkf backup file
instead of a network drive when you use the ASR feature.
