R-Drive Image recovery disc and mapped network drives
Posted: Mon May 22, 2017 1:03 am
I am having a small issue with R-Drive Image. I have used the product for many years, but I only really use the R-Drive Image recovery disc. I generate recovery images for my servers/workstations, and in one environment I create/restore these via a mapped network drive. I successfully did this using a 6.0 version back in Feb 2017. I am now using 6102 (I know there are newer versions available, but I'm not positive this is an R-Drive issue yet). I have also looked at the changelog, and nothing jumps out at me that says that my issue would have been fixed/addressed in a future version of R-Drive Image. My problem is that I cannot successfully verify an image created on the mapped network drive. I have attempted several troubleshooting steps:
- I can successfully create/verify using a USB Dock and a SATA harddrive.
- If I copy the images created via this USB Dock and SATA harddrive to the network share location on the server I can:
- Successfully verify the integrity of the images
- Restore from the images
I have implemented some security policies on my 2012R2 domain controller (where the shares are located), but if all of the above work, I'm not aware of anything that *should* prevent creating the images from working also. The images restored and/or verified range in size from 6G to 26G.
I have tried using multiple client machines, but the same primary network switch and server for all testing.
Also in testing, I can create an image of a single partition (very small) and it works just fine, but the larger image sizes 6G to 26G fail to verify.
Any help/guidance is appreciated.
