Can you elucidate a little bit? You mean that you only have a C:\ ?

Subject: Server 2008 GUID for backup devices

 

Well those of you running 2008 for sure know that the native backup tools in
08 have been significantly altered and you can no longer perform system
state to "critical volumes"  This presents a problem for applications that
replicate offsite by creating a systemstate file locally and sending it off,
or for clients that send systemstate volumes to network locations for
backup.

 

My specific question is.. "Does anyone know how to make Server 08 present a
network drive or remapped path on an existing volume as a NEW GUID volume to
the OS.  Subst command does not present a GUID for the volume you map
according to a WMI lookup of Win32_volume

 

We are trying to work around this until the software vendors come out with a
workaround or MS provides some kind of interface for doing this again.

 

Thanks
