We have process whereas we split an HDS shadow image pair and mount the
secondary volume onto the root of c: on one of our NBU windows media
servers, then take a backup.
i.e. once the process has completed the volume is C:\$voulme
I have setup a flashbackup windows policy with \\.\C:\$volume as the
criteria to backup.
The backup works fine and sails through, and individual file restores
complete successfully too however if I attempt to restore the whole
volume from the backup the restore job just stays in a queued state with
no indication as to whether there is some background processing going
on.
You should be careful here. If you're doing a full volume restore, don't specify a directory tree, especially if you have a *lot* of files (millions). If you do a full volume restore pretending it's a file-based restore, you'll need to map the file list for the volume. We've seen cases where this simply craps out due to memory constraints.
Do a volume-based restore, although the destination volume has to be the exact size as the original source volume. i.e. don't restore /C/ but restore \\.C\:
