Trying to post a question to the Windows Server 2019 forum and it keeps getting flagged as SPAM. Not sure what about this is considered SPAM.
Title is: Trying to do a system state restore and the 'use the latest available system image' option is greyed out
Body is:
I volunteer at a non-profit and setup a new Windows Server 2019 Std server for them. I'm trying to document the restore process from a system state backup and keep hitting brick walls. A wbadmin system state backup runs nightly from a Scheduled
Task and the resultant WindowsImageBackup is done to a Synology storage device on the network. The Synology device is addressable on the network using its IP address or nodename ("backup") and contains a share named "full" where the
backups are stored. The DNS services are coming from a Comcast Business SMB Router. When I boot my new server up from the installation media - Repair your computer - Troubleshoot - System Image Recovery - Windows Server - on the "Select
a system image backup" page, the "use the latest available system image(recommended)" option is grayed out. That is how I would get to the Synology device's share on the network that contains the WindowsImageBackup folder created by my
nightly backup. Any idea why this might be grayed out?
So I also tried another method to do the recovery from the Troubleshoot - Command Prompt. When running the "wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:10/12/2019-01:00 -backuptarget:\\backup\full -machine:myservername" command, I get the error
"START SYSTEMSTATERECOVERY command is not supported in Windows Recovery Environment.
Not sure where to go from here. Can anyone out there help?
