WHS Client Restore Wizard throws Unknown Network Error after selecting "Let the wizard fully restore the computer"

  I have the exact same problem, except somehow WHS formatted / destroyed multiple partitions and now I can't boot at all.  I am very frustrated as well.  I really hope someone can help here.  Client is a Win 7 Ult x64.  I have restored this computer before with WHS V1 with NO problems at all.  Unfortunately, I moved to WHS 2011 and now I can't do a restore.

   

  1) Originally I tried to do a restore from within windows of my D: partition.  The restore process said it would take > 16 hours, so on the advice of another reader, I went to the full restore wizard in order to save time on the 16 hours.

  2) I attempted to restore D: (which is on the same physical disk as C:).  This failed with the "Unknown Network Error...".  Now, I have no problem seeing the server before the restore starts.  Originally the restore said it would take 42 minutes, then a few seconds later 8 seconds, then the "Unknown Network Error..."  If I run this again it starts at 20 seconds, then 8, then error.  If I run a third time, it counts down to 0, but still gives the error.  I rebooted and discovered my C: drive was no longer bootable (now I have to restore both drives).

  3) Seeing that the error above did not make any sense, I looked at the error log and here is the end of it.  Mind you I am trying to restore D: still.

  From the log you can see that the FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME call failed.  I have tried this on two separate volumes and both get the same exact error.  I believe that the Unknown Network Error is likely the wrong error.  If I were you (HFWG), I would check the log file to see if you see something else.

   

  For any smart people out there, if you have any experience with this error, please let me know.  Unfortunately, this is a system I use every day and I really need it back.  I figured I was safe as WHS V1 never let me down, but this is really frustrating.

   

  Any help would be appreciated,

  Thanks.

  It looks to me as though something thinks the CD/DVD/BD drive (whichever it is) is not locked and/or thinks that is where the file is located.

  Try turning on sharing for the optical drive, if it is not already set and then make the advanced permissions mirror that which you want for users of the system. It also can't hurt to check for a firmware update for the optical drive.

  I figured it out.  In order for the restore to work I had to delete the partition off the disk, then, create the partition, but do not format the drive.  I could then restore to the drive.  The problem after that was that Windows would no longer boot.  I had to use the install disk for Windows and repair the install.  Really, not a very friendly solution at all.  I think that much more work needs to go into handling restore, especially with drives that have more than one partition.  Each partition displayed on the page that allows you to chose which backup goes to which partition is displayed with a GUID and no size, so there is no way other than doing one restore at a time or writing down the GUID, to get the restore right.  Thus far, nearly everything in WHS-1 is superior to WHS-2011.  I am very disappointed. 

  jdj522 thanks for your suggestion.

  Strange. I find the WHS2011 restore process much superior to the original. On the occasions I have used it there was no need to create partitions in advance (unlike I remember from the original WHS) plus it correctly aligns partitions which is important if restoring to an SSD.

  It seems that this error happens to me when I chose the new disk smaller in size than the original disk was and thus not all the partitions fit onto it. Actually in my case I was trying to restore a backup of PC with 500GB HDD factory split into several partitions: 12 GB - recovery, 3.5 GB - OEM, 102 MB - system and the remaining 450 GB OS + data. I was initially trying to restore this backup to a 300 GB disk and got the subject error after the process has started. When I retried with a 500 GB disk, it worked.

  Actually the WHS restore wizard was smart enough to understand that barely 150 GB were used on the main partition and has mapped it automagically with a green arrow in the second last step (though strangely it did not offer to split the disk and map the remaining small partitions), but it was not smart enough to handle the situation when I continued. And yes, it seems that the error message is unrelated to what really happened.
  
  >> 8 hours later:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  it seems I was overly optimistic when I got past the first problem place. The restore estimated to 3.5 hours and it was working for a while and have actually copied 38.8 GB of data to the new disk (this time I was restoring only 1 partition and to the disk larger than it), but after approx 1  hour it broke with a bit different log but failing on the same line as before:

  After several dozens of tries id different combinations and after providing a 550 GB disk I was finally able to restore the PC backup.

  This is not anywhere close to easy... :(

  I have an HP Windws 7 64 bit laptop, that was totally destroyed by my other half's surfing habits, and tendencies to turn off McAfee.

  I tried to WHS Recovery CD, but that didn't work (network controller issues despite using the drivers on a USB Key, as well as downloading updated drivers from Realtek (3 times)), so I used the HP restore disk to return the laptop to factory install and settings.

  Now, I am trying to use the Client Restore Wizard, and after signing into WHS with the Password, and selecting the Backup I want, I choose "Let the wizard fully restore the computer".  Before a restore even starts, as soon as I hit Next, I get the error mentioned in the title.

  Old thread, but I'll share my 2 cents;  

  I repeatedly got the unknown network error on a similar setup to yours.  Turns out it was not a network issue at all.  I bypassed the "wizard" and manually created the partitions myself (using the alternative option to "wizard").  Works great now.  It seems the wizard was the thing screwing me up.
