VM with Windows Server won't boot after restoring from ghettoVCB backup
Have tried with enabled “quiescing”?
If not, try and test with this option:
- Install VMware tools on Windows Server VM
- Change VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE=1 in ghettoVCB.sh or in ghettoVCB configuration file.
Q: How to recover not bootable W2016 and W2019?
A: You have to manually boot Windows Server into so-called "Recovery Mode" and allow the OS to rebuild drivers stack and re-validate all the settings. Some products like f.e. StarWind V2V Converter do this automatically during V2V or simple cloning process.
