Restoring Windows Backup to another server

ReadyNAS 2100 via iSCSI connection used as Windows Server 2008 R2 backup on Server A. Daily backups showed successful. Frontview shows 1200 GB (87%) of 1368 GB used.

Server A no longer available. Using Windows Backup to restore to another 2008 R2 server - "The specified remote shared does not contain any backup."

Viewing the 2100 via UNC or mapped drive only shows a shared folder named backup, No other files or folders are displayed.

Any thoughts on how I can proceed?

    Have you configured the iSCSI initiator on the new Server to connect to the LUN?
  • Thank you, that was the issue. The iSCSI configuration was connected as a Target, but never Configured as a Volume.
