Unattended BMR from PXE

Post by flyinmuyen »

Hi all,
Has anyone successfully performed an unattended restore using the Veeam Recovery Media booted via PXE?
I'm using the same BMRAnswerFile.xml that works flawlessly when booting from a recovery USB, but it fails to trigger an unattended restore over PXE. I've tried placing the XML file in the following locations within the PXE environment:

X:\
X:\VeeamRecovery
X:\ProgramData\Veeam
X:\ProgramData\Veeam\Endpoint
X:\Program Files\Veeam
D:\ (USB connected after boot)
Attached VHD
Attached iSCSI disk

No luck so far. Has anyone found a reliable method or workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.

same here!

would be interesting to know how to tell Veeam.EndPoint.Recovery.exe to use BMRAnswerFile.xml

may be there is an undocumented commandline switch?
