FLR - Missing Disks

[Spad]

I'm trying to do a FLR of a Server 2008 R2 VM with two disk drives (vmdks, not partitions) in 5.0 and it's only displaying partitions from the first hard drive. According to the backup logs it's backing up the right amount of data to account for both drives, but the 2nd one just isn't visible in the FLR browser.

Is this intended behaviour or am I missing something somewhere?

Adam, could you please try to use "Other OS" wizard to peform a FLR? Do see the same behaviour?

[Spad]

Vitaliy, it works correctly using the "Other OS" wizard, showing both VMDKs, though obviously it's a slower process.

[Vitaliy S.]

I assume you have dynamic disks, which have limited support with built-in wizard as per Release Notes. Meaning that the only way is to use "Other OS" wizard if you need to perform a FLR from those disks. Thanks!

[Spad]

Vitaliy, they're not dynamic disks, however they are GPT disks.

[Vitaliy S.]

Well... that explains, GPT disks are also not supported with built-in FLR wizard. I personally always use "Other OS" wizard in my labs, as it supports a rich number of file systems and can be launched very quickly.

Yep, this is documented in the System Requirements section of the Release Notes document.
