Where does Windows Server 2012 R2 Expect to see the WindowsImageBackup folder?

  • 772

Whenever I try to recover a server from the Windows Reccovery Environment, it never finds the backup image. I tried the networking option, but it never sees it. It scans the share, no error, finds nothing.

If I do it "normal," no network share, then it does not find it, and I cannot change where it is looking. It is grayed out:

  1. It doesn't care as long as the path includes WindowsImageBackup. When we were attempting a restore we created an ISO and the name of the CD was WindowsImageBackup - we re-burned it with the folder WindowsImageBackup as the root and it showed up in the wizard.

    I've done this via CD, mounted ISO, and UNC.
