Paragon Backup 10 Server

Good day all,

I'm working with the Paragon Drive Backup 10 Server edition on a Dell server running a Perc S100/S300 raid card.

When I create a recovery disk and then boot into it, it tells me the drives that are part of the raid 1 config on the Perc card are in read and show as 'invalid'. Also it's showing the two raw drives, instead of a single one.

How can I get proper drivers onto the backup cd so I can perform a proper cold metal restore?

Thanks very much!

There should be a load driver function on the paragon winpe boot media - that allows browsing to the driver .inf file and loading it into running pe.

Otherwise , you should be able to add drivers permanently to the winpe image with dism.

 

Are there any instructions on how to do this?

thanks,

Frank

 

Which do you mean , Frank?

1. Your paragon winpe product may contain a function called load drivers - on the express launch menu. probabaly.

Select it, browse to the driver inf and the driver should be installed to your currently running instance of winpe.


2. To add a driver permanently , [ you need to be running windows 7 because dism is required to inject drivers into a winpe3 image ]

Copy & paste the contents of the paragon winpe cd to the HD ( or if you have the iso on your drive - you can just extract that to a folder. )

Mount the boot.wim with dism.

Add the driver(s) to the mounted image with dism.

Unmount (with commit ) the image to save the changes.

Then make a bootable iso out of the folder .

 

To be honest, I have no idea at all how to proceed. Is there a tab in the software to create this disk? You had mentioned the paragon winpe product. Where do I find that?

Winpe .iso is a separate download from your account - available with all paid products ( except pm personal, I believe )

If you are using Server - that is definitely a paid product - you will find the download in your account
