[PVE-User] Restoring Win2k8 R2 64bit to PVE 2.0

[Hart, Brian R.]

I do have isos attached to both - I have done this previously too without
issues but I'll try.  I had also tried taking the backup image with the VM
shut down to see if that would help.  I'll unmount the ISO's though, shut
them down, image and restore them and see what happens and post back.
Thanks for the suggestion!
