Brilliant people of the forums,
I am having an issue with running backups on my server. It is a VMware virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 R2. The issue I am facing is that when trying to backup the server (Symantec Backup Exec 2012), it tries to backup extra drives. For example, there is a "C" and an "N" drive on the server. The backup when trying to do system state, also shows a P, K, J, E, F, G, H, and Q drive. I thought this was originally a Backup Exec issue, but when I go into computer management on the server, I can see administrative shares on the server for these "extra" drives. Only two disks have been presented to this server through VMWare. Only two disks show up in disk management.
My question is, is there a place in the registry where disk information is held? Does anyone have any thoughts? My initial instinct was to delete the administrative shares for the "extra" drives and see if this helps, but my gut tells me these drives had to have been present somewhere to have the server try to set them up. The virtual machine was created from a template, but other servers created from the same template have not had similar issues.
Thanks,
Joe
