A couple of days ago I was teaching a Windows Server 2008 course and I got to the point where I had to demo the procedure of backing up and restoring Windows Server 2008. When I teach I usually use a virtual machine, and this time too I had Windows Server 2008 RTM running as a VM inside Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.
Note that I’ve been able to repro on 3 separate installations, but these were ALL under some sort of virtualization software – either VS 2005 R2 SP1, or VMware Workstation 6.02. I simply don’t have a physical box at hand to test on right now.
Here are the repro details:
Also note that I tested this on a DC as well as on a simple member server. No additional roles have been installed or tested. .NET Framework 3.0 or IIS where NOT installed.

In order to fix the bug please perform the following steps:
These were the repro details. I’d love to hear what you have to say about these issues. Also, if you find the same behavior in different time zones please do drop me a line at the FEEDBACK page.
In any case, I’ve reported the bug to Microsoft, when I have more info I will post it on this page.
