Server Admin error when creating MSD using Floppy Disk

Valid on Windows Server 2008 (x64)

Symptom

When creating Machine Specific Disk for 64-bit (x64) Windows Server 2008 using a floppy disk, you get insufficient floppy disk capacity error.

Solution

You get this error message, when you try to integrate network adapter drivers with the MSD. You must disable "Copy network adapter driver files to MSD" and create MSD without network driver. This will not integrate any device driver to MSD so the capacity of a floppy is enough to store the MSD.

However, for the network device drivers, you can browse to the directory of C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup\DR\BackupServerName\ClientName\DRV, and copy all the files under that directory to another floppy disk or USB flash disk.

While performing disaster recovery, if you want to install network device driver, insert floppy or USB flash disk which contains the driver files, select the driver file to install it on the device driver install page.

Note: BackupServerName is the server name of the backup server and the ClientName is the server name of the client agent.
