Known issues

Hyper-V restore of a virtual machine to a different location with a new name may overwrite the original VM

Problem

With version Beefalo V2 SP1 (4.4.3.84 SP1), Hyper-V restore of a virtual machine to a different location with a new name may overwrite the original VM, resulting in complete loss of data stored on the original VM. This only happens if the original VM is offline (powered off) at the time of a restore. This issue only applies if you are running Beefalo V2 SP1. Hyper-V restore in the previous versions is working fine.

Workaround

Do not perform a Hyper-V VM relocation restore with SEP sesam Beefalo V2 SP1. This issue is already fixed and an official fix will be released soon. We will post a notice as soon as the new service pack is available.
