That means if you have open databases such as AD , you'll get a "crash-consistent" copy. Restoring the machine gives you about the same result as turning the computer back on after pulling the plug.
Windows will complain, but it will get over it. And that's far better than having no backup at all. And it's free. I've used Veeam Agent to back up a virtual DC from the inside and bare-metal restored it to a new VM on a different host. It recovers just fine, even if the underlying hardware is different.
Sorry Robert, I am not sure what is not quite right? The OP is talking about a physical server that is a domain controller. We aren't talking VM backups here unless I missed something? Also, I would be scared to death to backup a database with a crash consistent backup - that would be like playing the lottery. I would speculate just a guess I don't know that perhaps the problem is the destination D: drive is too big? You are trying to restore a 2TB image to a 4TB drive and perhaps windows Server backup can't resize a partition on the fly like 3rd party programs might?
Not sure, just a thought.
