nie, blue screna nie ma żadnego. Jutro jeszcze z tym powalczę. Chcę przetestować sobie szybki recovery w przypadku awarii sprzętu ( jest dość leciwy ;) )

No właśnie nie wiem czy ten "dziadek" ruszyłby zwirtualizowany. Do tworzenia obrazu z działającego systemu można użyć narzędzia VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. I na drugim sprzęcie bawić się w wirtualizację tego dziadostwa. Nic będę testował.

How to restore a Windows installation or move it to different hardware

The preferred method to restore Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

To restore Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7-based computers, the preferred method is a full system restore. Specifically, without using ASR, you can perform a Bare Metal Restore (BMR) to freshly formatted boot volumes and system volumes on the same server that the original backup was taken from. In this case, the volume layouts and identifiers are identical to those used during the backup of the original computer. Additionally, you can perform a BMR that uses ASR to a computer that has different hardware than the original computer.

Note BMRs can be performed only when the system is offline.

Note Both the Target machine being backed up and the Destination machine receiving the restore have to be either Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) or BIOS based. You cannot mix the two in a BMR scenario.

Possible recovery scenarios for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7

Server unbootable/Server-migration scenario (planned and unplanned)

In this scenario, you can protect the server by performing a BMR backup of all critical volumes on the server. You then recover the server by performing a BMR recovery through Windows Recovery. In this scenario, BMR is supported to different hardware.
Server malfunction scenario (bootable) or roll back of server roles

In this scenario, you can protect the server by performing a System State Backup or a BMR backup. You would then recover the server by performing a System State Recovery from the started operating system.
System State Recovery after a new installation of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on new hardware or the same hardware
This kind of recovery is not supported.

Windows Server Backup does not block recovery on a newly-installed operating system. Instead, it warns that this operation is not supported. This feature is used only as a last-ditch support effort to reclaim data from a failed server and is not a supported backup feature.

System State Recovery is only supported on the same operating system instance. It is not supported on a reinstalled operating system on the same or different hardware.
The following table outlines supported and unsupported system recovery scenarios.
Scenario    Supported
System State Recovery to the same instance of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2    Yes
System State Recovery after BMR / Full Server restore to the same hardware    Yes
System State Recovery after BMR / Full Server restore to different hardware    No
System State Recovery after Full Server restore (without BMR) to the same or different hardware    No
System State Recovery after a new installation of Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on new hardware or same hardware    No

Note Windows Server Backup ensures that the system boots successfully after the BMR restore process. Applications/Roles that rely on hardware-specific identifiers like NIC address, and so on, may require additional reconfiguration or recovery to make them functional.
