Windows Boot Manager don't boot after disk restore from Boot media Backupper Server 2.8

Hi,

I made a Disk backup and restore of a Server 2012 R2 systemfrom a HP ProLiant server with UEFI enabled. All the backup and restore processterminate correctly, but when I reboot, the Windows Boot Manage have been skip andthe system go through all the boot devices list until it reach the OS partitionand boot correctly.

Digging around Microsoft documentation about the BootManager, the output of the command bcdedit show me that there was no device assignedto the Boot Manager while there is one after the server installation (via theIntelligent Provisioning)

If I manually add the device to the boot manager, the serverboot correctly

Bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume2

The boot manager partition is actually a hidden one with nodrive letter assign. Do we need to assign a drive letter to allow backuppersave information correctly? (Like the C: drive?)

 

Thanks
