The CommServe computer must not be configured as the proxy computer.

You must enable the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) on the source computer so that you can access the restored virtual machine.
-
Configure block-level backups for the client computer. For more information, see Configuring a Subclient for Block-Level Backups for the Windows File System Agent.
-
Microsoft Azure Stack does not support Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) firmware, so Virtualize Me of source machines in UEFI firmware mode is not supported.
