Hallo,
When we try to do a GRE restore from our sharepoint environment, we receive the error Specified cast is not valid.
We are using hp dp 9.0 build 100, sharepoint 2013 v 15.0.4569.1506.
Cell mgr: windows 2008 r2 ent (6.1 build 7601 sp1)
SP Sql srv : W2012R2 (6.3 build 9600) SQL 2012
SP applic : W2012R2 (6.3 build 9600)
The problem occurs in a newly created environment, with any random component we try to restore.
I dont know where to look further. It seems an sql issue, but the gre is started from within the sharepoint environment.
As backup software we use hp dataprotector. When I google it seams an sql related error, but no idea what to adjust or change or... If I execute the restore as the sp_farm user or my own user (Im farm admin, local admin on the servers and backup admin in dataprotector) I receive the same error message.
A sql backup and restore works fine. Can anyone point me to the right direction? or someone who had the same issue?
Thanks a lot for your help.
