Acronis - VM recovery of UEFI machine to Hyper-v 2012r2 does not boot

Overview:

• Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 does not support exporting to Hyper-v Gen2 machines.
• When you recover a machine using UEFI to boot to a Hyper-V 2012r2 host,  a Gen1 machine is created but it does not properly convert the backup to use BIOS booting.
• The result is that the machine is not able to boot.

This issue is known to Acronis and they are working on a resolution.

Work around:

Work around this issue by creating a normal VM recovery. Once the VM recovery has finished, open the Hyper-v console and create a new Gen2 VM. Instead of creating a new disk, select the disk that was created by the Acronis VM recovery. Boot the new Gen2 machine.
