The C: drive on a server was running low on space and after all other attempts to free up space, I used a 3rd party (EASEUS) partition management software to shrink (and move) the E: drive so that the C: drive could be expanded. That process went fine, but now DPM 2012 cannot connect to the E: drive since the GUID (the globally unique ID that never changes) has been changed.
Is there a way to either change the GUID on the E: drive back to what it was, or change the GUID references within DPM 2012 to reference the new GUID. If not, I'll have to add new protection for the E: drive and also setup the secondary protection (in a DR facility) as well. Eventually I would want to remove all the old DPM data related to the "old" E: drive since it wastes a lot of disk space in both locations.
The protected volume \\?\Volume{e6d1f33a-9131-11df-93d2-806e6f6e6963}\ on servername.ad.domain.com could not be accessed. The volume may have been removed or dismounted, or another process may be exclusively using it. (ID 55 Details: The system cannot find the path specified (0x80070003))
Running mountvol now shows the following volumes on this server. Note that the last item is the GUID listed above and is now tied to a non-existent partition with drive letter D:, which actually is the DVD drive. The E: drive now has a different GUID than it did originally.
