You may receive an event ID 12289 when importing a snapshot to another server which has a floppy disk drive

When a transportable shadow copy is imported to another server which has an unused floppy disk drive, an application event log 12289 is logged, even through import is successful. This is also observed in guest VMs.

The logging of event ID 12289 is determined to be of no significance in the importation of the transportable shadow copy, and successful completion.

In other words, if the import of the transportable shadow-copy was logged as successful in your 3rd party Storage Backup application, you may safely ignore this error log. Your application continued successfully to complete mounting the volume 

- Even though you receive this error, the transportable shadow-copy is normally completed.
- The data should be safely imported regardless of this event ID logging.
