Windows Server 2012 R2. Trying to back up C: drive to a remote shared folder. Each time I try to run it, it fails saying " The parameter is incorrect."

I have tried multiple different settings. I've tried different folder combinations. I tried renaming and moving and even starting fresh with a new destination directory. I have tried uninstalling WBadmin and reinstalling it after the reboot. Same error.

This is the error report associated with one of the many failures. I censored out the computer name and destination names. I'll provide any additional information I can that would help lead to a resolution.

Thank you.

Backup Too Large?

March 18, 2016, 3:38 pm

≫ Next: How can I validate a Windows System Backup

≪ Previous: Backup Failure - Parameter is Incorrect

Hello,

For many years I backed up my Win 7 Pro (desktop) to a 1 TB peripheral hard drive without problems. Perhaps a year (or more) ago I began having difficulty with the files being "too large" to back up - although there should have been sufficient space. I switched to just backing up a system image & storing copies of large files on it. I recently had a major crash and had to do a clean reinstall, which I've now completed and figured that whatever was ailing the Windows backup program before, should now be resolved.

Last night I initiated a full backup of my C:drive (450 GB of data) to the 1 TB peripheral drive with only 93 GB on it (i.e.; 838 GB free). The program ran all night and by mid-morning the peripheral drive was filled and the backup couldn't be completed.

Comments, suggestions?

Thanks.

How can I validate a Windows System Backup

≪ Previous: Backup Too Large?

In a computer security course that I'm taking it's pointed out that backups should be verified for integrity. The methodology that's recommended is to create a before and after hash of the backup. I can understand how that can be done with straight file backups but for a system image I don't understand how that can be done.

That said, I do feel that it would be wise to somehow validate a "Bare Metal Recovery" backup (which is what I'm doing), but I can't find any "HOW TOs" for that.

I'd be grateful for some assistance in this.

Searched around and have seen others with this issue but no real solutions.

I have a 14TB Deduplicated volume that loses its vss about once a month. I just lost this lasts night and have seen some interesting stuff.

First the error

The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.

Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.

PS C:\Windows\system32> vssadmin list shadowstorage /for=e:

If i look at previous versions i only show the snapshot from this morning at 7:00 AM

However if i type vssadmin list shadows. it shows 30+ Contents of shadow copy set ID.

I am starting to run low on space but i still have over 20% free and over 3.1TB of space.

Any ideas here?

I'm getting this error when I try to check a backup stored on a NAS. When I attempt to recover from it, I pick "A backup stored on another location" then "Remote shared folder".

I put in the path: \\192.168.16.17\public\server\2014-01-24

And what I get is the above error message: "The specified path is not a remote shared folder"

The path clearly is a remote shared folder. If I paste it into explorer it opens fine, and I can copy/delete files from it. What gives?

Doing Windows Server Backup to external USB hard drive, one for each night of the week.

≫ Next: Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified

≪ Previous: Windows server backup (local) fails the online backup of Hyper V

I'm sure this has been answered before, but wanted to ask anyway.

I use Symantec Backup Exec regularly to external USB hard drives. As a secondary/safety I will also use the internal 2008 Server Backup program. With Symantec I do a full system backup on Friday nights and incremental backups Monday - Thursday. The incremental usually only takes 15-30 minutes. When that job finishes I will log into the server and start the built in Windows Server backup. I usually do a full server backup which then creates the "WindowsImageBackup" folder on my external hard drive. What I've normally been doing is deleting that folder each night on that particular night's USB drive and re-run a full server backup, roughly (600+ GB), which runs overnight.

Now if I don't delete that folder and run the backup I'm assuming this is an incremental backup and generally I see about 60+ GB being backed up. Is this 60GB worth of data that has changed since the last full backup? I guess my question here is that backup from the original full backup and the changes made from the week following is still a full backup as of that evening? Or am I only able to restore just the changes from the previous week?

Maybe I'm doing overkill here, but if I run a full system backup using the Windows Server backup I feel safer that I have a full backup from every evening. Over the weekend if I have time I have a dedicated USB drive that contains a full Windows Server Backup, while my other drives share the Symatec Backup Exec incremental saves and my Windows Server Backup.

I support a developer who has Windows Server 2008 R2 and who is attempting to run Windows Server Backup V1.0. Manual backups work without any problems. For about two weeks automated backups worked but now whenever we attempt to schedule a backup, we receive the error “Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified.” We’ve been picking the backup drive from the list of available drives which Windows Server Backup provides. We have tried storing the backup on two different USB drives and onto a location on a server. We also tried running the scheduled backup from the command prompt but always received that same “Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified” error. We are logged in as an administrator. We have tried dedicating the external drive to backups and having it not dedicated. Windows Server Backup is able to find the drive to format it but cannot find the drive to back up. The destination drive is formatted NTFS and the total size to be backed up is about 200 gig. Any ideas?

Backup Strategies for Client Backups Stored on Server Disk and ReFS Drives

≫ Next: Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM guest backup always fresh

≪ Previous: Windows Server Backup: The system cannot find the path specified

Hi all,

I have a server running server 2012 r2 with the essentials role installed. There are several clients attached to the domain which are configure to regularly backup to the essentials server (on a 5TB ReFS volume) and the server also hosts redirected folders for the clients along with a fairly large (for a home anyway) collection of music and photos etc all stored on ReFS formatted volumes.

I have purchased a couple of 5TB external drives which I intend to use as additional backup drives which I will rotate so that there is always one in a location away from the house.

The issue I have is with configuring backups onto the external drives. As I see it I have two issues - ReFS drives do not allow incremental backups and I cannot configure a subset of client backups to be backed up onto the external drives. This means that the external drives will run out of space after a very small set of backups which limits their usefulness.

Any suggestions on how to best configure this sort of backup?

There has been no explicit volume size change, however these VM all use Dynamically expanding virtual hard disk (VDHX).

The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares. When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:

“failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”

Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location. This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share. Then the error changed to this:
