System-state Backup from DPM on a Windows Server 2008 Standard fails with error code 2155413760

$

Hi Folks ,

Windows Server Backup on a Server 2008 Standard , running through DPM. The error code is 2155413760 with event id 546 . The backup fails . 

Troubleshooting Steps Performed :

  • Tried to do a normal windows server back - No luck
  • Checked on the event log , figured out the error code and the bloggers suggest the issue is with the file permisions on the WInSXS folder in Windir
  • MS has file permissions reset recommendations : checked on the file permissions and the file permissions are intact .
  • List vssadmin list writers does not list the System Writer.

The server is hosted in the remote location and presently running the DC , DHCP and fileserver roles . 

Any further troubleshooting steps or assistance will be appreciated.

0x800423f8 error in vshadow commands

l develop two vss hardware provider. When l register one to vss service and execute "vshadow -p e:", the result is normal. However when l register the other and execute "vshadow -p e:", the command is giving the following error :

Creating the shadow (DoSnapshotSet)...
(Waiting for the asynchronous operation to finish...)
ERROR: during the last asynchronous operation.
- Returned HRESULT = 0x800423f8
- Error text: <Unknown error code>
- Please re-run VSHADOW.EXE with the /tracing option to get more details

In the event viewer, error event 12362 generate when abnormal. 
EVENTVIEWER 12362:
A Shadow Copy LUN was not detected in the system and did not arrive.

Operation:
   Exposing Disks
   Locating shadow-copy LUNs
   PostSnapshot Event
   Executing Asynchronous Operation

Context:
   Execution Context: Provider
   Current State: DoSnapshotSet

With vsstrace I found that the snapshot destination disk reported the following error log many times when l failed.

       "We find arrived disk \\?\SCSI#Disk&XXXX has no LUN id and is not a snapshot disk arrival."

When l was successful, the snapshot destination disk reported the following log.

      "{XXXX} is in state 1 and has LUN id {XXXX} and disk no 2."

My OS is Windows Server 2016 Standard.All my writers are stable and no error.

What is the possible cause of 0x800423f8 error? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks


-exclude multiple instances of a folder?

$
0
0

I'm looking to have a logoff or shutdown script run wbadmin and back up my user profile folder, and a few folders here and there like my development web server's DocumentRoot. As I do JavaScript development with Node.js/npm and .NET development with NuGet to manage third-party libraries, I would like to not include the "node_modules" or "packages" folders that the package managers put the libraries into, since the code in them is easily retrievable and it'll save time to not back them up.

If I do something like "wbadmin -include:C:\Users\me,C:\xampp\htdocs -exclude:C:\*\node_modules,C:\*\Projects\*\packages", will that result in every node_modules being ignored, as well as any "packages" folder in my Visual Studio projects folders? Or is this not possible?

How to set up multiple Windows Server backup scenarios - schedule more than one plan?

$
0
0

I've read that it's possible to run multiple scenarios of a backup?

I know that GUI (Windows Server Backup app) will only let you schedule just one backup plan.

I would like to plan something a bit more complex and would like to know how to do it.

I have two 4TB external drives and one Windows 2016 Server with one VM (3 volumes).

I would like to set up daily VSS Full backup for Monday-Friday.

On Saturday I would like to make a copy of Drive1 to Drive2, then set up new VSS full backup of the server on Drive1.

Reason for this is that VSS full backup won't save whole images each day, even if it's full backup (it only writes down differentials).

So I would like to ideally have is two full copies of server once a week and those differentials from Monday to Friday.

Volume Shadow Copies - Limited Number of Copies?

$

0

I have two servers that seem to be artificially limited on the number of copies:

  • Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
  • 6 copies
  • 50GB is allocated and plenty of disk space to use that much
  • 8GB in use

  • Server 2012 R2
  • 10 copies
  • 100GB is allocated and plenty of disk space to use that much
  • 10GB in use

MaxShadowCopies is not configured on either. We do 2 copies a day. Neither seem to have skipped or missed a copy, but appear to just be "truncated" before they reached the disk limit.



the volume shadow copy service entered the stopped state 7036

Problems with System Writer on Windows Server Enterprise

Hi everyone,

I got a problem when I use Avamar on some servers, only Windows Server Enterprise. The backup is not working, and when I'm looking into logs, I can see that I got an error about "System Writer". Indeed, when I launch "vssadmin list writers", I should see "System writer" but I don't.

I searched on internet to get some solutions, like giving some rights on some folders, but it changed nothing and then I saw that I could install the Fix484021 to fix it. But... the fix isn't working on my OS :( (link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2911752/system-writer-is-missing-and-backups-fail-in-windows-server-2008)

I tried to contact the support by chat, but I don't get an answer from it because it's laggy.

Waiting for help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Clément.

this error on two servers that have windows 2008 r2 sp1

The backup failed. The RPC server is unavailable (0x800706BA)

$

After the Windows 10 version 1803 upgrade on April 30, 2018, my System Image Backup keeps failing withe two messages. "The backup failed" "The RPC server is unavailable (0x800706BA)".

Note that the System Image Backup worked before the upgrade. The upgrade completed OK and I have not found any other issues.

I checked that =1= The RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service in Services is active and running and =2= the DCOM (Distributed COM) is enabled. There used to be a SYSTEM disk when I did the defrag, the defrag does not show the SYSTEM disk in version 1803.

Is it a bug, or is there a fix or should I try the Image Recovery (that might fail as well).

WBADMIN - Access denied when carrying out backup operations from commandline

$

Hi,

We have a situation while using WBADMIN in a scheduled task. We have a user, called Admin that belongs to the Domain Administrators. There's a task that performs a backup to a USB hard disk, defined in the Scheduled Tasks.

This is the command line

wbadmin start backup -BackupTarget:F: -include:C:, E: -allcriticall -SystemState -quiet

The operating system is Windows Server 2012.

The task is set to run with highest privileges and regardless if the user is logged on or not.

The task doesn't execute, however the command line does run if we run CMD as Administrator and execute the above command.

How can we solve this?

Best Regards,

Nélio Abreu

"Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination" when trying to backup to Backup Once to Samba share on NAS

$
0
0

Environment:

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials running in VirtualBox in a Windows 7 host. Networking is configured and works fine.

Background:

My only backup needs are to copy the contents of two folders to a NAS folder every day at 2 AM.

I configured a backup schedule in Windows Server Backup (wbadmin) to a network location which is hosted as a Samba share on a Synology NAS.

For authentication, I created a backup user which has the same username and password as a user on the Samba share, with permission to read and write the backup folder. I added this user to the Backup Operators group.

Problem:

When I try to run the Backup Once operation to test my backup, I get the following error message:

"Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination."

What I've tried:

I verified that the location is directly accessible in Windows by copying and pasting the address from the Windows Server Backup destination into explorer. Providing the backup user credentials opened the location and creating/reading files worked fine.

Adding the backup user to the Administrators group did not have an effect.

Update 2014-02-18

I checked the backup destination and was surprised to find that the scheduled backup actually completes successfully.However, Backup Once always results in the above error message. So the problem is confined to the "Backup Once" operation.

Restore server backup on different PC - possible?

$

I'm trying to restore some files from server backup on different PC.

Is this possible?

Backup was done on Windows server 2016.

I'm trying to restore some files on different PC, with Windows 10 Ent 2018.

I typed this command: 

D:\>wbadmin start recovery -version:06/11/2018-20:00 -itemtype:File -items:'e:\stuff' -backuptarget:f: -recoverytarget:D:

Here is what I'm getting:

wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Warning:  The START RECOVERY command is not supported in this version of Windows.
The operation ended before completion.

Does it mean that recovery of single files or parts of backup can be done only on servers?



Read-only flags in vshadow copy service

$
0
0

After reading the windows vshadow copy service documentation about read-only flag,

>>Immediately after IVssProviderCreateSnapshotSet::EndPrepareSnapshots, VSS will set the read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy flags on all affected LUNs. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/desktop/VSS/the-shadow-copy-creation-process

I have the following doubts.

In my opinion, the read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy flags are set in volume rather than disk. As I execute attribute volume command of Diskpart, the result will show the situation of read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy on the volume. 

But if my understanding is right, the copy will be executed during CommitSnapshots. During CommitSnapshots, the new volume(A copy of the volume of the source disk) on target disk will be produced. CommitSnapshots is executed after EndPrepareSnapshots. The flag of the new volume is the same with the falg in EndPrepareSnapshots ?
And if volume does not exist in EndPrepareSnapshots, how to set read-only, shadow copy flag?

If my thoughts are wrong, wlecome to correct me and any help is appreciated.

Thanks
