Hello,
We are using windows server 2012 R2 as domain controller and exchange server 2013 installed on this server.
Today our server operating system crashed and stuck in restarting loop with the error code 0xc000021a.
We tried repairing system file, registry, ran sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f /r and many other things but nothing work.
Then we formatted c drive and tried to recovery from bare metal image which is on e drive that to failed.
Please provide some solution.
Thanks,
Feroz
I have tried to run a bare metal backup on 2 servers now. 2016 Server with Hyper-V with 1 VM(MS SQL) and an RD server with 2016 server. Both have failed.
So... I find it funny that there is a dedicated forum to Windows Server backup and what the hell am I doing wrong. Both servers throw and error something along the lines of: "
Backup of volume C: has failed. The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted and must not be sparse.
Is this telling me I need to move all VMs and RD's to a secondary volume?
Our architect specified servers for new AD forest and domain. ADDS is to be installed to D:\Windows\NTDS (not the default C:\Windows\NTDS). These are VMs and a cloud provider will be backing up the VMs by snapshot. I suspect the backups of the VMs will be trustworthy, but I always like to have my own Microsoft-specified and supported backup in my back pocket for when the complete disaster arrives - I'm still covered, even if the cloud provider fails.
In the past I've used the usual Windows Server Backup, ran a scripted backup that performs a System State Backup of C: (which would have contained C:\Windows\NTDS and all of Active Directory). But now I have to also back up D:\Windows\NTDS and System State Backup will not be backing up D:.
What is the recommendation?
Here is the essential working section from the scripted backup:
WBADMIN Delete SystemStateBackup -KeepVersions:1 -Quiet >> %MyLogFile%Notice that my script cleans up the destination volume E: to minimize the size of the backup and to ensure there is free space prior to starting the backup. WBADMIN does not have an equivalent "Delete" option for non-SystemStateBackup backups.

Hello,
So I have seen many articles on how to copy one file to multiple computers, but I want to know just the opposite.
If I was wanting to copy multiple user data stored on local C drive of computers within my AD environment, can I simply move the data to individual users home directories that exist on a NAS?
Is there some way I can tie in Robocopy to a group of computer devices and run some commands?
I'm trying to find out if this is a singular process meaning one computer at a time or can I do it all at once.
TIA
We have several smaller to midsized customers that have invested money in tape drives and tapes. They are using Symantec BackupExec on Server 2003 / 2008 and 2008 R2. Unfortunately, Symantec postponed Server 2012 support in their products many times already. This fact costs us many business opportunities to upgrade infrastructures to Server 2012.
DPM 2012 is good for larger customers, but less suited for smaller companies (and the DPM "philosophy change" of the backup procedures, compared to older tape based backup solutions is an obstacle as well.)
So we are looking for EASY backup solutions that support tape drives and server 2012. The "perfect" product for us would be just a tape driver and an extension to the integrated Windows Server Backup that would allow to store backups on tapes, the same way that Windows Backup allows backups to network shared folders.
Does anyone knows EASY backup software that provides this functionality? I'm also very interested in feedback from peoples that have successfully used such products on Server 2012 and are satisfied with them.
Thank you all in advance for any help.

Running Windows Backup on a Windows Server 2012 to a Network share
I think the backup is completing & is listed in ALL Backups but I see the message
"Event Log is inaccessible. Only messages for currently running operations will be displayed."
Any ideas how to fix the issue?

Description:
This directory partition has not been backed up since at least the following number of days.
Directory partition: DC=server,DC=local
'Backup latency interval' (days): 90
==================================================================
Since we have an old external tape backup drive on another server, data is copied to this file from the above server through robcopy every night.
To fix above issue, we need to do systemstatebackup for all DC. Right?
If we do schedule job "wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:d -quiet" everyday, I've the following questions.
Q1: Can D:\WindowsImageBackup be rocopy to anohter drive for backup (eg. external HDD or tape)? Is it safe?
Q2: Running "wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:d -quiet" needs around 2 hours first time. How to set it to backup as differential or incremental backup?
Q3: Since we have another robcopy data backup on daily time, can we run systemstatebackup every Sunday only?
Q4: Is it recommend to run systemstatebackup for all DC separately?
Please advise.
Hi
Need to backup folder to folder in local server 2012 r2, my need will have to same folder name , i want to without active directory DFS system. so i want to incremental backup system, i hope your advice.
Is there a difference between
WBADMIN START BACKUP -allCritical -SystemState
VS
WBADMIN SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP
True or false? Sounds like to me they both perform a Bare Metal Recovery AS well as a system state recovery ( and system state contains users info)
Also I have WBADMIN START BACKUP as a scheduled task running every saturday 0300hr at drive path D,after the first backup is every successive backup either an incremental or differential backup? or is it a complete re-write of the existing backup in that path? Or an entirely new backup
I am concerned about drive space.
Thank you in advance.

I am facing Backup error from last few days, Error Code 0x80780102. after lot of online search I think its directory Limit error in .Net Framework, so when I modify backup and remove option of BareMetal / C Drive and System Reserved Files, its working now.
What is other alternate Solution because System Backup is Also Important.

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server named Server that runs a backup each night to an encrypted USB drive attached to the server. I shared the drive on the server as shown below and configured Windows Server Backup to backup to the local shared folder.
Everything worked well for several months with the backup speeds being about 1 GB/min (15 to 20 MB/s). At the beginning of this week, I noticed that the backup speeds reduced to 1 to 2 MB/s which resulted in the backup not completing before the encrypted disk was automatically dismounted.
After much research and testing, I believe that I have narrowed down the cause of the issue to an issue writing data to the local UNC path of \\Server\Backup as shown by comparing the following tests.
Test 1
The above DOS command copies the file to the encrypted drive mounted at h:\ quickly.
Test 2
The above DOS command copies the data to the same location but was 33x slower that the Test 1 DOS command.
I duplicated the above results using the xcopy command instead of the copy command but could not duplicate the above results on my Windows 7 computer. On my Windows 7 computer, the two versions of the copy performed the same.
The following are some additional observations:
Can i use Resilient Change Tracking with Windows Server Backup? - If yes, how?
I did a backup on Hyper-v Server 2016 with performance set to incremental to an internal volume. I expected to see files like *.mrt and *.rct in the directory of the virtual hard disks, but there isn't.
Any links to that topic are welcome.
Thanks, S.
Hi All,
Recently my windows server backup 2011 have an error:
1. (Disk does not have drive letter)9\\?\\Volume{291aacb7-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx}\) on select item setting backup schedule.
2. Only backup drive C and didn't backup drive D: (\\?\\Volume {9f08153f-5fcf-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx}\)
3. Errors message \\?\\Volume {9f08153f-5fcf-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx} The system cannot find the file specified.
Before error, I did disable shadow copy because run of space and not turn back on.
Any advice?
Thank you
Recovering from a physical server failure on to Hyper-V running Windows 2008 R2 SP1. Single volume in the backup, restore from network share which completes successfully. Have ensured drive size is provisioned as larger then physical drives. Restore completes successfully but is allocating 100mb system partition to C: and my OS partition to D:. On reboot it flashes up with a stop 0x0000007B error.
I've tried a number of different things from posts but must be missing something here. In regards to the swapped drives I following the instructions to modify bcdedit changes as follows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2261423/error-message-when-you-restart-windows-server-2008-r2-after-you-perfor
The bcdedit changes seem to apply ok but the drives are still swapped after reboot. Manually changing in diskpart and regedit (per: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/223188/how-to-restore-the-system-boot-drive-letter-in-windows ) also doesn't seem to fix the swapped drives.
I believe the 7B error could be due to disk drivers on the physical server but I was trying to address the drive allocation error first, however strangely enough after making the above bcdedit changes it looks like the 7B error isn't flashing on startup anymore.
Appreciate any guidance on the drive letter issue. From other servers system partition should be hidden with no drive letter and OS should be C: but can't seem to get any changes to stick. Happy to share any details as needed. Thanks.
