Windows Backup After Reboot

0
0
Hello,
I have a problem with Windows Backup on Windows Server 2012 R2. I'm using Windows Backup for backing up my Hyper-V virtual machines and "Host Component". I'm using planned backup with dedicated external harddrive. Everything works fine, until I reboot host server. After reboot, backup stops working with error code 0x80780049. What helps is deleting and recreating planned backup job, but I can't recreate backup jobs on every Hyper-V host after every reboot. Has someone an idea what can cause this?

Thank you..


VSS Full Backup - what's 'really' going on?

0
0

I have taken over in a new role and found that while backups were being conducted on a regular basis, the backup solution was not VSS aware and almost 1TB of log files had accrued since Exchange was installed in 2011!

I have implemented the use of the Windows Server Backup utility on the Windows 2008 R2 server that hosts Exchange 2010.

After verifying that I had achieved consistency within the mail databases, I scheduled a Full VSS Backup to run every night to a series of externally attached USB hard drives, and was happy to see that each days Exchange log files are now being flushed after each back up.

However, when reviewing the backup reports within Windows Server backup utility, I note that each backup following the initial FULL backup to each hard drive is referred to as Incremental? I was under the impression that in specifying a VSS FULL Backup, any existing backup found within the WindowsImageBackup folder on the backup media would be overwritten in it's entirety but it seems that the existing Full backup is instead being 'modified' by each subsequent backup?

Also, the collective size of the .vhd files created on the backup media is significantly larger than the space shown within Windows Explorer as 'used' on each of the volumes backed up?

Could someone please explain these apparent anomalies? - Thanks



Windows 2012 Server Backup Problems - VSS Error

0
0

      Our company uses Windows Server Backup to back up our Windows 2012 Server.  We back up the host component and the two virtual machines on the server.  Every time I install windows updates on our server my backup jobs stop working and I get a VSS error.  In order to get backup working again, I have to recreate my backup job.  In order to do this I have to attach all the backup drives to the computer at the same time.  This has been an issue all the way back to when the server was first installed.  At that time the person who installed Windows Server talked to Microsoft.  Microsoft said the problem would be fixed in the first service pack which they ended up never releasing.  I have looked online, but haven’t found any information on these issues.  Are there any fixes for these two problems?

Backup to External HDD with Task Scheduler

0
0

Hi there,

I have recently configured a server to run a normal scheduled backup from one internal HDD to a second internal HDD with no problem.

I then created a secondary backup from the first internal HDD to an external USB HDD via the task scheduler which initially worked for the first two backups, creating an incremental copy of the correct files.

The third day it tried to backup at the scheduled time of 2am, it failed and has continued to fail ever since - the error reports "Failed to create directory". This external backup drive has not been modified, not been disconnected and reconnected, is used for nothing else but these simple backups.

In short, the scheduled backup is meant to copy a folder from C: drive to the E: drive (the external) at 2am each day of the week. ie C:\Folder -> E:

I have viewed all of the guides on creating scheduled backups with task scheduler and know the syntax well enough so literally have no idea why all of a sudden they have stopped. There is more than adequate space on the drive - approx 30GB being copied to a 500GB drive.

If someone would be able to give me an idea or provide me with a task schedule command to create this backup that would be excellent.

Assuming that incremental backups are the only option - is it possible to create full entire backups each time? Following on from that - once the destination drive is full am I right in assuming Windows Server 2012 would be smart enough to delete the oldest data and continue to back up?

Kind Regards,

Ewan

Trying to use new 500GB external hard drive for backup for first time

I'm doing our normal Clonezilla Backup procedure and ran out of disk space for the first time.  The normal person who does this is on vacation.  I put the new hard drive in for the backup, but when I ran Clonezilla it didn't recognize it.  I looked in Server Manger and it shows it as Unknown with a red arrow and not initialized.  It's shown as unallocated.  What do I need to do at this point?  Do you have instructions or a link to instructions?  I'm new to working with servers, etc.  I probably need to format the new external drive but I'm not sure how.  This is a simple server, without VM's, etc.

Thanks!

Third-party backup software

Hello,

  I have just read that you can restore Windows 2008 to a different hardware, like Windows 7.

  I was wondering: Is there the need of third-party software anymore?. I mean, you just backup the whole system in a network share or a san volume or elsewhere (outside the 2008 box), and that is that, no Acronis anymore.

  Am I missing something?. To me, it looks so great.

Thanks in advance!

Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

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:

“failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is. Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

unable to configure backup server 2012 Essentials - invalid format and cannot be protected

I get an error trying to configure backup on Server 2012 Essentials - only volumes formatted with NTFS/ReFS can be protected.

I checked disk management and see a Fat32 drive called OS - it this safe to delete or format NTFS? It is a 2GB Partition that I believe shipped with the server from Dell. If I remove or reformat would I be able to configure the backup?

I checked 3 other WS2012E that I support and none have an FAT32 partitions and the backup setup works great.

Hi, trying to backup system image using SCDPM 2010 RTM.Most of the server are getting healthy backups except for this one server which is giving error:

Things I have tried:

1. I tried to backup manually to external HDD using wsb snap-in, but it has failed in the same way.

2. Stop and re-add protection.

3. I have researched the error, some results suggest that some bad sectors might exist, however, when I run the command, it forces me to schedule the command on next boot. when I reboot, it loads windows after that gives a message "Cannot open the volume for direct access"

How to end this loop? please help. Thanks for considering my question ...


"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.

Thank you

Hello,

I have a Problem when I try to make Backups to Partition C in Windows Server 2008 R2:Error The Data is Invalid.

Obs: I can make backups for System Reserved Partition .

I had the same problem 2 months ago (the data is invalid), Then I folowed this the advice to delete "Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files" and worked for me , from this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/89052b85-9c9b-479f-ab76-a20da3cc4696

Now I have the same problem and I delete the Temporary ASP.NET Files , but it is not working , I received the same error on backup:

"The backup operation that started at '‎2012‎-‎09‎-‎20T07:13:26.024163900Z' has failed with following error code '2147942413'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved."

When I try vssadmin list writers, Everything is ok , "No error" .

I tried to run :

net stop "System Event Notification Service"
net stop "COM+ Event System"
net stop "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider"
net stop "Volume Shadow Copy"
cd /d %windir%\system32
net stop vss
net stop swprv
regsvr32 /s ole32.dll
regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 /s vss_ps.dll
vssvc /register
regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 /s es.dll

IIS 6.0 stops and aspx applications become unavailable

0
0

It have two Windows 2003 Servers running IIS 6.0. my aspx applications become unavailable when the IIS stops responding to web users. The only way to make them available is after rebooting the server.

I already change permissions and change the recycle time of the application pool to 20 minutes, and I am still having the problem daily.
