"one or more server hard drives must be checked for errors" every day when backup occurs

October 19, 2014, 12:20 pm

≪ Previous: Failure while compacting the virtual disk on the backup location

This is on Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials specifically. But I saw the same behavior on 2012 Essentials before switching.

Both on the Dashboard's alerts and daily health reports, it indicates that one or more drives are unhealthy and need to be fixed. However, it does not list any disk specifically. This occurs several minutes after the backups are scheduled, and will change when it happens if I change the time for the backups.

This happens EVERY DAY. Deleting or ignoring the reports just cause it to come back. Disabling backups, or disconnecting the drive they're stored on doesn't fix it. Neither does formatting the drive and setting up backups again.

I've not found any specific errors, and I've scanned the system partitions using their volume ID, and that hasn't helped.

No virus scanner nor disk tools are installed. There are no 3rd party file system filters installed either.

The Event Viewer doesn't indicate any issues specifically either.

This is frustrating and annoying.

Restore Shadow Copies

During a restore using the shadow copy function Windows decided to remove the files , see eventlog message below :

The shadow copies of volume D: 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.

Is there a way to ''undo'' this action? Or recover the shadow copy files?

I don't wish to use the Windows Server Backup feature because it convert the backup files into image file. I need it just to create a new folder every time it backup/copy my files from the server to the network storage. Without overwrite it the old files.

I have read the threads above but the discussion is beyond my technical abilities. My problem is that every time I turn on my computer it attempts to install downloads from the last time I turned it off. Near the end of that process it says that it is unable to configure Windows to accept the downloads and reverts to the previous version of Windows without the update. This considerably increases the time to turn on the machine. I ran the Windows Update trouble shooter but it came back with "Windows update error Ox80070057". My question is where should I take my computer to fix this problem?

I am trying to recover a couple files that were originally installed on a client computer. I since have reformatted that computer. It was connected to my Windows 2012 essentials server via connector software and backups were done. When trying to access the old backups, I couldn't get to the files I need. I tried to do a complete restore from a USB device to another computer and it wouldn't recognize the data to be restored, it couldn't even recognize any of the backup files. I have the .DAT files, but can't get the data out of them. An ideas on how to get that information from the DAT files? The backup was from right before I changed the system over, so not very old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Hello,

Sounds simple to me but I want to be sure on what I'm doing.

We have many sites with a domain controller at each location. The DC with all the FSMO roles is here at Corp. I need to move one of our member DC controller at a different site to new hardware. It is a Global Catalog, DNS, DHCP and file server.

Can I do this by using windows backup to back up System State, Bare Metal Recovery, System Reserve and Local Disk C: (Full Server) and restore it to the new Hardware as long as my HDD are same or bigger? Please remember this is a member DC.

I really hope to avoid the demotion of the current member DC and installing a fresh OS on the new hardware and promoting that to a DC.

Thanks
