Hi,
We're attempting to back up parts of a Windows Server 2008 R2 installation running under a virtual machine (*). We've tried using the Windows Server Backup that comes as standard with 2008 R2, but haven't been able to get it to work.
Accessing the server via Remote Desktop, I attempt to back up a folder onto one of my local drives (showing as a network share on that machine) but get "Backup failed to complete" and "The requested operation could
not be completed due to a file system limitation". (The share is writable via the server, as I can create and edit a new text file there).
The Event Log isn't much more informative:-
The backup operation that started at '2015-05-18T10:44:13.093750000Z' has failed with following error code '2155348041' (None of the source volumes were backed up.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
Any hints as to what might be going wrong here would be appreciated- thank you!
