Hello everyone,
I have having issues getting system state backups to work with DPM. I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to resolve this. Both DPM 2012 R2 and the 2012 R2 server have the latest service packs and updates. The server can successfully complete a wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:C: and all vss wirters are in state stable . After completing the wbamdin I go to the DPM console and start the system state backup. It fails in about 5 minutes. Then on the server i am backing up I run vssadmin list writers and many of the writers are in state 7 failed. If i reset the writers repeat the test I get the same results. Any ideas on what is going on?
Thanks!
