Hello!
I am trying to get WSB to backup Hyper-V VM's on a CSV. I am told that this is possible with Windows 2012 (http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=12976,http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj614621, etc.) although there are plenty of posts which say that it's not possible as well. Here is the error that I get in the Windows Backup Log (C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup):
Application backup
Writer Id: {66841CD4-6DED-4F4B-8F17-FD23F8DDC3DE}
Component: 7C63A286-4775-479D-A63B-BE036149F826
Caption : Backup Using Child Partition Snapshot\Routing-VM
Logical Path:
Error : 80780175
Error Message : Component was skipped from volume shadow copy.
Detailed Error : 80780189
Detailed Error Message : Windows Backup cannot backup an application with files on a CSV volume.
Here is my backup command (from an elevated command prompt):
wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:\\server1\usb-backup -hyperv:"Routing-VM"
The CSV volume is running on a HP MSA P2000 SAN. I don't know if the VSS drivers were installed for the SAN or not.
Is this backup possible to do? If so, can anyone give me some direction? I really would appreciate the help!
Thanks.. dave
