Windows Server Back-up loses it's schedule after reboot

$

0

Hi,

We are using Windows Back-up for creating backups.
But every time we reboot the server, the schedule is gone.
The event logs show no errors and the backups are done according to the schedule.

We also have Back-up Exec 2010 R3 installed on the server (but we don't use it anymore)

Does someone have encountered this problem?

Kind regards,
Francois

Files and folders backup is failing with error that directory is not found

$

Hi,

We have a Windows 2008 R2 Site appliance where our users personal data and other application data are stored in a particular drive. Each weekend we do the full backup of that drive using Symantec Backup exec 2012 SP3. But recently we found that for last one month the backups are failing with an error that "V-79-57344-65033 : Directory not found. Cannot backup directory ... and its subdirectories". Although the directories are present there. If I am excluding that directory from backup selection then next time it is giving error for some other directories in the same drive.

I checked few Symantec blogs and they are saying that because of file system error this issue may arise. I ran chkdsk on that drive and there are no file system error.

Recently there were no major changes in the server end other than the July , August & September 2015 MS patch deployments.

Any ideas on this issue will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

**-CK-**

Searched around and have seen others with this issue but no real solutions.

I have a 14TB Deduplicated volume that loses its vss about once a month. I just lost this lasts night and have seen some interesting stuff.

First the error

The shadow copies of volume E: 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.


PS C:\Windows\system32> vssadmin list shadowstorage /for=e:

vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool(C) Copyright 2001-2012 Microsoft Corp.Shadow Copy Storage association   

For volume: (E:)\\?\Volume{9b6bb5ae-8d5e-4f13-94ac-8655fc90e4f2}\   

Shadow Copy Storage volume: (E:)\\?\Volume{9b6bb5ae-8d5e-4f13-94ac-8655fc90e4f2}\   

Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 507 MB (0%)   

Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 3.14 GB (0%)   

Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 1.40 TB (9%)


If i look at previous versions i only show the snapshot from this morning at 7:00 AM

However if i type vssadmin list shadows. it shows 30+ Contents of shadow copy set ID.

I am starting to run low on space but i still have over 20% free and over 3.1TB of space.

Any ideas here?


Volsnap Event ID: 25 and Loss of Previous Backups

$
0
0
I have a Windows Small Business Server 2008 machine being backed up using the Windows Server Backup utility.  The backups are being made to two external USB attached 1TB drives.  Each drive is rotated out weekly, meaning that one drive is attached one week, then the other drive is swapped in the following week, ad infinitum for the best part of a year.  Two backups were being made each day to the attached drive, one at 12pm and one at 9pm.

About two weeks ago it appears that one of the two drives reached capacity and began shedding the oldest backups, as confirmed by the VOLSNAP Event ID: 33 entries in the System Event log.  On the second day, however, ALL shadow copies on the attached backup driver (volume) were deleted, as confirmed by a single VOLSNAP Event ID: 25.  (See below for both Event ID message contents.)  Unfortuneately, neither events were noted until the drive was swapped out with the other drive and some how the problem was propagated to the second drive, resulting in the deletion of all shadow copies on the second drive, too. 

The end result... BOTH drives lost ALL previous backups leaving only the most recent full backup and no clue as to why it happened or how to prevent it from happening again.  Virtually no older backup file versions could be recovered.

I was under the impression that, by design, the WSB utility would only start deleting the oldest backups (on a full drive) in order to make room for the newer backups.  Granted, had I been keeping attention, I would have actually swapped out the full drives before the actually got full, so that NO data was deleted.

If I'm to continue using the Windows Server Backup utility, I need to know what happened and how to absolutely prevent it from happening again.  I never expected to loose BOTH backups at the same time, and due to budget restraints, two rotating backup drives seemed a logical solution.

Here is text from the two VOLSNAP Event ID messages found in the System Log:

Event ID: 25
Source:  volsnap
Level: Error
Description:  The shadow copies of volume \\?\Volume{93896cfc-d904-11dd-8cb5-001ec9ef572e} 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.

Event ID: 33
Source: volsnap
Level: Information
Description: The oldest shadow copy of volume \\?\Volume{93896cfc-d904-11dd-8cb5-001ec9ef572e} was deleted to keep disk space usage for shadow copies of volume \\?\Volume{93896cfc-d904-11dd-8cb5-001ec9ef572e} below the user defined limit.


NOTE:  Though I'm not sure if this has any bearing on the situation, the server is configured to make two snapshots a day of two volumes on the server, however, when I looked at the Shadow Copy settings I couldn't quite be sure if the VSS wasn't somehow also making snapshots on the two external drives, even though I haven't specified VSS to do so.  None show up on the two replacement drives I'm now using, so I'd say not.


Information on how to prevent this from happening again would greatly be appreciated.  (I'll be making sure no backup drive gets even close to being full from now on, that's for sure!)


Thanks,



Joseph.

Reclaiming volume shadow copy space

$
0
0

I noticed our SQL Log LUN had 8GB free out of 250GB. TreeSize says only 95GB of that is consumed by the filesystem but it won't expand SYSVOL even though I'm accessing it from a domain admin account. I can't browse into SYSVOL directly on the server either. Shadow Copies on that volume shows ~150GB is in use, but the same interface doesn't show any shadow copies on that volume. Restarted both services, no change.

VSSADMIN LIST SHADOWSTORAGE returns:

Shadow Copy Storage association
   For volume: (E:)\\?\Volume{505536b6-6d8c-11e4-a5f3-f07f06457c93}\
   Shadow Copy Storage volume: (E:)\\?\Volume{505536b6-6d8c-11e4-a5f3-f07f06457c93}\
   Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 145.461 GB (58%)
   Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 146.653 GB (58%)
   Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 99.1 GB (39%)

DISKSHADOW claims there are no shadows to delete. VSSADMIN DELETE SHADOWS /ALL returns "No items found that satisfy the query."

What do I need to do to get VSS to clear out the current copies and/or honor the defined max shadow copy storage defined on the volume?

Windows Server 2012 R2 VM Back up fails with Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data.

$

0

This problem was first encountered on an IBM x3650 in a cluster with an IBM x3550 for failover, however this problem is reproducible on a server running HyperV not part of a cluster.

When I try to run a VM based backup from inside the VM using the server backup utility to E: drive(which is an attached vhdx file). It fails with this error

Backup failed to complete. There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy on the storage location. make sure that, for all volumes to be backup up, the minimum required disk space

for shadow copy creation is available. This applies to both the backup storage destination and volumes included in the backup. Minimum requirements: For Volume less than 500 megabytes, the minimum is 50 megabytes of free space. For volumes more than 500 megabytes, the minimum is 320 megabytes of free space. Recommended: At least 1 gigabyte of free disk space for each volume if the volume size is more than 1 gigabyte.

Detailed Error: Insufficient storage available to create either the shadow copy storage file or other shadow copy data.

In the event viewer I see this error

EventID: 521 The backup operation that started at '‎TIME’ has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '0x80780119'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

This problem was not happening in our test setup using Server 2012 R2 MSDN copy, before rolling out to production  using ourVolume license copy of server.So as a test I installed two VMs on a Host(MSDN), one VM using our MSDN copy of server and one with our  Volume license copy of server,very simple install, install Windows backup, attach VHDx file and attempt bare metal backup. The MSDN copy is able to perform the bare metal backup. TheVolume license copy fails with the above errors.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Or any ideas on where to look to see the differences between the two VMs that is stopping the backup from completing?


EDIT:

To trouble shoot and get it as simple as possible I tried a 3rd server with just hyperV installed, not part of the cluster. The VM that I install from our MSDN DVD(burned from ISO) the backups work fine. The VM I install from our Volume license copy DVD(burned ISO) fails the bare metal backup with the above 

I have since verified this on two different servers, VM installed with MSDN copy of server 2012 R2 work for bare metal backups, VMs installed with purchased Volume license copies of Server 2012 R2 do not work for bare metal backups, another bit of info on the server that cant perform bare metal backups, its able to back up C: drive fine, its not until I hit bare metal back up that it fails.

I found this post which is similar to my problem I think, but when I tried his fix, and attempted to recover the VM the Windows PE System image recovery said it couldn't find a image to recover. http://superuser.com/questions/663782/windows-8-1-insufficient-storage-available-to-create-shadow-copy

I am wondering if anyone else has seen the below error message? If so how do I correct it, I don't want to have to purchase a 3rd party backup software package to backup the entire server if possible....

Below is the hard drive formats...not sure why OS partition is Fat32..I did not load the OS on this server.

Below is the error I get when trying to run any backups using the windows server backup configuration wizard?

Any ideas on how to correct this without a reinstallation would be great :)
