windows server backup 2012 r2 "the task xml contains a value which is incorrectly formatted"

I am attempting to back up hyper-v images using windows 2012 r2 windows server backup. Using the scheduled backup wizard, the destination was of the third type, shared network folder. It asked for windows credentials and everything proceeded till the last step of the wizard where it saves the job. Then this error:

"the task xml contains a value which is incorrectly formatted or out of range"

The job was not saved.

Most of the discussions I have found about this error message have to do with older windows server versions. This is fully up to date Windows 2012 R2. Can anyone help explain this error, and how to accomplish a backup like this?

When backing up with quiesce, virtual Windows Servers record errors and warnings

Hi all,

I have virtual servers Windows 2008R2 and 2012R2. When backing them up (ArcServe) I am getting errors and warnings in System Event.

Event ID 57: The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.

Event ID 137: The default transaction resource manager on volume \\?\Volume{5bdc1dc1-75d0-11e5-9f0d-0050569b483f} encountered a non-retryable error and could not start.  The data contains the error code.

Event ID 50:  {Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file . The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

ArcServe said is not their fault

VMWare is latest build ESXi6. When running snapshot with quiesce it throws the errors too.

So it is something to do with Microsoft VSS.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Georgi Ivanov

Hi,

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprises Server and its currently running in our company as a master ADDS server. Now I need to upgrade my master DC to Windows 2012. I have the administrator privilege & can preform backup process. First of all I need to backup my master DC and need to restore it to another hardware or Virtual Machine. ( so it will not affect anything if something goes wrong ).

Then I need to upgrade the my cloned server to Windows Server 2012.

Now here are the questions.

01). How to backup my ADDS ( Windows Server 2008 R2 Server )

02). How to restore that backup I mentioned in 01) question ?

Thanks !

Hi,

I currently use dsdbutil.exe to export ADAM backup and restore it to another ADAM instance. On doing so, the imported machine's ADAM instance is still points to source machine settings. This is resulting in error while setting ADAM replication to another machine from imported machine. Can any one let me know how to correct this ?

I have a Windows Server 2008 (NOT R2) that will run backups just fine once, and then it won't run backups again until the server is rebooted.

I always find a pop up on the screen saying the server must be restarted.

Obviously rebooting each day isn't a great answer...Any suggestions?

How to backup Remote Server using Windows Server Backup 2012?

Dear Windows Expert,

I have a backup server running Windows server 2012 with the Windows Server Backup installed. I would like to do a remote backup of my Hyper V Server Running Windows Server 2008 R2. Is it possible? As we know that Windows Server backup on 2008 Windows is not able to backup Hyper V, that's why I am planning to use Windows Server Backup 2012 running on the other server.

Thanks.

Dear friends,

My server has VSS problem and the event viewer told me "The activation of the CLSID {0B5A2C52-3EB9-470A-96E2-6C6D4570E40F} timed out waiting for the service VSS to stop".

I found some where that registry need to have only one record. But I have two versions of VSS, one is Version 1.0.0.1 and 1.0.0.7.

If I delete the old one, will it resolve the issue or harm the server? Please help.

wbadmin - access to EFI system partition fails

Sorry, but I could not change the headline in the thread were I started this issue. But error 0x807800C5 is too imprecise

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/79a735c1-4c50-4fa8-a945-46e25991eea9/wbadmin-failure-0x807800c5?forum=windowsbackup#47e77a02-ddb0-42dd-b33d-1475471f7bc3

So I sumarize the case:

Server 2012R2
Hypervisor with several running VM's
Up2Date 3/18/15

After weeks of succesfull backups wbadmin suddenly fails with 0x807800C5. No changes were made to the system, same backup device.

I restored a file and a VM succesfully from the backup to verify that the disk and the image is ok.

I run wbadmin from a script with:

wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -allCritical -hyperv:vm1,vm2,vm3

Output is:

2015-03-18 23:02:17 INF > wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
.......
2015-03-18 23:02:17 INF > The backup operation to F: is starting.

2015-03-18 23:02:17 INF > The backup operation stopped before completing.
2015-03-18 23:02:17 INF > Detailed error: The specified backup disk cannot be found.

I found out that the failure only occurs if I add the -allCritical switch.

If I start the backup for drive c: with this command:
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -include:C: -vssFull -exclude:c:\Hyper-V

everything is ok.

I can backup every virtual machine with the following command without any problem
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -hyperv:XYZ-DOM

Only this command fails:
wbadmin.exe start backup -quiet -backupTarget:f:\ -vssFull -allCritical

The difference is that wbadmin now tries to backup ALL partitions, also EFI & Co. So I assume that wbadmin does not have proper access to the "EFI System Partition" and that all information which one can find in the logs of the 2012 server related to that event is bullshit (Error: The specified backup disk cannot be found).

I found reports of 8.1 users rleated to similar problems (http://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/systemabbildsicherung-bricht-ab/f6ed5e53-829e-48be-9b47-a73f730680cc?page=1&tm=1384095732725). Could be a hint, same kernel.

But at the end: With this kind of backup you'll loose defintly the possibility of an bare-metal restore, very
unsatisfying.

Annother question: Backups with the -hyperv switch are terrible slow. The backups are written to an USB-3 disk, The xyz-Dom machine for example has two vhdx files with roundabout 700GB, more or less 350GB filled. The backup needs 12 hours!

Thank you

hi

I want to backup my Windows Server 2012 R2 host to a destination fixed disk but I want it to have Bitlocker drive encryption. I'm going to store the backup in my car!

When I set up a scheduled backup, and choose the disk, it's reformatted and hidden from explorer. No drive letter is assigned.

How do I bitlocker it?

Am I doing it the right way?

Thanks

Hello All,

We have windows 2008 r2 ent edition file server, having data of about 600 Gb. This machine is a Virtual machine running on esx 5.0.

Now We have configured a Windows Server backup to backup the file server data every night to a external drive. Last night the backup ran, but i could not see any file server data on external drive.

There were following folders under WindowsImageBackup\<Computername>\

1. Backup 2012-09-23

2. Catalog

3. SPPMetadataCache

4. Mediaid

Under Backup 2012-09-23 there are many XML files, and under catalog folder 2 files backupGlobalcatalog and globalcatalog.

Request you to please tell us what is the wrong and how did the restore will happen with all xml files.

Thanks HA

Windows Server 2012 R2 backup to multiple destinations

October 28, 2015, 3:44 pm

Hello experts,

I hope some of you can give me an insight, what's happening here with Windows BACKUP on server 2012R2 - is this new behaviour "by design" is is some bug involved. ....or is it me and my lack of expertise.

I have one single Windows Server 2012R2 setup as a DC and File Share for a company with 50 users.
I configured WINDOWS BACKUP to use two destinations:

  • first destination is "Volume" type, iSCSI target on NAS server
  • the second destionation is also "Volume" type, partition on local RAID1 disk array

The SIZE of those destinations are both 1,5TB, while all backed up items together are below 350 GB, so there's plenty of space on both volumes.

PROBLEM?

Yes, problem is, that Windows Backup uses only 1 of destinations for some time. It counts...1 backup copy available, then 2 copies available and so on...then it suddenly drops count back to only 1 copy available on this destination, and switches to 2nd destination. Totaly unpredictible and unreliable, because:

  • if something happens when 16 copies are available, it's OK, I can restore 16 steps back
  • but what if something goes wrong when it shows only 1 copy is available?

I have quite a few Windows 2008 Servers running out there with 2 destinations, and they fill up BOTH destinations at the same time, having 30+ backups available on BOTH destinations.

So I am wondering, what's wrong with my server, so it behaves so much differently as old 2008 servers?

Unable to run backup following Windows Server Essetials 2012 change to 2012 Standard

Hi,

I have had to change the product version of Server 2012 Essentials to 2012 Standard. This was completed as per the Microsoft documentation and was successful on the face of it. However in the following days we discovered the backup was unable to run. We use BackupAssist on the server and the same error is generated everytime.

An attempt to retrieve the properties for the template failed because the template is not in
the catalog

.At first I was thinking this was an issue with the program so it was re-installed but no difference even after creating a new backup schedule. I contacted BackupAssist support who suggested re-installing Windows Backup on the server. I have completed this but still the same error. To prove it is an issue with the Windows Server Backup the following command was tried in command prompt to run the backup from outwith Backup Assist.

wbadmin start backup "-backupTarget:F:" -quiet -noverify -vssFull -include:c:,d: -allCritical

Again the same error was generated and I was advised to contact Microsoft. I was wondering if anyone reading the post will be able the shed light on the situation and recommend a resolution going forward.
