Hi There,
I'm trying to restore a failed backup! The backup shows the following summary after completion:
C Drive (Backup Completed)
System State (Backup Completed)
E Drive (138gb of 202gb) Backed up... (How can I restore the data that has been backed up?!)
Thanks!
Ben
Hi please help, Windows Server backup keeps failing with an error "The drive cannot find the sector requested", I am doing a full backup to an external drive which has been dedicated for backups, it does about 94.6gb out of 95gb so is close to
finishing. I have performed a check disk, updated all my hardware drivers (its a HP server with hardware mirrored drives), I am at a loss - does anyone have any ideas or solutions.
I have uninstalled and rebooted the server and then reinstalled but still get the same error
Also must add that this is a live server, oh and is my first server 2012 install (soon to be last!!)
I've a strange situation on a physical Windows Server 2008 R2 Server. It hosts Citrix 6.5 (uses SQL 2008 back end), Terminal Services Licensing (for citrix) and IIS for an application that's hosted. Backups in DPM 2012 R2 started failing so I've been troubleshooting using wbadmin on the server affected and noticed the following: If I run wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:\\Backup01\recover\backuptest -allcritical it fails with this error message:
A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed. Please check "VSS" and "SPP" application event logs for more information.
ERROR - A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation error has occurred: (0x800423f4)
The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur.
The event log shows these four errors:
Event 521, Backup
The backup operation that started at '2015-10-29T15:20:44.890000000Z' 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 '2155348129'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

What I've tried so far:
cd /d %windir%\system32 net stop vss net stop swprv regsvr32 /s ole32.dll regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll regsvr32 /s vss_ps.dll vssvc /register regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll regsvr32 /s es.dll regsvr32 /s stdprov.dll regsvr32 /s vssui.dll regsvr32 /s msxml.dll regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll regsvr32 /s msxml4.dll vssvc /register net start swprv net start vss
What do I try next short of rebuilding this thing?
Hi, Guys.
Need your assistance on this.
Our environment plans for Office 365 Migration, as part of the task, we have to fix AD account details/attributes to meet requirements for Office 365 migration.
Basically, we have to modify some AD account attributes, and/or possible delete an AD account itself or AD accounts to meet such requirements.
In this regard, as backup purpose in case we have to rollback the activity, revert back to original settings, how do we backup or export such AD accounts under XYZ domain. Can we backup and export a single AD account/object or do we really have to backup and/or export all of these AD accounts?
Can't we backup and/or a single AD object? If so, please advise how to do so. We'll do this activity starting tomorrow.
Appreciate your help on this. Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi buddies.
Maybe you know how to solve this problem I'm getting. I have a backup policy in my server, that makes a full image. I'm able to restore that image (using the windows cd) if it's located in an USB HDD, but if I try to load the image trough a network share, the quoted error message appears...
Any idea? I've tried in different servers, locations, sharing permisions...
Thx!
Hi,
I have the problem that after upgrade one guest VM from Windows 8.1 pro to Windows 10 Pro the VSS Shadow Copy is not working anymore. The Windows Server is running Windows Server 2012r2. When using Windows Server Backup 2012 there is always the errow below.
vssadmin list writers looks fine on both the server and the guest vm.
ANy ideas on the error?
Thanks

A VSS writer has rejected an event with error 0x800423f4, The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error is likely to reoccur.
. Changes that the writer made to the writer components while handling the event will not be available to the requester. Check the event log for related events from the application hosting the VSS writer.
I have recently build 3 new domain controllers based on Windows 2008 to do some validation of our infrastructure upgrade and possible backup fallback scenarios.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a full backup with system state.
First I tried backing those servers with Windows 2012R2 based Data Protection Server.
For system state backup I kept getting "Replica Inconsistent"
After some troubleshooting it was recommended to try doing full backup on the actual server directly and see if that work and that fail before process starts with " A volume Shadow Copy Service Operation failed with error code 2155348129"
I can't seem to find anything in logs that would point out what particular component actually causing backup to fail.
All 3 machine are Hyper-V vm's .
On one of my AD 2008 domain controllers the NTDS writer is in failed state.
Writer name: 'NTDS'
Writer Id: {b2014c9e-8711-4c5c-a5a9-3cf384484757}
Writer Instance Id: {a0b40cc8-ded5-4497-b6dd-50f56de2dbe2}
State: [11] Failed
Last error: Non-retryable error
This is Windows server 2008 STD 64 bit
I'm trying to find out if there is a way to fix this WITHOUT rebooting my DC. I tried restarting the VSS service.
The cause of the failure was this.
lsass (636) An attempt to write to the file "\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy9\Windows\NTDS\edb.log" at offset 6029824 (0x00000000005c0200) for 512 (0x00000200) bytes failed after 0 seconds with system error 19 (0x00000013): "The media is write protected. ". The write operation will fail with error -1032 (0xfffffbf8). If this error persists then the file may be damaged and may need to be restored from a previous backup.
lsass (636) Unable to write to logfile \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy9\Windows\NTDS\edb.log. Error -1032 (0xfffffbf8).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I have server 2012 R2 running as a VM under Hyper-V. I can run a system state backup to D: drive which is internal drive on the VM. When I run wbadmin get version out put looks normal showing a number of backups. When I run wbadmin delete systemstatebackup -backuptarget:D: -keepversions:1 or variations such as wbadmin delete systemstatebackup -keepversions:1 or wbadmin delete systemstatebackup -backuptarget:D -keepversions:1 it gives the following:
Enumerating system state backups...
ERROR - No system state backups were found.
This command can be used to delete backups that only contain the system state.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thank you
I need to upgrade a Symantec Netbackup client to version 7.6.1.2 on more than 30 Windows 2008R2 Enterprise Servers. Most of them were successful but 4 servers returned error. I have asked Symantec support for help. After they checked everything and the log files, they saild that there were something wrong whith the MSI file and told us to seek Micorosft support. What I am thinking is if the MSI file corrupted, none of the upgrade would be success. I'm stuck in between Symantec and Microsoft. Is there any way to prove the MSI is ok?

Hi,
I am not able to push data from UNIX/AIX system to Windows Server.
The error i get in UNIX is port 22 timed out.
The problem is when i give the following command [netstat -an | findstr "LISTENING"] ido not see port 22 LISTENING.
TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
In the firewall rule port 22 is open.
I am using WinSCP client to Test. I have no issues push and pulling data from Windows Server to UNIX.
I have also installed PuTTY. Again no issues connecting to UNIX.
With-in UNIX i can scp to other UNIX Boxes. Why can't i SCP over SSH from UNIX to Windows?

Hi!
When I do a Windows server backup of only some VMs (3 of 10 for example) that causes the system do the snapshot of every VM on Hyper-V. Why is that? Is something wrong?
Cristian L Ruiz
The server is running 2008 R2, standard edition (core). Setup as a host with 4 VM's running on it. This error seams to coincide with a backup job starting on two VM's running on this server. Once this starts the VM’s become unresponsive and I cant access this server (acting as a host). Forced reboot fixes the problem. Any ideas?
I have a Dell T110 II server with SBS 2011 installed. I am getting an error message Bootmgr missing

I have a backup but would rather Just repair the bootmgr but i cannot get to the repair tools on the installation media
Thank you for any help.
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.
Regards,
