Windows Server 2008R2 Backup Hangs - No Errors

$
0
0

When I run the native Windows Server Backup through the Server Manager Console (scheduled or manually), or through wbadmin, the service completes the backup of: -- Recovery -- (2.94 MB of 2.94 MB).  However, the backup service hangs up at this point.  Both -- OS C: -- and -- Bare Metal Recovery -- list 0KB of 0KB in the Data Transfer column.  There is no further progress from this point; the data partition never backs up.

I previously had repeating Events: 137, 57, and 134.  It was during this period that Windows Server Backup began malfunctioning.  I solved Event 137 by deleting the .blf and .regtrans-ms files in the ...\Machine folder and executing - fsutil resource setautorest true c:\ 

After rebooting, I no longer have any of the above errors; however, backup still will not complete.  The symptoms are described above.

I have reviewed the Windows Application logs in Event Viewer, and there are no warnings or cautions, except Event 10, since my last reboot.

I have no more information with which to continue troubleshooting this issue.  I would very much appreciate assistance.







Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error CreateFileW(\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\,0x80000000,0x00000003,...). hr = 0x80070001, Incorrect function.

Creating a restore point fails. The following application error is logged:

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error CreateFileW(\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\,0x80000000,0x00000003,...).  hr = 0x80070001, Incorrect function.

Operation:
   Processing PreFinalCommitSnapshots
Context:
   Execution Context: System Provider

Before creating the restore point the vss writers are all in a stable state:
vssadmin list writers

There are no corrupt shadow copies:

vssadmin list shadows
vssadmin delete shadows /all
No items found that satisfy the query.

I also removed all hidden storage shadow copies in the device manager.

Environment overview: Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V - 3 x Gen 2 VM's with 'fixed' hard vhdx files (originally dynamic but I worried that was the issue and converted them). I have  D:\ drive with some files to backup as well.

I've tried VSS Full Backup and VSS Copy Backup settings - I've tried the 'Configure Performance Settings...' options of tracking files before a backup.

This error event ID 24 keeps appearing in my backup logs. When the nightly backup task runs it shows only the D:\ drive as being collected incrementally - the rest revert to a full backup.

Is this 'normal'? Are my backups accumulating or do I only have one day worth of backups? A little bit of advise on this one would be useful.

If this is normal behaviour can someone explain why it is happening and perhaps a way to verify that everything is OK? I have a weekly e-mail that shows me the output - it does say it is successful in the end - though that doesn't explain why the C:\ drive is running a full backup.

"No disks are available for use a backup destination."

I'm attempting to schedule a backup in Windows Server 2008 SP2, and am getting an error during the step "Select destination disk".  Here's the full text:

"No disks are available for use a backup destination.  This can happen when all disks attached to the computer are hosting volumes that contain an operating system or application data.  Attach an empty disk to use as a backup destination."

It is true that there are no free volumes w/o operating system or application data, but I'm backing up to a network share, so that should not matter.  And in fact it works fine when using the "Backup Once" option... only the "Backup Schedule" option fails with this error.

Thanks,
Dave

On a windows 2008 r2 server, i tried turn off antivirus and sql writer before i run a backup job.

It failed and give me the error 

The backup operation that started at '‎2016‎-‎04‎-‎16T04:00:47.795253500Z' has failed with following error code '2155348257' (Windows Backup failed to read the file: '<backup location>\WindowsImageBackup\<Computer Name>\MediaId'.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

I tried some searching on the net but couldn't find anything relevant to help troubleshoot this issue. Anyone can enlighten me? i tried running vssadmin list writers in command prompt and all show no errors.

Thanks in advance.

hye,

i have encounter a backup issue for Windows Server 2012 R2

when i backup a hyper-v using Unitrends.

as i check the 'vssadmin list writers'

i can see one error

Writer name: 'Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer'

Wbadmin.msc on windows server 2012 fails to start in MMC with error wbengine.exe 0xc000005

Hi, 

Since some time now i have not been able to use the Windows server backup tool anymore.

I cant really tell since when this started, but for all i know the windows server backup service worked fine.

I even created a backup schedule and it made some backups. 

I am running this windows server 2012 Standard at home with just a couple of basic applications.

The server is used to host several websites with IIS, it manages my local DHCP and is used for locally shared storage.

There are no other security applications installed yet, because i am trieing to get rid of this error first. (so no symantec or whatever)

Since some time i am having trouble opening the windows backup snap-in. 

When ever i trie to open the Windows server backup snap-in i get the following error:

A fatal error occurred during a Windows Server Backup snap-in (Wbadmin.msc) operation.

Error details: The Windows Server Backup service has stopped. 

Close Wbadmin.msc and then restart it.

Whenever this error occures the folowing error is show in the windows logbook:

Everyday midnight backup will start.

1 month before we can see multiple dates back in back restore.

But from past 1 week we can see previous day backup file only.

I would like to know why the previous back up files are not being seen while earlier i was able to view multiple back up files in the calendar.

 Apparently one back up file for the previous day is visible. 

Appreciate if you could let me know the cause for this issue

Problems with Windows Server 2008 R2 Recovery

I am having a problem recovering an HP ML110 G6 which is being replaced by a dell T20. I was thinking I could just use a VSS backup in the Windoes server recovery during the server 2008R2 install. The ML110 G6 has 4 drives in it. C: E: F: and :G. The new server only has a single RAID 1 Volume. When the recovery begins everything looks great. I just sit back in my chair and let it happen. As a side not I used a USB stick with the mounted image to install server 2008 R2 to the new system. The system only appears to restore the C: drive. Then when I attemp to boot it takes me to the repair startup files prompt. Also will all of my active directory be restored to the new server or am I going to have to make an active directory restore to get everything up and running? 

Any help would be appreciated. 
Thanks

Issue with "Cryptographic Services" and backing up a VM.

$
0

Good Afternoon,

I'm having problems with the backup on one of our Hyper-V hosts. We use Veeam B&R to back up all the VM's and I have a problem with one VM in particular which doesn't backup, the VM is 2012r2 Essentials. 
The windows backup on the hyper-v host also doesn't work backing up this VM so I know this a Microsoft Windows Issue rather than a Veeam issue I guess but just wondered if anyone has come across this problem?

After troubleshooting all the VSS writer issues and Event ID’s I've narrowed down the problem to one VSS writer inside the problem VM:
‘System Writer’ state: [8] Failed Last Error: Inconsistent Shadow copy. is the error inside the VM every time the host backup runs.

I restart the “Cryptographic Services” which makes the VSS writer stable again but when the back runs on the host it causes a failed state again.

When I run Windows backup inside the VM it backs up fine!

Now if I stop the “Cryptographic Services” service on the VM and run the Hyper-V host backup it completes without issue! so definitely points to this service/VSS writer.

So my problem is the “Cryptographic Services” causing the failed backups. I think the service itself is fine but maybe a corrupt VSS ‘System writer’?
if so what is the best way to fix just this writer? Re-Register the DLL’s? if so does anyone know the correct DLL’s to re-register? I tried the generic DLL's from google related the VSS but makes no odds.

All servers are patched and up to date. I've done several reboots, and SFC has been run inside the VM. also done the usual Chkdsk etc.

the VM is 2012R2 Essentials -No SQL, No Exchange on this VM. all the other VM's backup without issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Folks,

Recently I have tried to move Windows Server 2008R2 from a Dell Dimension C521 to a Dell Optiplex 960, by the technique of a bare-metal restore of a backup of the C521 to the blank disk on the 960. This creates a disk in the 960 which is ostensibly an identical copy of the disk in the C521.

The restore was successful, but yielded a non-functioning system. Specifically, the 960 boots to where the pulsating Windows Flag logo displays, which is normally followed by narration on the screen of the steps Windows Server 2008R2 is taking to start services, but in this case, I don't get that far; I only see the mouse cursor on the screen and that is persistent for at least half an hour, after which time I aborted the experiment. This disk behaves the same way in either a Dimension C521 box or an Optiplex 960, so it doesn't seem to be related to the processor.

So, my problem is to determine why a re-imaged disk behaves the way mine does and if there is a technique to successfully boot it. What diagnostics and repair tools are available?

Thanks for the help,

Chris.

Hi

SBS 2011 std.

We have four external backup disks configured to be used by backup in turns. The currently connected backup disk is full. Is it possible to clear just this one disk of its content without removing it from backup set so it can continue to backup? If so what are the steps please?

Thanks
