Hi,
I am looking to replicate the my Server 2012 DHCP, so if the primary machine fails, we can continue with to other DHCP.
Looking for a guide.
Thank you,
Sayeed.
I am aware of the 64TB usability limit for the Volume Shadow Copy Service using NTFS on Windows Server up to 2012R2. My question is:
Has this limit changed at all using Windows Server 2016 volumes formatted with either NTFS or REFS?
Thanks,
Jeff
Hi,
I am not able to see system writer after running VSSadmin list writers
What I have done so far:
Run this
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /aThis is not able to fix the issue
Can somebody suggest solution for this which may not require system reboot
I'm testing 2008R2 SP1 Windows Image Backups. Two Servers alpha and omega each have an older backup stored on the other server, in shared folders. In Windows Server Backup - Recovery Wizard - Specify Remote Folder I get to specify the UNC path "to the remote shared folder that contains the backup." Easy, right? I have tried (from \\alpha)
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup (which is the shared folder)
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup\alpha
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup\alpha\Backup 2011-03-22 133034
These all error with
"The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup. Provide the path to a remote shared folder that contains backups."
Must be corrupted? But, vice-versa, trying from \\omega and looking at \\alpha i get the same error.
Tell me I'm missing something stupid.. Thanks!
Hi, I'm receiving the Event 65535, VSS Keep-alive error in the Windows Server 2008 Application Log. The description of this event is as follow:
"Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer", see screenshot below:
I'm trying to run the VSS-aware backup of system state.
Anyone available to assist or point me into the right direction?
Given internal disks:
The 1TB backup disk contains full system backups. Individual files restore works fine. I would like to test a full system recovery onto the cold spare 250 GB disk without taking the current system disk out. When booted from the installation media, though, the system recovery does not list the 250 GB disk as a possible target. Well, it does not give any choice interface for recovery target. How do I make sure that the recovery plan is good? Any option without disconnecting the 120 GB disk?
Thank you!
Hello,
I am doing scheduled backups every night of my Server 2008 R2 SP1. The backups say successful however it always fails on the last drive. So it is successfully backing up the C and D drives as well as the System Reserved, System State, and Bare metal. However when it attempts to back up my E. drive I get the error "The system cannot find the path specified"
Any thoughts?
Hey all,
I have a Seagate 4TB 4 bay storage server with Windows 2012 Storage Server. Things are working reasonably well, there are some network shares and I am using Windows Backup. Occasionaly, once every two months or so, it appears a backup takes longer than usual i.e 7-10 hours. And it sometimes spills over into the next workday. You can imagine what happens next, anger, calls, "why did we listen to him", etc.
Is there way to set a time limit on the backup?
Perhaps, I can use task scheduler to check if the backup is running at a certain time and shut it down.
Any other ideas? If you need more info, please ask.
Thanks very much.

We are using DPM 2012 to protect several servers. Periodically (one to two times per week), VSS writers will get in a failed state. Rebooting the server always clears up the issues but it seems to me that there should be a way to restart services or processes to re-initialize the writers. For example, when the SQL Server writer is in a failed state, you simply restart the SQL Server VSS Writer service and the issue is fixed most times. Rebooting production servers two to three times per week just to clear up VSS issues doesn't make sense. The ones I can't figure out how to fix without a reboot are these:
All the other writers are pretty easy to figure out, although I'm not sure why "System Writer" is really the Cryptographic service.
Anyone provide some clarification on what service to restart to clear up these VSS writers?

Hi Folks ,
Windows Server Backup on a Server 2008 Standard , running through DPM. The error code is 2155413760 with event id 546 . The backup fails .
Troubleshooting Steps Performed :
The server is hosted in the remote location and presently running the DC , DHCP and fileserver roles .
Any further troubleshooting steps or assistance will be appreciated.
l develop two vss hardware provider. When l register one to vss service and execute "vshadow -p e:", the result is normal. However when l register the other and execute "vshadow -p e:", the command is giving the following error :
Creating the shadow (DoSnapshotSet)...
(Waiting for the asynchronous operation to finish...)
ERROR: during the last asynchronous operation.
- Returned HRESULT = 0x800423f8
- Error text: <Unknown error code>
- Please re-run VSHADOW.EXE with the /tracing option to get more details
In the event viewer, error event 12362 generate when abnormal.
EVENTVIEWER 12362:
A Shadow Copy LUN was not detected in the system and did not arrive.
Operation:
Exposing Disks
Locating shadow-copy LUNs
PostSnapshot Event
Executing Asynchronous Operation
Context:
Execution Context: Provider
Current State: DoSnapshotSet
With vsstrace I found that the snapshot destination disk reported the following error log many times when l failed.
"We find arrived disk \\?\SCSI#Disk&XXXX has no LUN id and is not a snapshot disk arrival."
When l was successful, the snapshot destination disk reported the following log.
"{XXXX} is in state 1 and has LUN id {XXXX} and disk no 2."
My OS is Windows Server 2016 Standard.All my writers are stable and no error.
What is the possible cause of 0x800423f8 error? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I'm looking to have a logoff or shutdown script run wbadmin and back up my user profile folder, and a few folders here and there like my development web server's DocumentRoot. As I do JavaScript development with Node.js/npm and .NET development with NuGet to manage third-party libraries, I would like to not include the "node_modules" or "packages" folders that the package managers put the libraries into, since the code in them is easily retrievable and it'll save time to not back them up.
If I do something like "wbadmin -include:C:\Users\me,C:\xampp\htdocs -exclude:C:\*\node_modules,C:\*\Projects\*\packages", will that result in every node_modules being ignored, as well as any "packages" folder in my Visual Studio projects folders? Or is this not possible?
I've read that it's possible to run multiple scenarios of a backup?
I know that GUI (Windows Server Backup app) will only let you schedule just one backup plan.
I would like to plan something a bit more complex and would like to know how to do it.
I have two 4TB external drives and one Windows 2016 Server with one VM (3 volumes).
I would like to set up daily VSS Full backup for Monday-Friday.
On Saturday I would like to make a copy of Drive1 to Drive2, then set up new VSS full backup of the server on Drive1.
Reason for this is that VSS full backup won't save whole images each day, even if it's full backup (it only writes down differentials).
So I would like to ideally have is two full copies of server once a week and those differentials from Monday to Friday.
Hi All,
In our windows server 2008 r2, Default event log folder(C:\Windows\System32\winevt\Logs) was accidently deleted by one system admin. How to recover the deleted folder. Kindly support
I have two servers that seem to be artificially limited on the number of copies:
MaxShadowCopies is not configured on either. We do 2 copies a day. Neither seem to have skipped or missed a copy, but appear to just be "truncated" before they reached the disk limit.
We have recently installed Window 2008 and are receiving the following message:
Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object.
Details:
AddCoreCsiFiles : BeginFileEnumeration() failed.
System Error:
Access is denied.
I have followed all of the posting that are listed and have made sure the necessary rights have been assigned to the c:\windows\registration file but hte "System Writer" will not show when running vssadmin list writers.
Please help.
Thank you.
