Windows Server Backup - ASR Writer failure

$
0
0

Hi,

I have been trying to resolve this problem for a while now.  I replaced the main HDD on my server, (by using a drive clone) and ever since then the BMR portion of my daily backups fails with this error:

"BMR backup failed as ASR writer failed while creating shadow copy and was skipped. Detailed error: The writer experienced a transient error.."

I recall reading somewhere this had to do with an invalid volume name that the ASR writer can't handle, but I can't for the life of me find out how to find what and resolve it.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks,


System state backup on Server 2012 R2

Using the WSB utility, I get the following error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

I ran the utility through powershell and got the same error.  I checked the log files and get this error "Error in deletion of [C:\System Volume Information\001.dat] while pruning the target VHD: Error [0x80070020] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

Looked at resource monitor and system constantly has access to the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Backup Error - 0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog

$

Dear all,

 

I'm trying to backup my files onto a 2TB big external USB disk. My computer is Dell Latitude E4300.

 

When I run the backup, it runs normally but ends with this error:

0x810000E4 Windows Backup has encountered a problem with the backup catalog

 

When checking the zip files on the USB drive, it seems that only some of the files have been backed up. The same confirms the restore option when I browse the files in the backup.

 

When I start the backup again, it continues - i.e. acknowledges the files already there and backs up a additional files but again fails after some time.

 

Any ideas please.

Thank you,

Tomas

Problems with System Writer on Windows Server Enterprise

Hi everyone,

I got a problem when I use Avamar on some servers, only Windows Server Enterprise. The backup is not working, and when I'm looking into logs, I can see that I got an error about "System Writer". Indeed, when I launch "vssadmin list writers", I should see "System writer" but I don't.

I searched on internet to get some solutions, like giving some rights on some folders, but it changed nothing and then I saw that I could install the Fix484021 to fix it. But... the fix isn't working on my OS :( (link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2911752/system-writer-is-missing-and-backups-fail-in-windows-server-2008)

I tried to contact the support by chat, but I don't get an answer from it because it's laggy.

Waiting for help.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Clément.

Server 2012 - How to backup and restore complete system with RAID adapter upgrade

$
0
0

Hello, TechNet:

I have a working Dell PowerEdge R310 with a recent fresh install of Windows Server 2012 R2.
The server has a PERC S300 RAID controller with four 2TB SATA disks in the front bays.

During the fresh install, Windows couldn't find the RAID5 array's virtual disk (created using Dell's controller procedure with the 4-drive virtual disk initialized).  We then setup the RAID controller without virtual disk, and were able to install Windows on a single 2TB disk to get it running (currently using about half that space).

The server has since had a couple of applications installed, and a second (admin) user account was created.

I plan to replace the S300 RAID controller with an H700 RAID controller (which I'm hoping will allow the RAID5 virtual disk to be seen for re-installation of Windows 2012).  In theory, my procedure will be:

  1. Do a complete "backup once" with the S300 adapter installed.
  2. Install the H700 adapter.
  3. In H700 controller setup, delete the configuration and create the RAID5 virtual disk containing all four drives.
  4. Re-install Windows 2012 (assuming it sees the new virtual disk).
  5. Restore the backup.

If you might offer any advice for me, I would find it most helpful.  In particular:

  • Does my procedure make sense to you?
  • Is my backup plan the right one?
  • For Restore, should I try it from within Windows or, booted to Windows DVD, from the Recovery Environment such as restoring a system image?

Thank you, thank you,
Best regards,
Dan.

this error on two servers that have windows 2008 r2 sp1

The backup failed. The RPC server is unavailable (0x800706BA)

After the Windows 10 version 1803 upgrade on April 30, 2018, my System Image Backup keeps failing withe two messages. "The backup failed" "The RPC server is unavailable (0x800706BA)".

Note that the System Image Backup worked before the upgrade. The upgrade completed OK and I have not found any other issues.

I checked that =1= The RPC (Remote Procedure Call) service in Services is active and running and =2= the DCOM (Distributed COM) is enabled. There used to be a SYSTEM disk when I did the defrag, the defrag does not show the SYSTEM disk in version 1803.

Is it a bug, or is there a fix or should I try the Image Recovery (that might fail as well).

WBADMIN - Access denied when carrying out backup operations from commandline

$

Hi,

We have a situation while using WBADMIN in a scheduled task. We have a user, called Admin that belongs to the Domain Administrators. There's a task that performs a backup to a USB hard disk, defined in the Scheduled Tasks.

This is the command line

wbadmin start backup -BackupTarget:F: -include:C:, E: -allcriticall -SystemState -quiet

The operating system is Windows Server 2012.

The task is set to run with highest privileges and regardless if the user is logged on or not.

The task doesn't execute, however the command line does run if we run CMD as Administrator and execute the above command.

How can we solve this?

Best Regards,

Nélio Abreu

"Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination" when trying to backup to Backup Once to Samba share on NAS

$
0
0

Environment:

Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials running in VirtualBox in a Windows 7 host. Networking is configured and works fine.

Background:

My only backup needs are to copy the contents of two folders to a NAS folder every day at 2 AM.

I configured a backup schedule in Windows Server Backup (wbadmin) to a network location which is hosted as a Samba share on a Synology NAS.

For authentication, I created a backup user which has the same username and password as a user on the Samba share, with permission to read and write the backup folder. I added this user to the Backup Operators group.

Problem:

When I try to run the Backup Once operation to test my backup, I get the following error message:

"Windows Backup cannot read the backup destination."

What I've tried:

I verified that the location is directly accessible in Windows by copying and pasting the address from the Windows Server Backup destination into explorer. Providing the backup user credentials opened the location and creating/reading files worked fine.

Adding the backup user to the Administrators group did not have an effect.

Update 2014-02-18

I checked the backup destination and was surprised to find that the scheduled backup actually completes successfully.However, Backup Once always results in the above error message. So the problem is confined to the "Backup Once" operation.



Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 Bare Metal Restore 0x0000007B Stop Error

$

Hi,

 

I am tring to restore a Server 2008 R2 Standard Ed (full installation) RTM to a virtual machine, from a full Windows Server Backup image taken of a physical machine (Dell PE 2970).  All restores fine, and looks good until it tries to boot, when a Stop Error occurs, with the following error:

*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

I believe the non-bracketed portion means "INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE".

There is only the System Reserved volume + a C: volume (system volume) + F: volume (DVD drive) on the original server.  It has had other volumes in it before, which are correctly listed in the MountedDevices registry key, but they have not been physically present for a while.

The virtual disk I'm trying to restore to is several GBs larger than the original virtual disk on the RAID controller (2 disks in RAID 1).

I can't figure out why the server isn't booting.  I've successfully restored Server 2008 machines from physical machines to VMs before, including servers using hardware RAID cards (e.g. Dell SAS 6/iR).  The only difference I can think of is that this is Server 2008 R2, this is a 2 proc server (I've tried several virtual proc numbers on the VM to no avail), and the RAID controller is PERC 6/i, and this is the first server I've tried with that particular RAID card.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's to point out that I'm looking in the wrong direction.

 

Many thanks,

 

Chris

Windows 2016 Backup fails - Event ID 517 error code '0x807800C5'

$

Hi guys,

I recently installed 2 Windows 2016 servers on a Hyper-V 2012 cluster. I'm backing up to a brand new QNAP NAS with *plenty* of storage space (just checked, 11TB available). Verified the access credentials, all good. The 2012 server guests are backing up fine, but the 2016 servers initially failed with the event id 513 CAPI2 error:

Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object.
Details:
AddLegacyDriverFiles: Unable to back up image of binary Microsoft Link-Layer Discovery Protocol.
System Error:
Access is denied.

I followed the steps mentioned in https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-hardware/cryptographic-services-failed-while-processing-the/c4274af3-79fb-4412-8ca5-cee721bda112?auth=1 , but to no avail (rebooted the server too).

The backups keep failing with event id 517:

The backup operation that started at '‎2017‎-‎09‎-‎19T01:51:23.118823700Z' has failed with following error code '0x807800C5' (There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes in the backup set.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

I tried changing the backup selection as well, no success...

I have read about hotfixes for earlier releases of Windows Server. Would there be one for 2016 as well?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

=== Quick update: I just configured and ran the backup on our 2016 domain controller, which is on physical hardware. Same result.

Read-only flags in vshadow copy service

$
0
0

After reading the windows vshadow copy service documentation about read-only flag,

>>Immediately after IVssProviderCreateSnapshotSet::EndPrepareSnapshots, VSS will set the read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy flags on all affected LUNs. 

https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/windows/desktop/VSS/the-shadow-copy-creation-process

I have the following doubts.

In my opinion, the read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy flags are set in volume rather than disk. As I execute attribute volume command of Diskpart, the result will show the situation of read-only, hidden, no drive letter, and shadow copy on the volume. 

But if my understanding is right, the copy will be executed during CommitSnapshots. During CommitSnapshots, the new volume(A copy of the volume of the source disk) on target disk will be produced. CommitSnapshots is executed after EndPrepareSnapshots. The flag of the new volume is the same with the falg in EndPrepareSnapshots ?
And if volume does not exist in EndPrepareSnapshots, how to set read-only, shadow copy flag?

If my thoughts are wrong, wlecome to correct me and any help is appreciated.

Thanks
