windows server 2003 standard r2 sp2 unable to restore system state backup

Hi,

we had one windows server 2003 installed on hp proliant dl380 g5 server and it is working from the last 11 years. 2 months before all of a sudden the server crash due to hard drive failure. we purchase new hard drive and installed server 2003 on it. After Installation we restore one of the backups already taken before hardware failure but unfortunately system unable to boot after restoring the full backup. To check where issue lies with any backup set I restore drive backup & system state backup one by one. drive backup successfully restored and reboot properly without any problem but when we restore system state backup upon reboot server fail to start and give hal.dll corrupt or missing error.

I try to copy hal.dll file from server 2003 cd but it gives same hal.dll missing error once file copied successfully. 

To go into more investigation, I came to know that hal.dll and ntoskrnl files are different in new installation & backup copy. In trying to resolve the issue, I manually copy the hal.dll and ntoskrnl from backup and put it on new installation but that also did not fix the issue and gives the same hal.dll error.

Kindly recommend if above issues lies with any hard drive because as I mention we install new hard drives and those are not identical to the one installed before. below are the details of hard drives

Old hard drive (1 port 10k serial scsi 146 GB spare 432320-001) -- 2 hard drives --

new hard drive (dual port 10k SAS 146 GB spare 418399-001)  -- 2 hard drives --

server is (HP Proliant dl380 g5)

Old hal.dll file name (hal.dll)  version (5.2.3790.3959)

new hal.dll file name (halmacpi.dll) version (5.2.3790.3959)  -- try to copy old hal file but gives hal.dll missing or corrupt error --

old ntoskrnl.exe file name (ntkrnlmp.exe)  version (5.2.3790.4478)

new ntoskrnl.exe file name (ntkrnlmp.exe) version (5.2.3790.3959)

Last thing to add also in our old scenario there are three hard drive installed but that time 2 are functional and one is dead. In New scenario, there are 2 hard drives.

I am out of options right now. Kindly recommend any solution. If you need more detail kindly let me know.

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.

Settings change on Shadow Volume Copies

Hey everybody,

We've seen this behavior in two of our virtual servers. Seemingly every few weeks I'll get an alert from our monitoring system that our servers volumes are low on space. The culprit is always shadow copies on the server. I set limits on the shadow copies through the volume properties but it seems the settings revert back to no limit after a random amount of time.

Windows Server Backup Backup and Restore

I am trying to configure "Windows Server Backup." So, I setup windows server backup on one of our domain controllers. The organization wants to set up a backup of domain controllers. All the domain controllers are virtual. I had virtual team create a virtual drive and mount it to one of the domain controllers. Installed "Windows Server Backup" and have successful backups and alerting through PowerShell but now I am wanting to know whet would the most effective way to restore the server should it go down? 

The company wants to go the Windows Backup route so installing 3rd Party Software isn't going to work in this case.

Incremental and bare-metal client backup and restore after Essentials 2016?

What's the procedure going forward for performing client backup and restore?

This is available now in Server 2016 Essentials and Server by installing the essentials role.  This is no longer available in Server 2019. 

How do I go about doing this?

To be clear, I don't mean a snapshot full backup, so Windows 7 image backup isn't the answer to the question.

It's more like: how do you do efficient, automated, incremental backups on say a dozen clients in a way that you can bare-metal restore those clients?

Hi,

We have Windows Server 2012 R2 Server. This server contains Active Directory, DNS and Exchange Server 2010. We are taking a daily backup of System State using "Windows Server Backup". Sometimes the backup size for System State backup is appr. 12GB, while sometimes it reduces to 500MB or less. Why is this huge difference. Is there something we are missing in System State Backup? I'm always selecting VSS Full Backup.

Hello,

      We have been having an issue for the last week with our Windows Server Backup failing on our Windows Server 2016 Essentials server.  It is failing with the application event ID 517.  The backup operation has failed with the following error code '0x807800AF' (The Volume Shadow Copy Service backup complete operation failed.  The backup backs up the EFI System partition, local disk with all the data, Bare metal recovery, but fails on the System state.  It says the Backup canceled.  System state backup was canceled.

The error in the windows server backup software is the Volume Shadow Copy Service backup complete operation failed.  A volume shadow copy service component encountered an unexpected error.

The server has been rebooted and we will get one working backup but the issue returns the following day.

I am experimenting with iSCSI targets (OpenFiler) for network backup of Windows 2008 server and Windows 7.  Backups are working fine but now I get to restore testing and realize I cannot see the iSCSI storage for a baremetal restore.  Of course the volumes on the iSCSI target are available for restore from a working system.

Is it possible to access the iSCSI volumes during a baremetal disaster recovery?

Hi Guys,

Normally when we do an authoritative restore, we open the Command prompt and perform the following steps

Ntdsutil > Activate instance NTDS > Authoritative restore

Now most of the forums say the command is "restore database", but when I tried it on 2012 and 2016 server, it says the that "Error parsing Input - Invalid Syntax"

It does not list the command in the help section as well.

Regards,
Edward.

Accessing files from vhd backup created by WSB of Server 2019 REFS Deduped Volume

February 25, 2019, 7:23 am

Hello!

   I have a customer a Windows Server 2019 host running Hyper-V using an REFS de-duplicated volume.  Windows Server Backup is backing up the entire E: (Hyper-V VM's) to an NTFS external USB disk (F:).  The WindowsImageBackup folder on the external USB disk is deleted and re-created during each server backup (so there is only only backup in the WindowsImageBackup folder).

   The question is about the restore process:  Can I mount the F:\WindowsImageBackup\ .vhd file, then mount the .vhdx file from the specific backed-up VM and copy files out?  Will the restored files be rehydrated (with all of the deduplicated data) so that I could copy these files to a new volume?

   In case that last paragraph requires explanation, I'd like to be able to mount F:\WindowsImageBackup\...\...vhd to Z: and see "Z:\Hyper-V\DC\Virtual Hard Disks\DC.vhdx" and mount that drive as Y:.  Then I'd like to copy Y:\files\office.docx" (a file within the DC VM) to a non-deduplicated volume and make sure that the data integrity is good.  I follow this process on servers that don't have deduplication enabled and it works great on those servers.  

   Part of my question deals with wondering where the deduplication pointers are stored on the backup USB Disk.  Are they on the F: NTFS volume or within the .vhd file on that backup USB disk?

   Any insight into this would be most helpful!  Thanks so much!

Dave

System State Backups slow to a crawl on Server 2008 R2 hosting Exchange 2010

Anyone come across system state backups that slow to a crawl ? 1MB/sec 

Veritas says that neither of their products (Backup Exec 15 & 16) is the cause. 

Reboots of the 2008 R2 server don't always fix it. none of the vss writers are malfunctioning according to the list. Windows Backup of the system state freezes my mailserver so I've never let it run entirely.

Anything that would help troubleshoot ? Some obscure event ID I Should look for in the logs ? 

Thanks,

I have attempted the recommended registry fix to extend the timeout times which have not resolved the issue.

Have also re-registered the services.

All updates are installed. Unit is NOT running Sophos AV which has been known to cause this issue.

Any ideas? Thank you!
