Windows 7 Pro 0X80070002

I am getting an error that says "Windows cannot install required files.  The file does not exist.  Make sure all files required for installation are available then restart the installation.  Error code: 0X80070002".  This occurs during a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on an SSD.  There are two hard drives in the machine but I currently have them disconnected.

Anyone know what this error is or what file it is referring to?

HELP!


Windows Server Backup SMB1 vs SMB2

$
0
0

I am backing up the System State of a Domain Controller running Server 2012 R2 to a Synology NAS running Samba 3.6.9 (out of date, but it comes with the distribution).

When using SMB1 on the Synology NAS, the backup succeeds and authenticates as the user performing the backup (either the configured Domain User account with appropriate rights, or interactively with my account as a Domain Admin). However, when SMB2 is enabled on the Synology NAS, it appears as if the Computer Account, rather than the interactive Domain Admin account is attempting to read/write to the Samba share on the NAS.

From my understanding, Samba does not support adding Computer Accounts (COMPUTER$) to share security.

Why am I seeing this behavior difference from Windows Server? This also existed with Server 2012.

Windows Server Backup “the parameter is incorrect” on Hyper-V Core

$

In my lab I run a Hyper-V Server 2012 Core to run multiple test-systems virtualy. To backup my system I want to use the "Windows Server Backup" role/feature. This role/feature works fine on other systems (include Windows 2012 Server Core) but not with my Hyper-V Server 2012 Core Edition with TrueCrypt.

Problem: Starting a Backup on the Hyper-V Core over the Wbadmin command works fine (testet with c:). But if I want to schedule the backup over "Remote Computer Management" over the GUI, I receive the following error: "The parameter is incorrect" and I can't find any future information in e.g. in the EventViewer. The only thing, which I can use from the GUI-Menu is "Recover"<- this works. "Backup Schedule..." and "Backup Once..." rises the same error.

see Printscreen: http://i.stack.imgur.com/GPf47.png

System:

  • Hyper-V Server 2012 6.2 (9200)
  • Roles: File and Storage Service, Hyper-V
  • Features: .NET Framework 3.5, .NET Framework 4.0, Windows Power Shell, Windows Server Backup, WoW64 Support
  • TrueCrypt: Systempartition and all other Harddisks are encrypted

Any idea?

Hello,

When I try to run a system state backup with this command: wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:<drive letter>

I get the error

"Failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.

ERROR - Volume Shadow Copy Service operation error (0x8004230f)
The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while trying to process the specified operation."

I'm not sure how to fix this. I'm logged into the machine as an Administrator.

Initial backup succeeds, only after disabling SQL VSS writer. All backup jobs after that fail (SBS 2008)

$

Creating a new backup job on my server, it will fail when trying the first run. I checked the Event Viewer, ran some online searches that suggested trying to disable the SQL VSS Writer. I did that, and now the initial backup completes.

Now the problem is, the next time the backup is scheduled to run, it fails. I checked the Event Viewer, and found this, 17 minutes after the backup kicked off:

Application Error Event ID 1000

"Faulting application wbengine.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e023c7, faulting module wbengine.exe, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e023c7, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00000000000d37fc, process id 0x2008, application start time 0x01cf0871f8ed12aa."

I've tried deleting the job, deleting the catalog, reregistering the VSS Writers, but no matter what, the above happens like clockwork when I start back over from scratch. Create job, disable SQL VSS Writer, backup succeeds. Next day (or next manual run), backup fails. 

Any information anyone can provide (preferably on the second issue) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Windows server back up has not backed up the files i asked it to?

I wanted to back up files on my server, so i had connected an external hard drive and created the back up with Windows SBS Console. After it had said the back up was complete, i looked on the external hard drive to check the files. However, when looking on the hard drive the files on the server were not the files on my external hard drive and there were files that i did not recognize from the server, it just contained random XML files and a HUGE VHD file, any ideas?

VSS writers inside virtual machine 'CONTOSO' failed to perform BackupComplete to its shadow copy (VSS snapshot) set: Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF). (Virtual machine ID 9851BE14-F276-459D-8D60-DF73B67EB658)

What does it mean? Writers on virtual machine are OK and all backups are successfull. Every day I have one 10172 event for one backup in Hyper-V-VMMS event log.

Looking for alternatives to CloudBerry S3 Backup Server Edition to backup data to Amazon S3

$

0

As subject says, I am looking for alternatives to CloudBerry S3 Backup Server Edition.

The thing I don't like about CloudBerry S3 Backup Server Edition is that when browsing "Backup Storage" for a specific account it only shows files that were placed into bucket by their backup software. If there are other files there that weren't put in in the backup via CB S3 Backup Server Edition these files are not displayed and not counted towards storage used in "Total Overview" on "Welcome" tab.

On top of these CB support told me that "it is also strongly not recommended to access the backup storage using something other than CloudBerry Backup, as you may break the backup sequence."

They may have their reasons for this implementation but I don't really like it.

So what I am looking for is software that runs as Windows Service and can schedule backup of file(s) similar to how CB S3 Backup does but without these limitations. Paid or free, would prefer one with a lot of users and under active development. NOT looking for anything that involves additional monthly charge (other than direct payments to Amazon for storage used). There are multiple "bucket browser" implementations but none seem to run as a server and/or has any scheduling capabilities.

Does anyone know how to deal with a space in the folder name, I'm using "My Data" as the example:

wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:e: -include:c:\My Data

I get: Error - command syntax incorrect. Error: data. See command

The command syntax works fine of folder names with no spaces.

Server 2012 Backup - Scheduled backup hangs

$
0
0

Hello all,

I am trying to use Windows Server Backup to run scheduled backups of my Hyper-V VMs. I am using the following configuration:

- Hyper-V Server 2012

- Backup volume attached via iSCSI from SNAPSERVER NAS

- Entire volume dedicated for use of full server backup.

I access the Backup GUI via a remote mmc connection. The GUI summary page suggests that the backups appear to have been running over the christmas period:

However, Hyper-V manager reports that the guest VMs are "Status: Backing Up" and I am unable to perform any operations on them (e.g. revert snapshot).

If I click on the detail menu (i.e. local backup in above image), the MMC will hang with a marquee box saying "Please Wait". I have left this run for over an hour without it changing. I am then forced to kill the MMC in task manager.

Running wbadmin from a remote PS session, I can see that the backup job is stuck at 76% on the first VM. Using the stop job command, seems successful (i.e get status shows job has stopped before completion) but the machines still show as "backing up" in Hyper-V manager, and the command prompt does not return to the 'prompt'

The only resolution I have found to this is to restart the physical hyper-v host. As this is a production server, this is something that I REALLY want to avoid.

The error logs on the hyper-v server are filled with vhdmp error 129 "Reset to device .. was issued". This error is created every 30 seconds.

I think I am slowly coming to the realisation that I have to pay out for thrid party software :-(. Any help would be appreciated..

Additional Info:

I had a similar issue trying to run the same process, only within a 2012 Guest VM.

System hangs running Server Backup - Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials

$

I ran through the Backup Wizard, selected the System, OS, and my Data drives to backup. total output is probably about 400-500GB of data to be snapshot and backed up. It's set to automatically backup daily at 9:00pm, but upon the first backup it just sits there. I figured I'd let it ride until the next day since I've seen backups take a couple hours before.

Well, It's more than 12 hours since it started the process, and I cannot access my server. It doesn't wake the screen, CTRL-Alt-Del doesn't do anything, and I can't remote in with RDP.

Any advice? I haven't shut it down or forced a reboot yet. 

Windows Server Backup starts automatically after reboot

Every time I reboot my server, the scheduled daily backup starts to run which is really really annoying and can't seem to find a way to stop it from doing that.  

Is this a bug or by design?

Windows Server 2012 VSS error "The system writer is missing"

$

Hello All,

I have a HP server that I have just installed Server 2012 standard, SQL Server 2012 and Sharepoint 2013.

When I try to take bare metal backup I get the error: "The system writer is missing", I have tried the backup as the local admin and domain admin.

The backup will only work if I decide to back up C:, once I select "Bare Metal" or "System State" the backup fails.

I have tried this solution: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734021.aspx but have not had any luck yet.

When I run the command "vssadmin list writers" I can not see "System Writer" listed.

How can I add/turn on the System Writer?

Client backup database - how to back it up

$
0
0
Hi. I'm interested in backing up the client computer backup database in Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials. I prefer to accomplish this with a third party backup program (ViceVersa from TGRMN). In their program I can run scripts to stop specific services and then restart them after the backup completes. But I don't know the names of all of the services that I would need to stop while performing this backup task. To my knowledge, I believe I need to stop WseComputerBackupSvc but I'm inclined to think there may be other services to stop. Elsewhere in technet, I read a publication advising to stop these three services: Windows Server Client Computer Backup Service, Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service, and Windows Server Computer Backup Service. If someone would know and share the names of these services I would be grateful for the help. 

Windows Server Backup (Win 2008 R2) runs twice when using Backup Schedule

$

I receive two messages in Windows Server Backup for my backups:

First a Backup Successful message.

And at the same time I receive a Backup Failed message and "The operation failed because another operation was in progress. Retry the operation."

I have tested the backups and they work fine - so why does it run twice?

It causes my backup monitoring to send alerts so it is hard to monitor if the backup works or not.

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

SBS 2008 - Volume D does not show in Restore

Hi everybody,

on our SBS 2008 EventViewer says Backup Succeeded, no further errors shown.
But when I try to recover files or Volumes, data Partition "D" is not shown. Server-Manager -> Storage -> Windows-Server-Backup says "Completed with Warnings", and Details show:

"D:The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

But in WindowsImageBackup there is a vhd of the appropriate size.

ChkDsk says no errors on both backup and destination drive. What now?

Thanks,
Thilo
