Mount Windows Server Backup 2008 and recover VHD files for Server 2008 R2
Hi there!
I'm lost recovering the VM's VHD files of a Windows Server Backup of Server 2008 Hyper-V.
I have two files inside a backup destination directory:
\\storageserver\f$\VMs\backup.cbm - 195 KB (200.512 bytes)
\\storageserver\f$\VMs\backup.vhd - 97,6 GB (104.857.600.512 bytes)
When mounting the backup VHD on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition without Hyper-V Role installed, Device Manager says:
Disk 3 - Unknown - 97,66 GB - Not Initialized
97,66 GB - Unallocated
When I try to restore using Windows Server Backup on either Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition without Hyper-V Role or Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, I select:
- Recover...
- A backup stored on another location
- Remote shared folder
- \\storageserver\f$\VMs
- Error:
The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup. Provide the path to a remote shared folder that contains backups.
How can I solve this? I do not need to recover the VM's configuration, just the VM's VHDs is fine.
What the ____ is a CBM file?
Thank you!

wbadmin: how to recover files that were modified on a particular date?
Hi guys,
We got hit with the crytolocker virus on 4/11/2014. There's about 8000 files that were infected and therefor need to restore these files using windows backup.
Is it possible to use WBADMIN to recover files that were modified on 4/10/2014 and 4/11/2014? my goal here is to only recover the files that the virus modified and not recover 100,000 files that weren't infected.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

VSS Full Backup - what's 'really' going on?
I have taken over in a new role and found that while backups were being conducted on a regular basis, the backup solution was not VSS aware and almost 1TB of log files had accrued since Exchange was installed in 2011!
I have implemented the use of the Windows Server Backup utility on the Windows 2008 R2 server that hosts Exchange 2010.
After verifying that I had achieved consistency within the mail databases, I scheduled a Full VSS Backup to run every night to a series of externally attached USB hard drives, and was happy to see that each days Exchange log files are now being flushed after each back up.
However, when reviewing the backup reports within Windows Server backup utility, I note that each backup following the initial FULL backup to each hard drive is referred to as Incremental? I was under the impression that in specifying a VSS FULL Backup, any existing backup found within the WindowsImageBackup folder on the backup media would be overwritten in it's entirety but it seems that the existing Full backup is instead being 'modified' by each subsequent backup?
Also, the collective size of the .vhd files created on the backup media is significantly larger than the space shown within Windows Explorer as 'used' on each of the volumes backed up?
Could someone please explain these apparent anomalies? - Thanks

Sync 2 iSCSI NAS Boxes?
Is it possible to sync 2 iSCSI NAS boxes under Windows 2012 R2 Essentials? We're using one of the NAS boxes for all of our data (including Folder Redirection for user folders) and we'd like to be able to sync it with another on a regular schedule.
The 2nd box is needed for the possibility of any legal discovery so we can surrender our data without shutting down the operation. So it's important that we're able to sync (mirror?) our data, and more importantly our user folder data to the second NAS.
Anyone have a good suggestion on this?

Can I shrink a logical drive, and not the extended partition, to do a bare metal restore to a smaller drive?
The current configuration is a Dell T310, with an S300 controller, with all 4 hot-swap slots filled with SAS drives. The operating system is SBS 2008 (2008 Server/Vista) I plan to change the controller from S300 (software) controller, to an
H700 (hardware) controller. My concern is the H700 reports the drives slightly smaller in size.
The typical Dell layout is diagnostic partition, followed by a Recovery (E:) partition, followed by the System (C:) partition, followed by an extended partition with a logical volume (D:). If I use Diskpart to shrink the D: "partition", it will leave me with free space, not unallocated space. Thus, it actually shrinks the logical drive, and the extended partition remains the same size as it was, with no means to shrink it.
The question is, if I shrink the D: logical drive, and not the extended partition, and then get system backups, will I be able to a bare metal restore to the smaller virtual drive of the H700?

Can't stop Windows Server Backup
Server 2008 R2 SP1 using Windows Server Backup connected to NAS via iSCSI. Scheduled nightly backups have been working correctly for over a year.
A running backup has been stuck for 12+hours with the message "Removing deleted items..." There is plenty of storage available on the NAS.
Attempting to cancel the job via GUI brings up another window "Please wait..." with a progress bar continually looping from 0 to 100%. Running cmd as Administrator using wbadmin stop job, prompts Yes or No , answering Y doesn't responds with a blank line. I can't reboot the server until the weekend, are there processes or other services I can try to stop?

Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context
I performed backup of a volume storing a database on my server using Windows Server Backup (WSB).
Now I have some old shadows that I would like to remove.
To do that, I use the vssadmin command with ShadowID that I'd like to remove:
vssadmin delete shadows /Shadow={9bae879d-979e-4ec0-b252-720de085d2bf}
However, I get the response
Error: Snapshots were found, but they were outside of your allowed context. Try
removing them with the backup application which created them.
Well, the application that created these shadows was WSB, and WSB GUI does not have command to delete old shadows.
How can I delete these shadows?
TIA

Windows Server 2012 ESSENTIALS File History Backups Explained
Hey everyone,
I have a question, so our server is backing up all client computers to a "file history backups" folder on the servers hardrive.
For one of the users I cannot figure out where data, in a folder, is coming from.
The file structure is as follows:
D:\File History Backups\UserName\Computer\UserName@Domain.local\Computer\Data\$OF
I'm not sure what the $OF is referring to and where the data is coming from. Its filled with data but I'm not sure from where on the client computer.
Each folder has data in it.
Can you please explain what is going on.

Using a 2nd NIC for high troughput storageserver connection on Windows2012R2 server
Hi,
We have a setup where we use a physical Windows 2012R2 server as a dedicated backupserver. This server is running Veeam backup and replication services and has both a Network Attached Storage repository attached and a local external tapestreamer. It will have to backup our virtual mahines from a VMWare ESX hostserver.
This backupserver server has 2 Gigabit NIC's, and the Storagaserver (NAS) has also 2 Gigabit NIC's. The network switch however still has obsolete 100mb ports and has no free ports left.
So the easiest way for my customer would be to purchase a new Gigabit switch. This will happen in time but we are requested to look for an easier solution for the moment.
We therefore have connected the NAS to the second NIC of the backupserver thus creating a Gigibit link.
Would like some advise about the configuration now. We have some options:
- creating second separate network segment for the storage server, which will need a routing proces on the backupserver (will this not greatly affect the performance of the troughput?)
- teaming the NIC's in a way that heavy traffic to the NAS will not affect the network traffic to the LAN. I could need some advise..there is more that one way to team the NIC's, waht is the best way ?
Thank you for your advise.

Robocopy wont reset archive attribute with /M switch..incremental backup to zip folder...RESOLVED!!!
hello, OS server 2012, 2008 r2, w7 ult.
I want to make backup only files which have archive attribute set. /M switch is what I need but robocopy wont reset archive bit from subfolders and only reset bit on files in root of source folder. How to force robocopy to reset archive bit from all copied files???
This is syntax:
@echo off
set year=%date:~10,4%
set month=%date:~4,2%
set day=%date:~7,2%
SET Now=%Time: =0%
SET Hours=%Now:~0,2%
SET Minutes=%Now:~3,2%
Robocopy c:\source c:\dest /m /s /r:1 /w:1 /log:"c:\dest\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year% %hours%h-%minutes%m.log" /NP
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip -mx1 C:\c\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year%-%hours%h-%minutes%m.zip C:\dest
echo Y | DEL C:\Temp\*.*
I can use attrib command but I have in working folder 900.000 files so this is not option.
_______________
edit....robocopy work as expected in 2012 standard. /M switch reset archive attribute so I can use robocopy for incremental backups.
Script: c:\a is source and c:\b is destination. c:\b\temp is temporary folder from where 7zip package backed up files to archive. After 7zip finish jod script delete all files folders from temp folder. I want to use zip archive because this will be much easier for file system. With time I will have some zip files instead 10000000 files or folders. Zip files will have in name date and time for easier tracking.
@echo offset year=%date:~10,4%
set month=%date:~4,2%
set day=%date:~7,2%
SET Now=%Time: =0%
SET Hours=%Now:~0,2%
SET Minutes=%Now:~3,2%
Robocopy c:\a c:\b\temp /s /m /r:1 /w:1 /log:"c:\b\temp\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year% %hours%h-%minutes%m.log" /NP
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip -mx1 C:\b\Incremental_%month%-%day%-%year%-%hours%h-%minutes%m.zip C:\b\Temp
