Unable to add extra disk to WSB

I have a 2012 server running Hyper-V with 4 VM servers running 2012. Backup of all of them is done from within each server using Windows Server Backup.

I have a removable drive system that uses 1 TB cartridges. On each cartridge I created a VHDX file for each of the 4 VMs to attach to each and use as a backup drive in WSB. The cartridges are swapped periodically. Since both drives can't be online at the same time, to set this up, with cartridge #1 in place I attached the VHDX in Disk Management on each server. Then in WSB I added the first attached drive. Then I swapped in cartridge #2, attached the VHDX in Disk Management and using wbadmin at the command prompt, I added the drive from that cartridge.

This was working fine until recently when I started having troubles with the backup of 2 of the VMs. On cartridge #1 all backups are working fine. On cartridge #2 two of the backups work fine but two do not. After trying to resolve the problem without success, I finally decided to delete the VHDX file for those 2 servers on cartridge #2 and create new ones. But when I tried to add them via wbadmin after the drive is formatted and labeled by wbadmin there is another line displayed that says "The system cannot find the path specified". Because of this WSB does not see the second drive.

I've used this same setup on other Hyper-V setups and never ran into this. I've run out of things to try or look at. I hope someone here has an idea of why I would get that message at the end of the process: wbadmin enable backup -addtarget:{disk identifier number}.

Hello!

I use Windows Server 2012R2 with Hyper-V role and Windows Server Backup to backup some VMs.

Guest VMs running Windows Server 2012R2 and CentOS 6.5 minimal with all available updates installed.

I have problem with only one VM running CentOS 6.5: The component c2p-dev(offiline) was skipped during the snapshot and will not be available for recovery. Error: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error is likely to reoccur.

Manually I can do Checkpoint for this VM.

I installed Linux Integration Services 3.5 but error still reoccur.

Nearby VM running same OS and same LIS 3.5 backupped ok.

Here's Event Viewer:

How can I fix it?

On 2012R2 with all updates as of Oct 9 2014, run the following commands:

vssadmin.exe create shadow /for=c:
mklink.exe /d c:\snap \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\
reg.exe load HKLM\snap c:\snap\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM

results in :

ERROR: An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry.

Is this expected behavior?

I have repeated this test with 2012R2 running as a VM on 3 hypervisors (ESXi, KVM, VirtualBox).

Backing up and restoring a member DC to new hardware.

Hello,

Sounds simple to me but I want to be sure on what I'm doing.

We have many sites with a domain controller at each location. The DC with all the FSMO roles is here at Corp. I need to move one of our member DC controller at a different site to new hardware. It is a Global Catalog, DNS, DHCP and file server.

Can I do this by using windows backup to back up System State, Bare Metal Recovery, System Reserve and Local Disk C: (Full Server) and restore it to the new Hardware as long as my HDD are same or bigger?  Please remember this is a member DC.

I really hope to avoid the demotion of the current member DC and installing a fresh OS on the new hardware and promoting that to a DC.

Thanks

Server 2012 Backup

I'm using Windows Server Backup on a Server 2012 machine. I'm trying to backup about 1.2TB worth of Data to a 3TB USB drive. I'm running into issues with backups locking up. I keep getting Event ID 129 Warnings from VHDMP saying "Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort3, was issued." It will fire of this warning every 30 seconds until I unplug the USB drive. I've read that in server 2008 R2 there was an issue backing up more than 2TB of data to a USB drive larger than 2TB, is that still true for Server 2012? I'd rather not have to purchase another backup product.

Upgrading a Windows 2003 server running Terminal Services (Backing up RDP Profiles and Data)

Hello,



I am looking at changing out an older Windows 2003 Standard server and installing a new HP Proliant 310 server that will  run Windows 2008 R2.

I did not setup the 2003 server and have not installed Terminal Server before. All the users RDP into the current server for everything - email (Outlook and Outlook Express), applications (Church application that handles all aspects of the congregation), files documents. 

My purpose of this is inquiry is to make sure everything gets backed up properly.

The proposed new server would be setup without Terminal Services. The clients would login to the domain and gain access to shared files on the server and have all the apps installed on their computer(s). 



What is the best way to backup the existing server and make sure all the user profiles data get backed up?



Doing some research on this I was thinking of connecting an external hardrive that is formatted as FAT32. Then open a Remote Desktop to the server under each client or profile, back up each clients files, PST files and so on to the external drive. Then transfer all the backup and move the files to their folder on the server and also the public folder as well. The main church application is in its own folder and I can move the entire folder to a backup drive per the software company.



Is this the best way to accomplish the backup of their data? Will it work?



Any thoughts tips, suggestions would be helpful.



Thanks,

Paul

Windows Server 2012 R2 Backups have the wrong time

Because of serious problems with Server 2012R2 and the fact it activates without permission and support is absolute garbage, I made Windows Server Backups at various stages of the install so I would not have to start the install again from scratch, however the times of the backups when attempting a restore are around 11 hours earlier than the time they where actually made and the time of creation that is shown in the Windows Backup program.

Backing up 2012 RODC with DPM 2012 SP1

Hi All,

I am having issues with setting up a backup of a RODC on server 2012, with our DPM server which is DPM 2012 SP1 with up to date roll ups.  I have been able to get the agent to report as "OK" on the DPM server, but when I try to backup the files I get the below message:

DPM cannot access the path \\?\Volume{lots of numbers} because part of the path has been deleted or renamed

Check the path and enter it again.

ID: 36

Details: Internal error code: 0x80990F43

I have looked around and everything I have found on this is saying it is the shadow copies.  I have removed all of the shadow copies and the scheduled tasks, but still cannot get the file level backup to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Windows Server Backup hangs every 2'nd time

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials which runs in Hyper-V on an HP Microserver (gen. 8) with host OS WS2012 R2. The guest VM is running a backup job every night to a physical pass through disk, but  since about one month back in time it has begun freezing the system. 

If I reboot the server the backup job runs as expected the first night, but the second night it gets stuck at "Backup in progress…" and a CPU load of almost 100%, same thing every time. :(

I can't find anything relevant in the event logs… What might be causing this trouble?

Hi guys..

At a small office we are running a free edition of esxi 5.5 on an IBM Server. 2 Windows 2008 R2 VMS are configured on the Host.

All of a sudden the Windows Backups to External USB Hardrives are taking 48 hours or so to Complete and not the usual 10 or so.

Nothing seems to stand out in the Event Viewer. Any ideas what could have suddenly caused this issue ?

Hi all,

During backup operations, on my Windows Server 2012 R2 (Hyper-v role installed) I find this warning in Event Log:

Event ID 51: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk5\DR43 during a paging operation.

How could I solve this issue? or Could I safely ignore this message?

Just for information, before latest OS Update Rollup installation, we also found the event below:

Event ID 157: Disk 5 has been surprise removed.

Thanks a lot,

[2008R2] Prevent event : The shadow copies of volume D: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time

During the restore of data using VSS Snapshots it deleted all the snapshots, this event was written in the system log : 

The shadow copies of volume D: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.  Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.

It only restored 20 GB of data and there should be plenty of space in the Shadow copy storage

Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.692 GB (0%)
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 5.397 GB (0%)
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 694.752 GB (18%)

When there isn't enough space it should start to delete the oldest snapshots to free up additional space, but it deletedall the snapshots. The problem is the IO but how to prevent this from happening again?

I had a significant loss of both the Servers and Clients in a big electrical spike, fortunately I have one drive of data that survived . I loaded server back into new hardware and it sees some back ups saying they are removed but it still has partials, it stops in retrieval at 81 % it is backing up to totally new computers so it tells me it doesn't recognized the operating systems, and therefore stops working, I have about 500 g in backups with some wide ranging files , but I am stuck as to how to either extract them from there drive positions now, or have the new machines recognized as the old that it appears it needs to work?
