"one or more server hard drives must be checked for errors" every day when backup occurs

October 19, 2014, 12:20 pm
$
0
0

This is on Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials specifically. But I saw the same behavior on 2012 Essentials before switching.

Both on the Dashboard's alerts and daily health reports, it indicates that one or more drives are unhealthy and need to be fixed. However, it does not list any disk specifically. This occurs several minutes after the backups are scheduled, and will change when it happens if I change the time for the backups. 

This happens EVERY DAY. Deleting or ignoring the reports just cause it to come back. Disabling backups, or disconnecting the drive they're stored on doesn't fix it. Neither does formatting the drive and setting up backups again.

I've not found any specific errors, and I've scanned the system partitions using their volume ID, and that hasn't helped.

No virus scanner nor disk tools are installed. There are no 3rd party file system filters installed either.

The Event Viewer doesn't indicate any issues specifically either.

This is frustrating and annoying.

Server 2012R2 Windows backup 100% CPU usage and no backup

October 1, 2014, 3:02 am

Hello!

I have a problem with two VM´s on a HP Proliant ML350p Gen8, that has Windows Server 2012R2 operating system with Hyper-V role installed.

Both VM´s are also 2012R2, one is DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT and the other one is Exchange 2013.

The problem itself is that, when Windows backup (wbengine.exe - Block level backup engine service) inside VM starts, it uses almost maximum CPU resource, so the VM´s CPUs are 100% used. Backup itself is not working, there is no network trafic. Only way to get rid of 100% CPU usage is to restart the server.

When i start backup manually (Backup once - scheduled backup options), it is working and the CPU usage is around 20-30%.

One VM (DC/DNS/FILE/PRINT) has 2x vCPU and Exchange has 4x vCPU.

The problem started suddenly, the backup were performing slowly and failed.

Backups are scheduled on different time. Host level Hyper-V backup of VM´s works without any problem.

The backup location is Synology DS414 NAS and the servers are set up using iSCSI, for connecting separate backup lun´s for each server.

The Hyper-V host and both VM´s are patched up-to-date. Ofcourse i have tried a lot of restarts, looking event log, VSSADMIN - cannot find any errors...

The network setup:

Hyper-V host has a team of two physical adapters, that is set up with a external virtual switch (shared with management operating system) and used by the VM`s normal network trafic.

Hyper-V host itself is using separte physcial network card, for connecting with iSCSI to Synology NAS.

I tried to set up another physical network card on the host and create a new virtual swich, add extra virtual nic to VM`s and use this for iSCSI traffic for Windows backup and it didnt make things better.

I need to find a solution, because i cannot restart the server every night for the backups to work.

2TB Limit

I have a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 Enterprise installation.  The System/Boot drive (MBR) is a pair of 150GB, hardware mirrored drives.  The data drive (GPT) is a hardware RAID5 arrangement consiting of 5-1TB drives for a total useable of 4TB.  Right now, 120GB are loaded onto this drive.   Using Windows backup, the system fails with an error referring to the 2TB limit.  The backup is to an empty 1TB E-sata drive for testing purposes (this will eventually be replaced with some type of larger external drive).  This machine will have a very large database on it which will be more that 2TB eventually so it will need to be backed up all at once.  GPT disks have been around since Windows 2003, so I am assuming there is a fix for this situation.  However, I have been unable to find a fix.  There have been some references to a "Beta" service pack, but I have not seen a Hotfix to address this problem and since this will be a "production" server, we don't install "Beta" software.  Any ideas here would help.

I did a Win 2008 r2 remote backup to a shared external HD, on an XP machine, for a number of years and then had to get rid of the XP machine because of lack of Microsoft support. I set up the new remote BU on a new Win 7 machine now for I am getting an error "Volumes larger that 2 Tb cannot be protected". I tried to set it up to a 1 Tb external HD but continue to get the same error message when I try and schedule a remote BU. Is there someway to delete the old remote BU and start fresh besides using the cmd prompt. I have googled this and see no easy solution.

Unable to stop Windows Server Backup

October 30, 2014, 11:01 am

We've been running Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012 Essentials successfully for a while now.  Backups are performed nightly and have been completing successfully on a schedule.  We have been rotating between 3 (sometimes 4) USB connected external drives.  Yesterday, I changed the configuration to target just 1 drive.  It was 75% complete this morning but I wanted to stop the backup to continue some configuration changes (we recently encrypted both our internal system and data drives -both are included in the backups - and I wanted to start a BitLocker encryption of one of another backup drive)

The documented way to Stop a Backup from Dashboard is to simply find your server in Devices, right-mouse-click it, and choose "Stop backup for the server".  Unfortunately, this has no effect and the backup appears to be hung (have waited a couple of hours now for it to stop gracefully).

I have tried launching wbadmin but it, too, appears to be hung showing "Reading data; please wait..."

Short of physically disconnecting the USB drive or rebooting the server, is there any way to stop the processes involved?  I have had trouble trying to locate the processes involved via Task Manager.  When I do, I can usually kill backup in this fashion, but I usually have to follow this with a server reboot before I can use Windows Backup successfully again.  So any help here would be appreciated.

This issue of not being able to stop a running backup has been frequent with us under many different circumstances and usually happens whenever we suspect a backup will not finish in a timely fashion (for example, changing the backup schedule to target a different number of drives when not all our drives are physically connected seems to confuse Windows Server Backup).  Workaround has been just to wait for the backup to finish - even if it appears to be hung.  Sometimes it finishes, other times not.

Checking the event log, it shows a volsnap Event ID 25 error from early this morning that may or may not be related to the fact we can't stop the backup.  Interestingly, the description in Event Viewer for this error reads "The description for Event ID 25 from source volsnap cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event:  \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy239 I: The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present"  -- Why??  

I think this is referring to our recently encrypted drive which I assigned a device letter of "I:".  It is connected to the server along with our "hung" backup drive that I had targeted yesterday when I changed our Backup Schedule and configuration.

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can share.

Hello,

We are currently using Windows Server Backup to backup three Hyper-V guests running on a Windows 2008 R2 host.  Two guests are running Server 2008 R2 and one is running Windows 7.  I have the backups going to a dedicated external disk drive.

WSB backs up the two 2008 R2 Hyper-V guests just fine.  However, when attempting to backup the Windows 7 Hyper-V guest, I receive the following error:

Error in backup of <Windows 7.vhd> during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.

I ran a "vssadmin list writers" and all the VSS writers showed "Stable" with no errors.  I have plenty of space on the external drive as well.  I've read this article: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455?wa=wsignin1.0#workaroundissue12 except that doesn't seem to be what I'm experiencing here.

Anyone have any suggestions?

WS2012 R2 Recovery from Windows Backup Not Working

November 1, 2014, 2:44 am

Hi,

I tried to perform a bare metal recovery of a Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system backup but I can't get it to recover or access earlier restore points.  Any help would be appreciated!  I want to avoid reinstalling the OS *again*.

I have a hardware install of Windows Server 2012 R2 on drive (a), backup services saved to drive (b), and my server folders on RAID pool (c).  I had verified that Windows Server Backup was executing daily and I was previously able to see several backups in the list of restore points.

I first tried to use the Windows Recovery Wizard to restore a "Volumes" recovery on drive (a); however, I can't select the "Source Volume" (C:) to equal the "Desination Volume" (C:).  I just want to replace the current drive (a) with what's backed up.  Why is this?  Should this be working with source equal to destination?

Then, when restoring Windows using startup disk & recovery options, I can't see more than the last backup.  Older restore points are not available.  Plus, my local administrator password is not being accepted.  So many things are going wrong...


The last thing I did was enable the Windows Server Essentials role and set it up, which did include picking a domain name.  I wasn't happy with the ".local" TLD that was automatically created so I wanted to restore before Essentials was set up. Is this what is preventing a recovery?


Thanks!

When will Windows Server Backup allow USB flash drives as a target?

June 11, 2012, 9:38 am

Their storage capacity - up to 256 GB - equals that of many backup tapes (200 GB for example).

*

(This would probably be beyond most budgets:

http://www.cfgear.com/what-is-the-biggest-usb-flash-drive/ )

*

With USB 3.0, backup and restore could be very rapid.

Why can't we use them as a target for Windows Server Backup operations?

Unless something has changed (and maybe it has), we are limited to:

1. External hard drive (with nothing else on if we want to run scheduled backups to that drive).

2. Network target (shared folder on another server somewhere else).

3. DVD (given that maximum capacity is just under 10GB, this option is next to useless).

Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

dedicated backup target and shadow copy settings under disk management...

November 2, 2014, 8:38 am

I have noticed a few things that are concerning to me, but before applying changes I was hoping to get an answer as to the reason why they are configured as such.

My backup (Windows Server Backup), is configured to utilize a dedicated device as the target with VSS Full Backup.  The device shows up in Disk Manager ,everything seems fine.  However, when I examine the Shadow Copies property for my volumes, I see that this device (listed only by its' GUID), has had VSS enabled on it, with "no limits" applied.

Is this normal?

Is Windows Server Backup using that VSS space on the dedicated drive to store incremental versions of my backup policy or of the drive itself?

If I put limits on VSS policy for the dedicated drive, will this affect the total number of historical archives of the backup schedule or just the changes to the drive itself?  If it only affects the backup incremental, how do I calculate how many?

Also, since the default VSS copy schedule is applied, "if" the schedule for it's VSS process conflicts with the backup schedule.. I may see problems?
