Hi all
I installed a brand new Dell PowerEdge T310 at the weekend, with a clean install of 2008R2. Roles are .Net IIS, DC, DNS, DHCP. The server has 8GB RAM and a PERC RAID1 array.
I have scheduled the backup (20:30) to do a full backup (C:, system state, bare metal) to external USB drives.
Every day so far the backup has failed, but when I logon to the server and choose to run it manually it always succeeds.
Event log messages are:
Event 40961, VSS
ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason: Unable to obtain disk information for device 1 (Win32 error code 0x2).
Event 753, Backup
The Block Level Backup Engine service has successfully started.
Event 561, Backup
The backup operation that started at '1601-01-01T00:00:00.000000000Z' has failed because no backup storage location could be found. Please confirm that the backup storage location is attached and online, and then rerun the backup operation.
Event 546, Backup
The backup operation attempted at '2011-11-22T20:30:04.898299200Z' has failed to start, error code '2155348061' (Windows Backup cannot find any of the backup storage locations.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
The server is remote and no-one can possibly be tinkering with (only I have remote access and the office closed for the day four hours ago). But if I remote to the server and run it manually, it runs.
Does anyone have any advice please? I don't really want to be running manually every day :-)
Many thanks,
Jim
