I am using DPM 2012 SP1, but to keep things simple I ran the built-in windows 2012 system state backup and it fails. I have two 2012 servers with the exact same behavior.
My Environment:
OS=Server 2012
Virtual = Yes
Virtual Environment = Hyper-V 2012 Cluster
Command = wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:C:
NOTE: I can run a NTDSUTil AD Snapshot and it works.
System Partition = NTFS
OS Partition = NTFS

Hello all,
I would like to separate data flow on my NIC interfaces. One only for public use....where all data flows through, and one only for the backup, which will be used by windows backup only. Two interfaces, two seperate network. IS that possible to control that?
Hello,
I would like to configure out Windows Server 2008 R2 servers for automatic updates (C disk, system state, two folders on D disk). I can do this with Backup Schedule option but this option enables me to create only one backup task, but I need more than one backup
task on the same server. Is there any way to overcome this issue? If nothing else, I believe I can do this with wbadmin, but is there any GUI way like it was in NT Backup? If wbadmin is the only way, can you please give me an example how to run wbadmin so
that it will backup system state, including bare metal backup, C partition and boot partition and Folders FolderA and FolderB on D partition.
Also, should I use -vssFull switch in wbadmin or not?
One more question about Windows SharePoint 3.0 backup. What is the best (and free) way to backup full WSS database, sites configuration, files - to create a full WSS backup?
Thank you!
Best wishes,

Is it possible to use powershell to backup a dc 2008 r2 system state from another pc
the reason is i want to be able to create a script that checks the dc ou in ad and backup the system states
this means if a new dc gets added it will be backed up
i have 3 domains as well so i am trying to simpify the backups and want to be able to report the results to a web page
any help would be great
Hi,
I am hoping to reuse an existing Dell server to use as my primary backup device. The simple reason is that is has a large capacity and will save me investing in a new storage device.
I have installed Server 2012 on the server and am curious -
1. Should I just create a share on the large volume and point my backup software to the share. In this case should I team the NICs on the server to spread the load.
OR
2. Should I configure the Server 2012 as an iSCSI target.
If I go with Option 2 I need to configure iSCSI Initiator on each device to be backed up - in some cases this is already configured already e.g. my File Server and Hyper-V host already use iSCSI sessions to connect to my SAN. Will this cause a conflict or can these devices use the same iSCSI ports to connect to various iSCSI targets?
Thanks
Hi,
I am tring to restore a Server 2008 R2 Standard Ed (full installation) RTM to a virtual machine, from a full Windows Server Backup image taken of a physical machine (Dell PE 2970). All restores fine, and looks good until it tries to boot, when a Stop Error occurs, with the following error:
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFFFFF880009A9928, 0xFFFFFFFFC0000034, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)
I believe the non-bracketed portion means "INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE".
There is only the System Reserved volume + a C: volume (system volume) + F: volume (DVD drive) on the original server. It has had other volumes in it before, which are correctly listed in the MountedDevices registry key, but they have not been physically present for a while.
The virtual disk I'm trying to restore to is several GBs larger than the original virtual disk on the RAID controller (2 disks in RAID 1).
I can't figure out why the server isn't booting. I've successfully restored Server 2008 machines from physical machines to VMs before, including servers using hardware RAID cards (e.g. Dell SAS 6/iR). The only difference I can think of is that this is Server 2008 R2, this is a 2 proc server (I've tried several virtual proc numbers on the VM to no avail), and the RAID controller is PERC 6/i, and this is the first server I've tried with that particular RAID card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's to point out that I'm looking in the wrong direction.
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi,
I set up an NTBackup scheduled task. But the problem is that the job doesn't run when the user isn't logged on. Even when I try to execute only NtBackup with a scheduled task, it doesn't start when I'm not logged on with the user specified.
I urgently need a solution for this problem and it's no option to leave the user logged in.
Hi please help, Windows Server backup keeps failing with an error "The drive cannot find the sector requested", I am doing a full backup to an external drive which has been dedicated for backups, it does about 94.6gb out of 95gb so is close to
finishing. I have performed a check disk, updated all my hardware drivers (its a HP server with hardware mirrored drives), I am at a loss - does anyone have any ideas or solutions.
I have uninstalled and rebooted the server and then reinstalled but still get the same error
Also must add that this is a live server, oh and is my first server 2012 install (soon to be last!!)
Greetings!
WSB 1st setup Schedule backup where on advanced tab I selected full backup.
On this address: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772523.aspx I have read that once you do full backup, WSB is going automatically do Incremental by itself:
, but I don't think it works in my case, because the next time the WSB ran a scheduled backup it didnt do any smaller files, it has recreated the FULL VHD files again. I'm doing Backup on a VOLUME disk. I would expected this scenario:
First time running scheduled task creates VHD file in:
E:\WindowsImageBackup\SERVERNAME\Backup 2013-09-01 184035\localdisc-C.VHD (50GB)
The next time running scheduled task it would created:
E:\WindowsImageBackup\SERVERNAME\Backup 2013-09-01 184035\localdisc-C(incremental-changes).VHD (100MB)
Any hints?

Hello,
i have the problem, that sometimes the backup of my Exchange2007-Databases fails (CCR-Setup).
NTBackup-Process get started over a scheduled task. If the error occurs the ntbackup-process did not end and runs on.
In the Eventlogs I got the following failure:
Source: Application Error
EventID:1000
Category: 100
Type Error:
Faulting application ntbackup.exe, version 5.2.3790.3959, faulting module ntbackup.exe, version 5.2.3790.3959, fault address 0x00000000000a4aba.
How can I fix that issue? I found no real solution about that...

Does Window's center ever call people to tell them they are showing virus coming through on their server? I had a person call (of course with an accent) that stated that I had virus hitting the windows center and he had to remote in to remove them from my system. He did have me go to the event viewer and I have tons of errors showing, but how can I trust this person is actually from windows?? I wouldn't let him remote in, and I tried to run a malware program which did find 3 issues and they are removed, however, how do I remove these errors this guy from "windows" is talking about?? And would it really be windows calling??
Does anybody knows on how to fix " The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed " it appears on the client side using windows server 2008 r2.
i tried to access using administrator account but i cannot logged in. what should i do next pls.

I've got a Dell PET110 that came to me with 2 500GB drives as separate drives, rather then in a RAID 1, like I requested. Unfortunately, I did not realize this until after I had set it up & figured I could just run a backup, create my RAID & restore
from that backup, but keep getting the error message shown in pics included. I'm using an external USB drive for backup & have tried not plugging it in until I'm asked to locate backup, as I've read booting with USB drive attached can cause problems. The
process does see my backup, but once I try to start the restore process, it craps out! I am able to restore the backup to the drives with no problem if I set them back as two separate drives. I'd also like to point out that I am not backing up anything from
the 2nd drive, as I thought it might be confused trying to restore from 2 drives to one. Also, there is plenty of free space on new drives. I had thought about shrinking the original drive before backing up, so it would appear I was going from a smaller drive
to a larger one, but ran out of time & just put everything back as it was. Dell has been no help on this, unless I'd like to pay for a higher support plan. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
