Hi,

 I am backing up virtual machines by Windows Server Backup and everything work with exception of one server - RDS. The machine is backed up but Windows server backup keeps only last six copies altough there is 272GB of 459GB of free space. This is not he case for other servers(file, print, database, dc,...).

 Is there a way how to force WSB to use all the space?

Thank you.

We have a DELL R510 server with Windows SBS 2011 (Data, Exchange, ...), we running out of space on the server. We currently have this configuration:

  • 2x 300GB SAS in RAID 1
  • 2x 2TB SATA in RAID 1

We want to add 4x 4TB SAS in RAID 10. To be able to read the new hard drive we need to change the server boot option from BIOS to UEFI.

My question is: Can I backup the server (bare metal with windows backup), change from BIOS to UEFI and restore the backup, without reinstalling ? If not, how can I proceed (convert MBR to GPT) ?

Windows Server 2012 restore system state Without Directory Service Recovery Mode

$

I have a 2012 DC that crashed during a System State restore..the server hardware vendor believes my original issues and reasons for initial problems were caused by a bad raid card.

I am now trying to get this DC back in a functioning state so I can demote it gracefully and remove some services from it (DNS/DHCP).

If I boot the computer to DSR it will reboot sporadically.  Is there a way to do a system state restore besides this?  From a command prompt? 

Thanks for any assistance.

Hello. I have a Windows 2012 R2 server running Hyper-V and Windows Backup returning the error "Backup succeeded but some components backed up were inconsistent in the snapshot." The backup that's failing is of a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard created using Sysinternals Disk2VHD. The event log on the VM shows this error:

Source: vmicvss

Event ID: 16

"Could not find a matching original Lun for shadow Lun \\.\PhysicalDrive1."

This is followed by:

Source: vss

Event ID: 12293

Any help would be much appreciated.

System Stat Backup Failure

Having a drive in my Raid 5 array with an imminent failure.

Dell says that it is "punching" (??) and creating data issues for the other drives for the future.

They sent me the replacement drive, but recommend I clear out and rebuild the array.The maching is my PDC, hosting VMs also (Including Exchange)

I was planning to do a Bare Metal Backup/Restore.

I have all my data backed up, but did not want to have to reinstall the Domain, etc.

System State is NOT backing up, either using GUI or Command Line.

Errors:

The backup of the system state failed [9/25/2014 4:18 PM].
Log of files successfully backed up:
C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup-25-09-2014_16-12-58.log

Log of files for which backup failed:
C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup_Error-25-09-2014_16-12-5

The operation ended before completion.
The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Any ideas?

Tried a MS Hotfix that was posted as applicable, but turns out it was not.

Deadline is tomorrow.

I have another machine (Server 2003) that I could transfer the Domain roles to, but hate to, unless I must.

Thanks in advance for any help/ideas.

We have our server set to backup to an internal HDD (E:), and then copy all the files in E: to different locations for storage (a NAS for instance).  I scheduled a copy to a USB drive, but I can't get the recovery wizard to see the backup it now contains.  I choose "A backup stored in another location" and then "Remote shared folder", as the USB (G:) does not show up in Local drives.  I now need to enter a UNC (it won't accept the "G:\" path), so I shared the USB drive and enter "\\SERVER\G\2014-09-23", which is the path to the parent of the WindowsImageBackup folder on the USB drive.  At this point I get the above error "The backup location does specified does not contain any backup"

All the files look to have copied OK, and have the same Date Modified as on the server: as far as I can tell it's identical, and yet it won't mount. Help?

Server 2008 Std R2 Backup warnings

Hello,
I'm having a problem for a while now with Windows Server Backup (with VSS). I don't really know when this started.
The thing is 3 of 5 partitions are backing up with warnings. Process can't backup some of the files which are:
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku F:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku G:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku E:\System Volume Information\SRM\datascrn.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.
Błąd podczas zapisu przy tworzeniu kopii zapasowej pliku E:\System Volume Information\SRM\quota.md: błąd [0x80070020] Proces nie może uzyskać dostępu do pliku, ponieważ jest on używany przez inny proces.

Process can't access these files because they are being used by other process. As I found out these files are disk quota files. I also read that I may backup them manually but I don't like that idea.
I tried disabling Antivirus software, deleting excludes from backup, changing time of backup. Nothing works.
I got 2 questions.

1. Will these errors make restoring backup impossible?
2. How I can fix this?

Windows backup not being seen after server failure windows 2012

Running Lenovo thinkserver with Raid 5 with 4 drives and Server 2012 Standard Had 2 drives go at the same time so had to reconfigure and reinstall everything, all data lost. It was under warranty so the tech came out and replaced 1 drive and am currently waiting for the 2nd drive. So currently am running a 3 disk Raid 5. I used windows backup to create full backups and now when I try to restore from that backup, it just hangs and hangs and hangs and won't find the backups. THe backup is stored on Seagate Expansion+ 3TB drive. I know there are some issues with these (which apparantly I didn't know) but I have to get this backup off and installed somehow, I can't handle resetting up the entire system. Please help, I am desperate!

Question regarding Windows Server Backup for 2012r2 and multiple disks

$

I'm a little new to this, so sorry if this is repeat. I looked around but couldn't find what I was looking for.

I want to setup my backup to rotate between two external USB drives. I know I have to connect both of them at the same time for the initial setup. But my question comes when I start rotating the disks nightly, or weekly or whatever the rotation will be.

Situation: Disk A is plugged in on day 1, does full backup (I'm assuming). Disk B is plugged in on day 2, does full backup? Assuming yes, when I plug disk A back in on day 3, will it do a full backup again, or does it do an incremental backup?

Then, once I plug back in Disk B on day 4 or 5 or whenever I plug it back in and the backup runs (disk A unplugged), will it backup everything since the last time the backup was ran for Disk B (so 2 or 3 days worth of data) or will it only put information onto the drive since the last backup ran in general (the backup ran the night before for Disk A)?

Again, sorry if this is a basic question. Trying to help out a friend and don't have a ton of experience yet with 2012.

Thanks in advance!


Server 2012 Windows Backup to local disk: Only 12 generations?

$
0
0

Have a Windows 2012 Server with a scheduled backup Job to a local attached USB disk. The job is running for months without Errors. The disk is about 30% full. Despite that, I have only 12 generations of backups:

According my understanding, Windows Backup should fill up the disk with backups and start to delete older backups only when there is insufficient disk space.

Any advice? Are these "12 copies" configurable?

Thank you all in advance for any help

Disk recovery of backup device

I had two drives fail in my HP DL380 running Microsoft SBS 2008 R2. I replaced the drives and reloaded Windows 2008 disk 1.  I've been backing up the server daily to an external hard drive however, when I booted from the first disk from SBS 2008 and went to "repair" and then chose to restore, the backup system could not find any of my restore points. 

Someone on the SBS forum recommended downloading a tool “MiniTool Power Data Recovery 6.8” which allowed me to see my backup files.  I was given an option to recover the files to another drive which I did.  Now I have a group of files about 2GB each under WindowsImageBackup directory labeled like:

Windows backup doesn't seem to recognize these files when I attempt to get the restore application to find them.  It was recommended that I rename one of the files “Backup.vsd” and place it on a standard NTFS or FAT partition in a subdirectory “<drive>:\WindowsImageBackup\<server name>\” which I did however Windows 2008 backup does not see the file.

I'm sure that each of these files is a backup file due to the date and time stamp as well as the size of the file however Microsoft is being very mysterious as to the file structure of the drive. Disk Manager states that it is a NTFS partition however you have to mount it to view it.  When I mount the drive, I see no files however the space is missing so I know the files are there. Is there a tool that would “undelete” the files on a backup partition?
