Hi,
Iam using Windows Server 2012 Standard,
How to create backup schedule for multiple hard disk. 1. I have scheduled a multiple backup for disk1, disk2 but the backup fails.
How to create different backup schedule for single Hard disk.
Please help
I am trying to recover from a catastrophic SBS 2008 disk failure.
This machine was a stand-alone Domain Controller, and as luck would (NOT!) have it, both disks in a RAID1 configuration failed in rapid succession. Therefore, all I have is server backups to work with.
I have tried many permutations to get this data restored and the domain functional again, but so far, no dice.
I have successfully restored the system disk data from the most recent backup, but when I go to boot the system, I get a reboot loop. When I tell it not to reboot on error, it gives me:
S c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please shutdown this system and reboot into Directory Services Restore mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
When I reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, the system quickly says that AD is clean, but doesn't take me to a command prompt, it takes me to the login screen. When I try to log in as Domain admin, it says:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request
And I'm stuck. Unless I can somehow find out what the local admin credentials are, I can't get in to the system.
I have removed the disk and put it in a Hard drive enclosure, so I can access the files.
At first, I had some complaints about the disk driver, so I found the correct driver version from Intel to circumvent that problem when doing the restore.
I can boot from the installation disk, but I can't use wbadmin from there in the restore mode.
Right now, I'm trying an earlier backup, but something tells me I might have some real trouble here. This has turned in to quite the mess.
I have also tried reinstalling the OS to a new RAID array, but am loath to try putting the backup on there for fear I will be taken back to square one.
Do I have to start from scratch and recreate the domain and rejoin all the computers to it, or do I have a better alternative?
I have actually restored a SBS 2008 stand-alone DC from backup before, but that was RAID 5, so slightly different. I seem to remember having some driver headaches with that, but I did overcome them by getting into recovery and replacing the driver files on the disk. Tried that here, but still no luck.
HELP!!!!
VSS writers inside virtual machine 'CONTOSO' failed to perform BackupComplete to its shadow copy (VSS snapshot) set: Catastrophic failure (0x8000FFFF). (Virtual machine ID 9851BE14-F276-459D-8D60-DF73B67EB658)
What does it mean? Writers on virtual machine are OK and all backups are successfull. Every day I have one 10172 event for one backup in Hyper-V-VMMS event log.

Hi Everybody,
I have on my hyper-v failover cluster hosts the same error (server 2012 datac).
All my writers are stable and no error.
All updates and hotfixes I have found are installed (I think :P).
When selecting the backup (volume snapshot) in settings of the vm's the backup fails.
Settings of the VM under “management” select “Intergration Services“. Deselect “Backup (volume snapshot)“.
When deselecting the box the backup will run and complete succesfully.
However I still want to fix the issue and want to backup the vm's without the downtime.
The error appears when running Windows server backup (WSB) and the 3rd party arcserve backup software.
Also when going to properties of C:, shadowcopies, settings and pressing on the Details button.
Error box:
Failed to initialize the Details dialog for Volume C:\
Error 0x80042306: The shadow copy provider had an error. Check the System and Application event logs for mote information.
Does somebody have a fix for me?
A while ago I posted another question but that down not work anymore:

Hi
We are looking for a way to safely install all windows & application updates and restore / recover the servers in case of any failure with these updates. As we know, with client OS we have the recovery points, with HV we have the snapshots etc. We found a useful KB article (http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/how-to-restore-a-system-image-in-windows-server-2012/), but not sure about Windows backup solution and it's not practical to backup all production servers before applying the patches.
Please let us know is there any tool or workaround for this
Thanks in advance

Some backups complete successfully, others finish with warnings. Double-clicking the job in Windows Backup on successful jobs opens the logs. Doing the same on SOME jobs that failed display the following error: FX: {811FD892-5EB4-4E73-A147-F1E079E36C4E} Object reference not set to an instance of an object. System.NullReferenceException. We have ran SFC /Scannow, but the error continues. What is Microsoft's response to this?

Fellows,
I have a server running 3 VM's with Hyper-V, the VM's are always up and running.
I installed an external HD and I'm backing up to it all the data: System Data, C:(OS) and D:(VM disks).
The backup is been running fine for the last couple months, without failure, and I can see ALL the data that is getting backed up, as VSS copy backup.
My question is this, if ONE day I need to recover a specific file (lets say a file from the File Server VM, that was accidentally deleted), or something else more catastrophic happens, CAN I count on these backups for data retrieval? Or because the VM's are running they are not getting backed up?
I am running server 2012r2 standard with Hyper-V installed and im backing up three VMs (2 windows, 1 CentOS)
The backups run with no issue using the standard default options (full backup etc.). After the backup completes the CentOS VM for some reason remounts the filesystem Read Only. When i reboot the VM it comes back up with no issue. I have confirmed that it must be something with windows server backup since the logs on the vm rergarding the remounting of the filesystem coordinate with the backup schedule. When i take this vm out of the backup pool i have no issue. I cant find a whole lot about this online. Can anyone shed some light on this? What information would you need from me?
I recently created a disk pool of 2.5gb via 2 sata HDD's and when I try to assign it to Server Backup duties the process fails. The message I get is that the server backup services are not running so try starting them manualy via services.msc. The services concerned are:Addininfrastructure.svc, Clientfilebackupprovider.svc, Identity.svc and Serverbackup.svc.
However after starting the services (all were set to Auto) via services.msc the problem still remains. The pool is visible via Storage/Hard disks on the dashboard.Has anybody had/solved this problem before?
TIA, Colin
Hi ...
I'm A DBA, the Microsoft provide support for Shared VHDX in 2012. As you know we can run Windows Failover cluster on shared VHDX. Some backup software is taking backup of these VMs under some limitation like cannot use snapshots.
One of these limitation is using VAEEM. they backup VMs in crash-consistent state which mean simply an image can be compared to the state of a VM that has been manually reset. Unlike offline backup, I don't know if this is O.k with Microsoft SQL server backup
I would like to hear from Microsoft as shared VHDX is a MS technology.Server 2008 R2 SP1 using Windows Server Backup connected to NAS via iSCSI. Scheduled nightly backups have been working correctly for over a year.
A running backup has been stuck for 12+hours with the message "Removing deleted items..." There is plenty of storage available on the NAS.
Attempting to cancel the job via GUI brings up another window "Please wait..." with a progress bar continually looping from 0 to 100%. Running cmd as Administrator using wbadmin stop job, prompts Yes or No , answering Y doesn't responds with a blank line. I can't reboot the server until the weekend, are there processes or other services I can try to stop?

After several weeks of trying, the backup (wbadmin) doesn't work from the task scheduler. When I enter the WBADMIN Start Backup command directly into a command prompt, it executes perfectly and backs up everything it's supposed to, but for some reason, when that EXACT SAME COMMAND is executed from the task scheduler it starts, then immediately stops. I opened the Task Scheduler, clicked on "Task Scheduler Library" in the left pane, and looked at the backup job in the top window of the center pane. The "Last Run Result" column simply showed, "(0xFFFFFFFF")". I also clicked on the job's History Tab, which showed 7 entries at the date/time the job is set to trigger, which indicated that the task started and completed, "successfully" within the same second (i.e. 01:00:00), but absolutiely nothing is backed up, nor are there any entries for the trigger date on the backup drive.
This has happened four Sundays in a row, and each time, when I subsequently execute the WBADMIN command from a command prompt, it works correctly. Any ideas about what I'm missing and/or doing incorrectly

Hello all,
We have a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM running on a Xenserver and it is our main Domain Controller. I just added the Windows Server Backup feature and attached a new Virtual Drive and assigned the letter B: to store the backups. After I went through the Wizard to create a schedule (I chose to do a full bare metal backup), I got the message:
This disk will no longer be visible in Windows Explorer—to prevent data from accidentally being stored on the drive and then overwritten, and to prevent accidental loss of backups.
Up to there it is all fine, but how do I make this drive visible so I can copy the backups to another computer and an off-site location. I tried to browser to the drive path like b:\Windowsserverbackup\<server name> and it did not work. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
From Microsoft Technet
We are running Exchange 2010 on a 2008R2 server.
The servers System Reserved partition is listed as only having 6% available space.
We assigned a drive letter and looked around the drive and see nothing that can be deleted.
This lack of space is causing the vss writers to fail according to Veeam our backup provider.
Is there a "safe" way to expand this 100MB volume so I can renable my application aware backups again?
Hi Guys,
Do we have GPO Settings for restricting users for creating files and folders on the desktop. If so Could you please share the details.
Thanks.

Hi Team,
I just installed two brand-new servers with the brand-new OS Windows Server 2012 R2. I didn't install any other 3rd party applications. I also didn't change any system settings. I just followed the Microsoft recommendation and installed OS. Then I enabled the Window Server Backup feature. But somehow the backup failed with the error messages in the below screenshots.

hi,
We have an issue with our Windows Server backup on our main server. It fails every evening and it shows the drives (5 drives for each day Mon-Fri) to be offline even though we can access the data and restore files/folder. We have tested another backup software with one of our drives and it ran successfully. The event log shows error event ID 561 and 546 "...the backup failed as no target could be found...", Windows/Backup/Operational, Event ID 19 & 49.
Any ideas what's causing this? As I said we ran successful backup using one of the drives and another software so I don't think its a hardware problem.
Please note we have tried many solutions found on the internet - with no luck.
Thanks in advance

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.

Hi,
We have updated our servers using the MaxShadowCopies DWORD to take up to 512 snapshots.
The question I have is it appears the Restore GUI only supports 64 snapshots. The unfortunate part about this is it counts backwards showing the oldest first.
Is there a way to change it so that the GUI can list all snapshots not just the 64? If not is there a way to make it list the most recent vs the oldest?
Cheers,
Zac
