Server 2012 backup fails while preparing one of the local volumes with "the mounted backup volume is inaccessible"
This is a new installation and configuring the backup for the first time. We have two local volumes C and E and a Hyper-V guest located on E. We are trying to backup everything every night and by default windows offers to backup it all including system state, hyperv, and the volumes.
After configuring the backup completes on System state and C: just fine and then moves to E:. Before it even displays a total drive size it calls an error and fails the backup with 'The mounted backup volume is inaccessible." The error in event log is 0x807800C5 which in all my searches of forums seems to be related to others doing backups to network drives. I'm using the dedicated local drive option and have added the drives as valid backup destinations.
Upon further looking if I examine C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup_error-xxxxx.log I find the following:
Backup of volume E: has failed. The mounted backup volume is inaccessible. Please retry the operation.

E: has roughly 5.4TB free space and is using approximately 0.5TB total. My backup drives are empty 3TB drives.
I had Shadow Copy enabled for drive E so I tried changing the size limits to No Limit and when that didn't help I disabled Shadow Copy entirely on E:.
I'm at a loss of where to go next. It's difficult for me to make many changes because I have 6 backup destinations setup for the server and the infurating problem with needing to have all the destinations plugged in before you can successfully make changes to the backup settings is making it real difficult to try many things. I am remote to this server and had to make some serious changes to get the 6 drives all connected to begin with. (Yes, I read and tried all the command line suggestions which used to work on 2008 R2 just fine and now don't in 2012.)

Windows Image Backup - Recover - "The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup."
I'm testing 2008R2 SP1 Windows Image Backups. Two Servers alpha and omega each have an older backup stored on the other server, in shared folders. In Windows Server Backup - Recovery Wizard - Specify Remote Folder I get to specify the UNC path "to the remote shared folder that contains the backup." Easy, right? I have tried (from \\alpha)
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup (which is the shared folder)
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup\alpha
\\omega\WindowsImagebackup\alpha\Backup 2011-03-22 133034
These all error with
"The specified remote shared folder does not contain any backup. Provide the path to a remote shared folder that contains backups."
Must be corrupted? But, vice-versa, trying from \\omega and looking at \\alpha i get the same error.
Tell me I'm missing something stupid.. Thanks!

Problems with Windows Server 2008 R2 Recovery
I am having a problem recovering an HP ML110 G6 which is being replaced by a dell T20. I was thinking I could just use a VSS backup in the Windoes server recovery during the server 2008R2 install. The ML110 G6 has 4 drives in it. C: E: F: and :G. The new server only has a single RAID 1 Volume. When the recovery begins everything looks great. I just sit back in my chair and let it happen. As a side not I used a USB stick with the mounted image to install server 2008 R2 to the new system. The system only appears to restore the C: drive. Then when I attemp to boot it takes me to the repair startup files prompt. Also will all of my active directory be restored to the new server or am I going to have to make an active directory restore to get everything up and running?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Windows Backup and restore
Operating system WS2012
windows default backup feature has been configured.
Everyday midnight backup will start.
1 month before we can see multiple dates back in back restore.
But from past 1 week we can see previous day backup file only.
I would like to know why the previous back up files are not being seen while earlier i was able to view multiple back up files in the calendar.
Apparently one back up file for the previous day is visible.
Appreciate if you could let me know the cause for this issue

Windows Server 2012r2 built in backup causing issues with virtual machines
Hi Guys
I have a Windows Server that is running Server 2012r2. We have 2 virtual machines running of the host machine. We activated the built in backup program but we noticed that both virtual machines go into a the pause state and will not restart unless we turn off the built in backup program. Has anyone heard of this problem before and how can we solve this and turn our backups back on? Many thanks.

copying back vhdx
Hi i am a relatively new to visualizations:
Just have a quick question with regards to virtual disks. each server has its own vhdx on the host,
every night i take a copy on to a NAS drive: therefore ...if say one of the vhdx has a problem... would it be simply copying back the vhdx file back from the nas drive to restore the virtual server ?
Again apologies, if this comes across rather simplistic...i dont have too much experiance with Hyper V!
Thanks

Is there any way to Schedule Multiple Server Backups
Hello All;
In windows 2008 R2 you can only schedule One Backup for the server...
Then after googling around I found a way to schedule an additional backup using this command:
wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C:,D: -systemState -allCritical -vssFull -quiet
where F: is the External HDD
and then use task scheduler to run the batch file
That did not work on windows 2012 R2
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Backup started a fresh backup for volume '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}' ('Esp') : [Reason: 'Volume size changed']. This may cause loss of older backup versions when backup completes.
Environment overview: Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V - 3 x Gen 2 VM's with 'fixed' hard vhdx files (originally dynamic but I worried that was the issue and converted them). I have D:\ drive with some files to backup as well.
I've tried VSS Full Backup and VSS Copy Backup settings - I've tried the 'Configure Performance Settings...' options of tracking files before a backup.
This error event ID 24 keeps appearing in my backup logs. When the nightly backup task runs it shows only the D:\ drive as being collected incrementally - the rest revert to a full backup.
Is this 'normal'? Are my backups accumulating or do I only have one day worth of backups? A little bit of advise on this one would be useful.
If this is normal behaviour can someone explain why it is happening and perhaps a way to verify that everything is OK? I have a weekly e-mail that shows me the output - it does say it is successful in the end - though that doesn't explain why the C:\ drive is running a full backup.

Event ID 25 the shadow copies on Volume J: were deleted because shadow copy storage could not grow in time.
I saw this error today and was surprised because shadow copies are turned off for this drive.
Windows 2008R2 Domain controller/fileserver
The shadow copies of volume J: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied.

Windows Server Essentials Computer Backup service is not running
How do I correct the following issue below.
A week ago I started receiving this error message. The Windows Server Essentials Computer Backup service is not running. You cannot back up client computers until you start the service.
Suggested Resolution is before you start the service, resolve all alerts that are related to Server Storage. There were no issues with server storage.
To start the service:
In Health Monitoring tab, click Try to repair. If the problem persists, make sure the Client Computer Backups folder exists and can be accessed.
When I start the service this is what happens.
The windows server essentials computer backup service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.

Issue with "Cryptographic Services" and backing up a VM.
Good Afternoon,
I'm having problems with the backup on one of our Hyper-V hosts. We use Veeam B&R to back up all the VM's and I have a problem with one VM in particular which doesn't backup, the VM is 2012r2 Essentials.
The windows backup on the hyper-v host also doesn't work backing up this VM so I know this a Microsoft Windows Issue rather than a Veeam issue I guess but just wondered if anyone has come across this problem?
After troubleshooting all the VSS writer issues and Event ID’s I've narrowed down the problem to one VSS writer inside the problem VM:
‘System Writer’ state: [8] Failed Last Error: Inconsistent Shadow copy. is the error inside the VM every time the host backup runs.
I restart the “Cryptographic Services” which makes the VSS writer stable again but when the back runs on the host it causes a failed state again.
When I run Windows backup inside the VM it backs up fine!
Now if I stop the “Cryptographic Services” service on the VM and run the Hyper-V host backup it completes without issue! so definitely points to this service/VSS writer.
So my problem is the “Cryptographic Services” causing the failed backups. I think the service itself is fine but maybe a corrupt VSS ‘System writer’?
if so what is the best way to fix just this writer? Re-Register the DLL’s? if so does anyone know the correct DLL’s to re-register? I tried the generic DLL's from google related the VSS but makes no odds.
All servers are patched and up to date. I've done several reboots, and SFC has been run inside the VM. also done the usual Chkdsk etc.
the VM is 2012R2 Essentials -No SQL, No Exchange on this VM. all the other VM's backup without issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to Backup server data to remote NAS (offsite)
A sub company is using Windows Server 2003 and have their backup using windows Backup. Is it possible to backup their data to remote NAS through Internet? This task will achieve offsite backup solution. If can, will buy a NAS and place it into other office.
They won't consider Cloud backup or expensive solution at this moment
Please suggests any NAS product or any solution. Many thanks!

2012R2 server System writer missing in the vssadmin list writers
Hi,
I have some problem with a brand new 2012R2 standard server.
we were able to backup the server from the beginning without problems with the built-in windows backup application.
After installing Solarwinds and SQL server on it, now we have this error in the event logs if we try to backup system state:
The operation ended before completion. Detailed error: The system writer is not found in the backup.
If I check the VSSAdmin list writers, system writer is missing.
We also have this error in the event logs :
Cryptographic Services failed while processing the OnIdentity() call in the System Writer Object.
Details:
AddWin32ServiceFiles: EnumServicesStatusEx API for service enumeration failed
System Error:
The data is invalid.
.
I did not find anything on the AddWin32ServiceFiles: EnumServicesStatusEx API... and the problem for the system writer seems to start from this error.
Anyone have an idea ?
thanks
