Hi All
I am getting a funny error with Windows backup (wbadmin.exe). The setup
Windows server 2012 DC with 4 share drives and running deduplication.
backup destination : another share on another server
I am backing up to a share on another server which has the free edition of "Windows 2012 hyper-v server edition" installed. When I created the task it ran fine. But after I started to fiddle with Windows backup Azure I got these errors (Not
saying that its related because I uninstalled the azure client and errors are still here).
Configuration:
I have a task to create a full backup of system state and the 4 shares. Since Windows backup will overwrite the previous backup I created a batch job to rename the folder:
\\ hypervrepl1\backup\WindowsImageBackup
to
\\ hypervrepl1\backup\15-11-2013
Batch job also deletes folders that are over 5 days old.
What I backup:
folder 1 resides on a dedup drive. Size of drive is 139 GB 189.639 files. Space used without dedup on files 120GB
Folder 2,3,4 resides on a dedup drive. Size of drive 60GB 138.871 files. Space used without dedup on files 50 GB
System state backup size around 13 GB
When I copy the missing folders/files to the backup directory manually I end up with a backup size 230 GB.
Backup Server:
Back share : 1.8Tb No deduplication
So why do the last 19290 files from folder 1 fail? I the log file I get:
Error in backup of F:\Customers\XX.xlsx during write: Error [0x80070070] There is not enough space on the disk.
It seems I have solved the issue. It looks like its in the Windows backup template the issue resides because when I use:
%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe start backup -backupTarget:\\hypervrepl1\backup -include:D:,E: -allCritical -quiet
It Works. But if I use the Gui and a template is created it doesnt Work. So beware of the Gui!
