A fatal error with Windows Server Backup

Hey,
I'm trying to backup my Windows Server 2008 R2 (physical server). Windows Server Backup tool crashes when I start to start it. It gives me error "A fatal error occurred during a Windows Server Backup snap-in (Wbadmin.msc) operation. Error details: The
Windows Server Backup service has stopped. 
Errors I get to event viewer:
ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason:    Unable to obtain disk information for device 14 (Win32 error code 0x1).
ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason:    Unable to obtain disk information for device 10 (Win32 error code 0x1).
ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason:    Unable to obtain disk information for device 3 (Win32 error code 0x1).
ASR Warning: Failed to collect disk information for ASR Backup. Reason:    Unable to obtain disk information for device 1 (Win32 error code 0x1).
The following process dump file was generated:
 C:\Program Files\DebugDiag\Logs\Crash rule for all instances of wbengine.exe\wbengine__PID__9716__Date__07_04_2014__Time_03_08_24PM__911__First chance exception 0XE06D7363.dmp
These devices (disks) that are showing in warnings arent initialized from Disk Management. If I open Disk Management, it always pops up prompt to initialize disks. I havent initialized these disks cause I already have them in use, but Windows regonizes those
disks twice cause I'm using multipath. I shouldnt initialize one physical disk twice.  
I think seeing these disks twice is crashing my Windows Server Backup. Is there a way to disable specific disks for Windows Server Backup? Can I disable those disks somehow, so Windows Server Backup wouldnt see those disks twice? Or can I somehow tell Windows
that its seeing my disks twice, and there is actually only one disk instead of two.
Greetings,

Hi,
How did you configure the disks by using multipath? The ASR component is a system-critical component that is reported by the ASR writer. Every fixed disk on the computer is exposed as a component in ASR. During backup, the requester should include all fixed
disks.

  • Backup Problem with Windows Server Backup

    Hello,
    we have problems with Windows Server Backup Feature.
    Our system is a Windows Server 2008 Standard. On the computer runs a SQL Server 2005.
    Since several days no backup can be carried out. We get the error message:
    - Error during a Volume Shadow Copy service operation. Detailed error: Failed to process the volume shadow copy: "0x800423F0".
    - Errors in the event log: For the started backup an error occured. The volume shadow copy operation  was not successful. Error code: "2155348129". Run the backup again after the problem was fixed.
    We have already tried to restart the services, uninstalled the Windows Server Backup Feature and reinstalled it, also we rebootet the server several times. Unfortunately, so far without success.
    What else can we do respectively where could be the problem?
    Kind regards

    Hi Sven,
    Please check if there a system partition that is created on the server. If so, assign a drive letter on the partition to check the results.

  • Fatal Errors with Windows Integrated Server

    Every once in a while - 3 or 4 times in the last 3 hours I get a fatal error on the server. The last part of the server log looks like this:

    I'll be happy to include the error report file if that is helpful

    I'm sorry I have not been able to determine what caused the errors. In many cases I didn't actually notice it until I went to try to use the console or worklist and found the server was down. I then looked at the log to find the error. There was at least once when I was just navigating the console and it died, but I don't ermember exactly where. Nothing I hadn't done before. I'll try to pay more attention.
    I just restart the server to recover.

  • Error using Window Server Backup on 2012R2 Hyper-V to network share

    Hi
    I have a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server. It runs a Windows 2012 R2 VM (called
    server-1).
    I want to backup the VM to a network location (\\network-1\server-1_backup$). To do this, I installed Windows Server Backup from the command line and configured a backup to look like this:
    C:\Users\admin>wbadmin enable backup

    The scheduled backup settings:

    Advanced settings: VSS Backup Option (FULL)
    Location to store backup: \\network-1\server-1_backup$\
    Times of day to run backup: 04:00
    But when I run this backup manually, I get the following error:

    The odd thing is that if I set this up from a Windows 2012 Server using the GUI to exactly the same network destination, the backup works no problem. It just doesn't work when using Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V configured through a command line.
    Any help appreciated,

    Hi Andrew,
    I tested this in my lab server 2012R2  , but there's no error .
    I would suggest you to create a new share folder on other server then check if the issue persists .

  • Backing up Exchange Server 2013 CU3 with Windows Server Backup Program

    Looking at configuring Windows Server Backup Program to backup Exchange Server 2013 CU3 which is a member a DAG Group using a specific Backup Domain Account.  
    From my understanding from the following technet Article" Using Windows Server Backup to Backup and Restore Exchange Data" at  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876851(v=exchg.150).aspx I cannot use wbadmin.exe has it uses an older
    unsupported version of Powershell.
    My question is what are the minimum AD rights required for an AD account needed to be able to backup/restore Exchange Datastore using Windows Server Backup Program in Windows Server 2012?
    Thanks,
    NIck 

    Hi Sathish,
    After looking at your response, it all make sense except when I look at what exchange right assigned via RBAC.  I understand that the backup service account will require access to the exchange databases
    to be able to backing and restoring them.  After looking at the different roles  
    I'm wondering if I require to assign both the Databases roles for Backing up the databases and the Disaster Recovery Role as well to be able to restore the databases has well as having a mailbox on the exchange
    server for the backup service account?
    Below is explanation of the roles via the ECP
    Database Role
    This role enables administrators to create, manage, mount and dismount mailbox and public folder databases on individual servers.
    Disaster Recovery
    This role enables administrators to restore mailboxes and database availability groups in an organization.
    Thanks,
    Nick

  • Problem: VSS error with 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' installed

    When 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' is installed, shadow copies cannot be enable and backups fail.  When attempting to enable shadow copies, we get a "volsnap" error:  "The shadow copies of volume X were aborted because
    of a failed free space computation".  After uninstalling the "Tool", VSS works.  Reinstalling "Tool" causes the problem to return.
    While the error suggests a space issue, there is plenty of space on the server's two volumes.  Additionally, another 100GB volume was added and VSS storage was allocated to it; still received the error.
    Issue seems to point to 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool'.
    Environment:  Hyper-V guest:  "Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard" with "SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard".  Using "Azure Storage" for SQL backups.
    Suggestions?

    Hello,
    Yes, we have a confirmed interference between the tool and the VSS Framework. This was identified very recently and is under investigation by the product group. Since the issue is within the filter driver shipped by the tool, that unfortunately means that
    you currently need to choose between the tool and a working VSS Framework. If the latter is more important, then uninstall the tool (that will require a restart).
    We apolologize for the inconvenience. I'm going to try to get the home page of the tool updated to avoid other situations like yours. Hopefully we should see a new version of the tool soon.
    As a side note, recent versions of SQL Server can directly use Azure Storage as backup target, see
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.110).aspx.

  • Windows Server Backup - 0x80042407, seriously?

    I installed server 2008 on a test server with 4x250GB drives in a RAID5 array.
    Windows was installed on a 60GB partition, the rest of the array was left as free space.
    After installing updates and drivers, I decided that I wanted a RAID10 array. 
    This would give me a chance to test the restore functionality of Windows Server Backup.
    I did a full backup with Windows Server Backup to a network location.
    After reconfiguring the RAID array I started the recovery process.
    Here is the issue.  right when the restore should start, I get an error....
    The Windows Complete PC Restore operation failed.
    Error details: The disk that is set as active in BIOS is too small to recover the original system disk.  Replace the disk with a larger one and retry the restore operation. (0x80042407)
    I've tried creating partitions of all sizes and leaving the disk blank, same error.
    I even set the disk as the first boot device in BIOS.
    I've read elsewhere that the disk must be the same size or larger.  That just seems like a bad April fools joke to me.
    Can anyone give me some insight on this issue?

    Hello Jason,
    Thank you for your reply.
    For your further concern, this same or bigger disk size requirement is by design for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. As a suggestion, we recommend you use a bigger disk for Bare Metal Restore.
    Currently we cannot edit the backup size. However, to fulfill your demand, there is a possible given workaround to restore the backup to smaller disk size.
    Workaround: To recover the System manually using Volume recovery
    By using this workaround, at minimum the OS critical partitions should be of the same size for the volume recovery.
    To recovery the System manually from Windows Recovery Environment (when BMR – Complete PC Restore is not working), user has to recover all the partitions individually and then set the BCD boot entries.
    Please follow the below mentioned steps:
    1)    Get the backup version from the backup target.
    2)    From version, get the size of partitions at the time of backup.
    3)    Recreate the partitions manually with same or more size.
    4)    Perform volume recovery of Individual volumes.
    5)    Set the Active bit for System volume.
    6)    Fix the Boot entries.
    Please replace anything marked under <> with actual values. The yellow marked entries are for sample only. We have to pick the actual values from his system. Also assuming the Boot disk is disk 0 in this case.
    Open Command prompt:
    1)    Do wbadmin get versions –backuptarget:<X:>.
    a.    Select the version id from. E.g. Version identifier: 02/11/2009-09:14
    Note: If the backup target is network share, then run “start /w wpeinit” to enable networking.
    2)    Do wbadmin get items –version:<versioned> -backuptarget:<X:>
    a.    This will give the list of volumes that were backed up and their sizes.
    3)    Using Diskpart, recreate your volumes of the same or more size. Assume that the Boot disk is Disk 0 and is empty. Disk 0 is the boot disk and is the first disk in BIOS boot order.
    If the required partitions are already present then skip the steps below.
    a.    Diskpart.exe
    b.    List disk
    c.    Select disk 0.
    d.    Create par primary  size=<size>        
    e.    Format fs=ntfs quick label=”OS”               (Format the OS partition with NTFS)
    f.     Assign letter=D                 (assign drive letter D: to OS volume)
    g.    Do the same for all the volumes you want to recover.
    h.    Detail disk
    i.      It lists the newly created partitions.
    4)    To recover the volumes one by one,
    a.    Do wbadmin get items –version:<versionid> -backuptarget:<X:> .
    b.    Select the volume id or drive letter for OS volume that was backed up.
    E.g. C: corresponds to the OS volume at backup time.
    c.    Wbadmin start recovery –version:<versionid> -backuptarget:<x:> -itemType:Volume –items:C:  -recoverytarget:D:
    d.    Do the same for all the other volumes. Make sure that minimum space requirement is met.
    e.    Set the active bit of System volume from Diskpart.
    f.     Diskpart.exe ->
                                              i.    Select volume D:
                                             ii.    active
    5)    Reboot the OS and boot back into WinRE as OS is not yet bootable.
    6)    Select Startup-Repair option to fix the BCD boot entries.
    7)    Reboot and OS should be in a bootable state.
    8)    If OS is still not bootable, use bcdedit.exe/bootrec.exe in WinRE to fix the BCD boot options.
    I understand that it will be reasonable to edit the backup so that the bare metal restore process can accept the smaller disk size, our product team are aware of this desired functionality and will definitely keep this in mind as future product development continues.
    Thanks for your understandings.

  • Using multiple drives with Windows 7 Backup

    I have a customer with a new PC running Windows 7 Pro. He has 3 Seagate 1TB USB drives that he swaps out nightly for backups. Currently, backups are being done using the built-in Windows 7 Backup.
    His previous PC ran XP and used the program which is pre-loaded onto Seagate drives to install onto PCs. He used this with the 3 drives and had no problems.
    However, this software on the drives would not install on his Windows 7 PC because I presume it to not be compatible, even in compatibility mode.
    The problem now is that each time he swaps in a different drive, the backups fail because it's a different drive and the backup software can't seem to handle multiple drives. With Windows Server Backup, you can add multiple drives so that when you swap them,
    backups still run. I can't seem to do that with Windows 7 Backup.
    Does anyone know how to get multiple drives to work with the built-in Windows 7 Backup?
    Jonathan

    In addition to the above persons' solution, you can choose a third software  instead of the built-in Windows 7 Backup tool, the backup software can make up for the deficiency of  the backup tool of Windows. You can search in Google, and
    will find many kinds of software, Genie backup and AOMEI Backupper: http://www.backup-utility.com/ can be ok. Hope the freeware can give you suggestion.
    AOMEI turned out to be the answer. It works well with multiple drives and provides an easy way the user can see if the backup succeeded or not. Thanks!

  • Server 2008 R2 Windows Server Backup. "Error in backup of Hyper-V.vhd during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.

    Hello,
    We are currently using Windows Server Backup to backup three Hyper-V guests running on a Windows 2008 R2 host.  Two guests are running Server 2008 R2 and one is running Windows 7.  I have the backups going to a dedicated external disk drive.
    WSB backs up the two 2008 R2 Hyper-V guests just fine.  However, when attempting to backup the Windows 7 Hyper-V guest, I receive the following error:
    Error in backup of <Windows 7.vhd> during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.
    I ran a "vssadmin list writers" and all the VSS writers showed "Stable" with no errors.  I have plenty of space on the external drive as well.  I've read this article:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455?wa=wsignin1.0#workaroundissue12 except that doesn't seem to be what I'm experiencing here.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,
    As the other 2 guests could be backed up correctly, the issue should not be the Windows Server Backup feature.
    First please refer to this article:
    Backing Up and Restoring Virtual Machines
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405549(v=vs.85).aspx
    Please check if all following requirements are met. Specifically please check if Integration Service is installed. 
    Backup (volume snapshot) Integration Service is installed and running in the child VM. The service name is "Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor".
    Windows 2000:  Backup Integration Service is not supported.
    The child VM must be in the running state.
    The Snapshot File Location for the VM is set to be the same volume in the host operating system as the VHD files for the VM.
    All volumes in the child VM are basic disks and there are no dynamic disks.
    All disks in the child VM must use a file system that supports snapshots (for example, NTFS).

  • [Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

    Symptom One
    You attempt to
    schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
    The system cannot find the path specified.”
    Cause
    The issue may occur if there is
    no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
    Verify
    You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
    that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
    Solution
    You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
    vssadmin resize
    shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]

    Symptom Two
    When you add
    another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
    Cause
    The issue is due to the
    Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
    Verify
    You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
    Solution
    You need to attach
    Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
    Workaround
    To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
    WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
    The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
    Example:
    WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
    -addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

  • Restore bkf Backup Files on Tape with Windows Server 2008 R2

    We have to migrate an application from a legacy server (OS Windows Server 2003) to a new server (OS Windows Server 2008 R2).
    Due to legal obligations we have to keep backups for 10 years. Until now NTBACKUP was used to store the data on tape.
    We must be able to restore data from tapes of the last 10 years for audit purposes.  
    We installed Update für Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB974674) containing NTBackup-RestoreUtility on the new server.
    It seems that this tool is not able to restore from tapes.
    How can we fullfil the legal requirements to restore backuped data from tape on Windows Server 8 R2 (and in future with Windows Server 2012 R2)?

  • Windows Server Backup - wbengine.exe Crashing

    Hi,
    When running either a scheduled back or a once off backup, I receive the following error around 30 seconds into the backup:
    "The Windows Server Backup service has stopped"
    "A fatal error occurred during a Windows Server Backup snap-in (Wbadmin.msc) operation. Error details: The Windows server Backup service has stopped"
    In event viewer the following two events were logged:
    Faulting application name: wbengine.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce79951
    Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18247, time stamp: 0x521eaf24

    Report Id: e99a55c8-15e4-11e4-9ab5-a01d48c77640
    The Block Level Backup Engine Service service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
    I have tired restarting the Block Level Backup Engine Service service, deleting the backup catalogue, removing and re adding Window Server Backup feature. None of these fixed the problem.
    I used Debug Diagnostic Tool v2.0 and capturing all instances of wbengine.exe process:

  • Mount vhdx file from Windows Server Backup 2012

    We have a 2012 server with a network share that other servers backup to using Windows Server Backup.  To view the files from a windows 2008 r2 backup .vhd file all I have to do is open it in windows explorer and it mounts as a drive and opens.  When
    I try to do the same with a 2012 backup (.vhdx) it tells me "you don't have permission to mount the file" but if I open disk management I can see the volume, and if I right click on it and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths" and add
    a drive letter, then I can browse it.  I get the same issue using mount-vhd in powershell.

    Hi Adm1nMikeW,
    Please try to use disk management --> action --> attach VHD (this way will  avoid  the error message).
    The root cause is the attribute "nodefaultdriveletter" of the backup vhd was not set to "no".
    You can try following setps :
    1. in cmd prompt type diskpart
    2. recognize the problematic volume you want to set via list volume
    3. run command select volume "volume number"
    4. run command attributes volume clear nodefaultdriveletter
    then detach it and reattach the disk again .
    Hope this helps
    Best Regards

  • Backed up files partially disappear after restore (Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Server Backup)

    Dear all,
    I am experiencing a problem with "Windows Server 2008 R2", using Windows Server Backup.
    Here's my setup:
    Server: RAID 5 Disk setup
    Backup:
    By using Windows Server Backup (within Windows Server 2008 R2), C: and D: were fully backed up, with "System State" and "Baremetal Recovery" options selected. Backup went okay without any errors.
    Restore:
    By using Windows Recovery Environment  (booted from Windows Server DVD), C: and D: were fully restored to the original partitions with "System Recovery" option found within Windows RE (without re-formatting partitions during restore). Restore
    went OK without any errors. Rebooted, and system has been running fine. 
    Problem:
    After the restore, the system itself seems running OK; no BSOD, no crash, no visible errors.
    However, our client insisted some files (around 6 to 7) which are related to the propriety software has "disappeared" right after System Recovery.
    Question:
    Since Windows Server Backup is using "Volume Shadow Copy" technology which enables "live backup" of the running system, is it possible that some files will disappear (=restore error) after
    System Recovery?
    I cannot really find any errors or warnings related to Windows Server Backup in the event log, through. No Windows-backup errors. No VSS errors, too.
    Do anybody have experienced this kind of problem in the past?  Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply, Ms. Mandy.
    To make things clear, let me explain to you briefly:
    1. The "missing data" was backed up with "full system backup".
    2. After a system restore from the above backup image, as you mentioned, partitions has been overwritten with the partions' backup data in the Backup Data Set taken by Windows Server Backup. No error with backup. No error after restore, and reboot - system
    has been running fine.
    3. Although there was a report that the affected files(about 7 java exectables) were missing after the above restore operation, other aspect of system was running fine at the time of the report.
    4. I have checked the original backup data set - and voila, there ARE files which seems to gone after restore.
    5. When I used Windows Server Backup "on" Windows Server 2008 R2 normal environment (= NOT Recovery environment from DVD) and selectd ONLY these affected files to restore, these files could be RESTORED successfully, without any errors. SO... data
    was property backed up.
    > The recovery will overwrite the partitions so files created after the backup point will be missing. 
    I understand, and this is not the case this time, because the affected files are already present in the backup data set (= I have mounted the backup data as VHD, and I could clearly see them present in the mounted VHD file)
    Plus, these files are completely restoreable via "selective file restore" in Windows Server Backup.
    Things I want to know/confirm:
    > The recovery will overwrite the partitions
    If I understand this correctly, in case that the files in question are already present in the backup data set, these files SHOULD be restored after full system restore, right? (If these files could not be restored, Windows Server Backup SHOULD show some errors.)
    What do you think, Ms. Mandy? :)
