Scripting for Windows Server Backup for Exchange 2010

Hi,
I'm new to writing scripts and was wondering if anyone could assist with writing a script to backup an Exchange Server in a windows 2008 r2 environment.  I currently use Windows Server Backup with a full VSS backup to run exchange backups, however,
each backup overwrites the previous one, and i would really like to have multiple backups.  I would also like  to specify backup log locations, and have emails sent upon successful backups or failed backups.  I am trying to write this powershell
but cant seem to get things to work.
Thanks

You can use PowerShell in conjunction with the Windows Backup command line utility, wbadmin.exe. The code below should help get you started. I have included the date in order to help maintain multiple back ups, but if you do more than one back up per day,
you will need to change the date format to include the time. You cannot control the built in logging of Windows Backup, but you could collect your own backup information and write that out to a text file. As far as sending emails, look into the Send-MailMessage
cmdlet including the -Attachment parameter that could send your log file with your mail message. Cheers.
$Date = Get-Date -Format 'MM-dd-yyyy'
$Path = "\\server\share\$Date"
New-Item -Path $Path -ItemType Directory | Out-Null
Start-Process wbadmin.exe -ArgumentList "start backup -backupTarget:$Path -allCritical -vssFull -quiet"

  • Windows Server Backup for VM with Exchange

    We have Server 2012 standard and its running Hyper- V. The VM that is running is Server 2008 R2 Standard which is also our Exchange 2010 Server.
    I know you can use Server backup 2012 to easily backup Hyper-V machine. But will it be so easy if that VM is running Exchange on it? I am going to back it up to an external drive. 
    This article shows how to backup a HV machine but I can't really find anything on a HV machine with exchange.

  • 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.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

  • Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
    I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
    For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
    For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
    The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
    The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
    If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
    Are there any notes for using both ?
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata 

    Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
    Thanks for posting here!
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
    Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.
    I will check on this and get back to you at the earliest.
    Thanks!

  • Exchange 2010 and Windows server backup hanging

    I have a new install of Exchange 2010 running on Server 2K8 standard that I am trying to backup using the Windows server backup. For some reason it just sits at Running Consistency Check for Application Exchange.
    I've had it sitting there for about 12 hours with no backup activity taking place. 
    Has anyone seen this or have any idea whats going on?

    Additionally, if you check task manager and see ESEUTIL.EXE running (and taking processor usage) while Backup says "Running consistency check for application Exchange" then it apparently is actually still running.  It would be REALLY nice if
    there was a progress indicator on this step!!!
    A progress indicator would be nice, especially since new log files continue to get generated as the check goes on.
    Here's how I checked my progress:
    Open Resource Monitor (resmon.exe)
    Go to the "Disk" tab
    expand the "Disk Activity" section
    sort by the File column (and expand the column a bit)
    you'll see eseutil.exe hitting files looking like \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\E0200005A83.log, E0200005A84.log, E0200005A85.log, etc...
    Use calculator to convert those rightmost digits from hex to decimal
    Go into the folder with the log files (ex:\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\) and find the most recent log file's hex digits and convert that to decimal
    We had another team at my company build an Exchange 2010 server this past summer and I just found out that it hadn't been backed up
    ever so we're up to 644,000 log files and the server is only moving at 1,312 log files per hour during the consistency check so this could be a 21 day process before the backup even begins.

  • Windows Server backup Exchange 2010

    Anybody has an idea how to perform a backup of a  single database of Exchange 2010 using windows server backup. I don't really want to backup the whole server.

    Please look at this informative resource that clarifies your concern in depth :
    Backing Up Exchange 2010 using Windows Server Backup

  • 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

    Script does everything perfect except for the backup not being incremental/differential - it just creates a different folder each iteration that it puts the backup into.
    I would appreciate if someone could go through and let me know what we might be doing wrong - why we are not able to get this job to be incremental/differential.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hre are all of the options for Windows Backup:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706670.aspx
    If you can find an incremental backup naywhere in the options then I will admit I have missed something.
    The old Windows Backup, pre-2008, could do incremental backups.  The newer backup system is minimal and serves different purposes.
    The question about how to use a subsystem of Windows is NOT a scripting question.  It is a "how-to" for a Windows component.
    If you do not understand the scrip tyou posted then I recommend finding someone with sufficient understanding of Windows and the new backup Cmdlets to help you top understand how they work.
    Here is the Microsoft description of Windows Server Backup:
    Windows Server Backup consists of a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, command-line tools, and Windows PowerShell cmdlets that provide a complete solution for your day-to-day backup and recovery needs. You can use Windows Server Backup to back
    up a full server (all volumes), selected volumes, the system state, or specific files or folders—and to create a backup that you can use for bare metal recovery. You can recover volumes, folders, files, certain applications, and the system state. And, in case
    of disasters like hard disk failures, you can perform a bare metal recovery. (To do this, you will need a backup of the full server or just the volumes that contain operating system files, and the Windows Recovery Environment—this will restore your complete
    system onto your old system or a new hard disk.)
    You can use Windows Server Backup to create and manage backups for the local computer or a remote computer. And, you can schedule backups to run automatically.
    Windows Server Backup is intended for use by everyone who needs a basic backup solution—from small business to large enterprises—but is even suited for smaller organizations or individuals who are not IT professionals.
    It specifically states that only a full server or selected file,device backup is possible.  There is no statement of incremental backup.  Windows Server backup is intended for server recovery.
    If you type "help Set-WBVssBackupOptions
    -full" you will see that there are only two options "full" and "copy".
    Please post your issues in the WS2008 or the WS2012 forum to get more information on how the Windows Server backup service works.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Windows server backup Exchange 2013

    Hello 
    I am running Exchange 2013 sp1 on windows 2008 R2 in a two node DAG. I am using windows server backup to backup the databases.  Windows server backup is creating a .vhd file for ever volume that i selected to backup. Is this correct?
    Bulls on Parade

    Hello,
    Based on my known, it is normal.
    When we use windows server backup to back up database or other files, it uses the vhd file format and support backing up to proper location.

  • What is posted availability specification for Windows server 2012? 2012R2?

    I am trying to put together a high availability solution and I want to know what the availability 'claim' of the individual components would be. What is the availability specification for Windows server 2012 and Windows Server 2012R2?(for example 99.9%
    availability for the O/S itself). This would be in a non clustered or Load Balanced state. Just a single server running the O/S.

    Hi,
    SLA requirements determine how components such as storage, clustering, and backup and recovery factor into your organization.The term high availability is meaningless until you define how to measure it. IT shops measure high availability as the percentage of
    time that systems are available, but the provider and consumer of high-availability services must agree on what constitutes availability and how the time is measured.

  • Physical Path in File Adapter for Windows Server

    Hi There,
    I am trying to read a file from a directory on a windows server and write it to the same server in a different directory.
    In the file adapter I gave the value for physical path as below:
    "\\10.xx.34.xxx\Share\input".
    However I am getting below message in the debug:
    "Value specified for input Physical/Logical Directory is not a directory or is not readable."
    Hence my question is what should be the value in the physical path for windows server.
    Thanks in Advance

    Thanks for your reply again.
    Actually they are not on the same file system.
    I have successfully used FTP Adapter to connect to a UNIX server.
    However is it possible to use FTP Adapter for Windows Server. If so how should be the corresponding JNDI defined.
    I am getting below error when I use FTP Adapter for Windows Server:
    Unable to send file to server. [Caused by: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.]
    ; nested exception is:
         ORABPEL-11429
    Error sending file to FTP Server.
    Unable to send file to server. [Caused by: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation.]
    Please ensure 1. Specified remote output Dir has write permission 2. Output filename has not exceeded the max chararters allowed by the OS and 3. Remote File System has enough space.
    Please Advise.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 x64 to Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
    I am a little confused because I have Windows Server 2008 64 bit operating system and had installed Oracle 11g 11.1.0.6.0 (x64) prior to the Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008 install package becoming available.
    My database needs no backup of data as it is a fresh installation so its removal is not a problem.
    To now upgrade to Oracle 11g 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008 do I need to
    a) Uninstall Oracle 11.1.0.6.0 (x64) and then install Oracle 11.1.0.7.0 on Windows Server 2008
    or
    b) Apply patch 6890831 (will this upgrade from 11.1.0.6.0 x64 to 11.1.0.7.0 for Windows Server 2008?)
    Any help much appreciated as having looked at documentation I am still confused what I need to do.
    Thanks.

    Before Netsh cmd support for all os including Win 8,win 8.1.
    I need to config form client machine to server machine using netsh cmd lines,i will try in remote login also like i will give server name,username and password with netsh cmd.Below is sample cmd line,using process i will change ip config.
    netsh -r Admin-pc -u admin-pc\administrator -p XXXXX interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" Static 192.168.0.60 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
    when i run in windows server using cmd prompt it show error like "some commands line not found in specified file"
    This is my code in asp.net using vb
     Dim pip As New Process()
            Dim pipa As New ProcessStartInfo("netsh -r Admin-pc -u admin-pc\administrator -p XXXXX interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" Static 192.168.0.60 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1")
