Backup Fails after several successful days - errors "Device is not ready" & "The System cannot find the path specified"

Well I am back again, with another backup issue. After fixing one issue with the backup failing after a reboot, I have encountered another which is starting to cause me a lot of headaches.
The setup is thus - the backups run on a host machine running Windows Server 2012, this hosts three VM's (1x Server 2012 and 2x2008 Since the 19th of December a single backup drive has been attached for the backups (not ideal but the company had closed for
the holidays) up until the 26th these backups were working flawlessly.
On the 26th the backup completed with warnings, transferring a good 90% of the data to the backup (2/3 VMs). On the 27th it transferred a bit more at around 95% (2/3 VMs). On the 28th, it didn't completely backup a single VM.
On the 28th this error appeared in the event logs and after checking in the snap-in the same errors appear on the warning days as the errored day.
The backup operation that started at '‎2014‎-‎12‎-‎28T20:30:09.774946400Z' has failed with following error code '0x80780049' (None of the items included in backup were backed up.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup
operation once the issue is resolved.
Thanks in advance/

Hi,

[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>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
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}

Windows 7 Backup "The System cannot find the path specified" - Error Code 0x80070003

I'm having severe problems backing up my own machine to a share on our
FILE-SERVER as \\FILE-SERVER\Backup\
I have already backed up another PC successfully using exactly the same settings I have used on my own PC. So I presume it is nothing to do with the
FILE-SERVER or the Backup settings. It has to be something to do with what I'm trying to backup from my machine.
First some background.
This exercise all began when the Windows Server 2008 r2
O/S fell over on one of our Servers. I tried reinstalling the O/S several times, without success. In the end I grabbed another drive and re-built the O/S. I then had problems promoting it to a Domain Controller on the network.
In the end I renamed the Server from FILESERVER
to FILE-SERVER.
We routinely share four folders on what is now
FILE-SERVER:
\\FILE-SERVER\Backup
- a Folder where backups from all other machines are written, so that they will be backed up with the Server
\\FILE-SERVER\Company
- holds all our Company data
\\FILE-SERVER\GEM
- this is the application folder for our own database
\\FILE-SERVER\Install
- holds all Install files for the software we use
These are all held on a RAID 1 Array that is separate from the System Disk that fell over.
Prior to the Server falling over, I had Backup working fine on my machine.
On my Notebook PC I had made these shared folders 'Available Offline', so that I still had everything available to me when I was out of the office. They were
of course shared as \\FILESERVER\... not \\FILE-SERVER\...
Having got the Server up and going again, I began to get the Backups from the Windows 7 Client PC's going again.
I started with a Desktop, which of course did not have any Offline Files.
That proved relatively straight-forward.
I then started with my machine. Initially I did not make the above shared folders 'Available Offline'. I set up my Backup using exactly the same settings that
had worked OK on the desktop machine. But when I ran the backup I got:
The System cannot find the path specified, Error Code 0x80070003
I tried all sorts of things to get it to work:
I restored the system to the earliest point possible,
I ran chkdsk,
I defragged the drive
All to no avail, so I tried backing up:
with and without a system image,
reducing the backup to a single folder,
a single Folder with only one .txt file in it,
making the Folders 'Available Offline' again.
Nothing made any difference.
In the end I looked in the Sync Center to look at the Offline Files Folder.
Under Mapped Network Drives I discovered I still had the Files and Folders from
\\FILESERVER. In their Shortcut Menu 'Always Available Offline' was greyed out. So I deleted the Offline Copies. This deleted the Files in the Folders but not the Folders.
Since I could find no way of deleting the old Mapped Network Drives, I decided I'd painted myself into a corner by renaming the Server.
So I bit the bullet and re-installed my Notebook too. This did get rid of the unwanted old Mapped Network Drives - BUT NOT THE ERROR!!
I’ve been through all the troubleshooting procedures in:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/629597bb-7be0-455c-b81e-a149472d3f9b/windows-7-backup-the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified-error-0x80070003?forum=w7itprogeneral
Method 1
It had none of the symptoms reported in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455
but I scanned for ‘reparse’ points anyway. Found several “Junction Points” but none that were “Mounted Volumes”, just ordinary ‘File Folders’.
Method 2
Check a drive for errors.
Looked at:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
Checked
both boxes. I closed machine down, to check for errors when it re-started.
It didn’t seem to find anything.
I say seem, because I did not actually see it finishing checking the empty space, but stages 1-4 found no problems and Windows 7 restarted normally.
It did detect 66 ‘Reparse’ Points, which is more than it found when I scanned for them earlier.
Method 3
Yes, I am an administrator or my own machine and, as such, I have ‘Full Access’.
I downloaded an ran the Process Monitor, filtering for Process Name “Wbengine.exe”, but did dot get a single event.
So I’m not sure what’s going on.
HELP - I'm out of ideas!
I have a WORD Document that documents all the Settings I've used on both the Server and the Clients, together with the reasoning behind those settings, but
I cannot find a way of uploading it.

I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks.

Error "The system cannot find the path specified" after upgrading to R2

Hi guys,
I upgrade from SP1 CU3 to R2 and since then I can not display images, I get the error:
Failed to run the action: Instalar Windows y Configuration Manager.
The system cannot find the path specified. (Error: 80070003; Source: Windows)
just finished restart after applying the operating system. I installed all the updates, I delete and add the pxe point and nothing. The fact is that I have other tasks to capture using the same step and works fine. The hardware is a Virtual Machine
de vmware.
If anyone has ever happened or can help would be grateful. Sorry for my English.

Hi,
There is a workaround:
Wait until you get to the point where you select the task sequence
Hit “F8” to open the command prompt
Type “diskpart” and hit return
Type “select disk 0” and hit return
Type “list volume” and see if the CD/DVD drive has a drive letter of C:\ or D:\. If it does move to step 6, otherwise close the command prompt and begin the staging otherwise.
Type “select volume X” (where X is the volume number of the CD/DVD drive) and hit return
Type “assign letter=e” and hit return (if the E:\ is already taken up use the next available letter)
Type “list volume” and hit return to ensure the new drive letter is active
Close down the command prompt and begin staging

DPM Backups Fail on File Server, (ID 2033 Details: The System Cannot Find the File Spedcified (0x80070002)

I've found a few treads and posts related to this error, but none of the answers seem to work. I have DPM 2010 U7 server backing up my file server (Server 2008 R2). The backup of the D: Drive(which hosts all shares) is failing with the following error:
Affected area: D:\Occurred since: 4/23/2014 11:15:26 AMDescription: The replica of Volume D:\ on XXXXX.XXX.XX is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent. For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106) DPM encountered an error while performing an operation for \\?\Volume{bb191e08-5d62-4a60-85f1-cdbd7598976b}\XXXX\XXXXX\XXXX\XXXXX\XXXXX\XXXXX\XXXXX\XXXXX\XXXXX on XXXXXX.XXXX.XXX (ID 2033 Details: The system cannot find the file specified (0x80070002))
I've ran SFC /SCANNOW on both servers, rebooted. Ran chckdsk /f on the D: on the file server, rebooted again. Still having the same issue. The BMR and System State backups run just fine, along with the backup of the C:
I am getting the following error on the file server for volsnap.
The shadow copies of volume D: 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.
Which caused me to try moving the shadow copy storage to the C:, but then it just fails with the following error. Which makes since as the C drive is 136GB, while the D drive is 27TB.
The shadow copies of volume D: were aborted because the shadow copy storage failed to grow.
Lastly I deleted the entire replica and recreated the protection, with no luck. I tried to just slowly create the replica by adding one small parts at a time, currently its failing while trying to backup ~300GB.
I've checked the VSS Writiers on the file server, everything looks correct. Here is the print out.

Hi,
It is strange that the issue still exists after recreating backup.
Please try again to clear all replica, and specifically, move the folder involved in this error to another location such as Drive C and see if issue still exists.
Meanwhile please test if Windows Server Backup works or not.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

I've looked at HKCU\.Default\Control Panel\International and nothing looks obviously wrong. Country codes, time & date formats are correct.
How do we ascertain the cause of this error and the specific registry key that might be problematic?

Hi,
This could be caused by firewall rules or security softwares.

And in addition, the fix is worth a try.
Nothing happens when you double-click "Region" in Control Panel

I can find the folder in the Sysvol folder on all of the domain controllers.
The issue with end users seems to be that the proxy settings for internet explorer is not being applied.
Potential problems?
one folder in sysvol entry is empty

Hi all
In administering this policy I am a little confused.
We have a policy that distributes proxy settings in the internet explorer maintenance settings section - however when opening this policy up in GPO editor the internet explorer maintenance section is not present.
I plan to apply the settings via User/preferences/control panel settings/ internet settings (or registry settings from article) however I am unable to edit the settings for internet explorer maintenance and these will persist. Ideas????

Flash CS6 AIR error: CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified

I created an AIR application in Adobe Flash CS6, but when I test, debug or publish it, an error always occured.
CreateWinProcess failed with error 2. The system cannot find the file specified.
When I clicked OK, Flash suddenly stops responding, so I need to end the process using Task Manager.
I created a blank FLA document and tested and published it, everything's fine there. It was exported properly. But when I do it with the AIR app, Flash can't even start exporting the SWF of the AIP app, and instead gave me the error.
I speculate that there is something wrong with the Java command line stuff Flash is doing behind the curtain. I tried using ADL myself and get the AIR app working fine.
I also found out that Flash has its own JRE installed, so I don't have to bother the JRE used by my computer.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance. Have a nice day!

I installed the update, but I'm sorry to say that it did not solve the problem
The error is still there as described by Master §ix and Daniel777

Apply trace on RAS and look for errors in the RAS logs at the same timestamp.
These errors come for various errors and tracing RAS would give us a better idea.
It might hapen that you observe these errors for reports which takes more than the RAS timeout to export the reports.
Post getting the RAS logs you can try below steps if we see timeout errors in RAS logs.
Copy clientSDKOptions.xml file from <BO install path>\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\lib to the machine where your app is running Open clientSDKOptions.xml and change CORBARequestTimeOut from 600000 to a value large enough to allow the report to render, for instance 1200000. Default value is 600000 (10 minutes)
Specify the location of the clientSDKOptions.xml file at run-time. In your JSP or Java files, use the Java method setProperty from the System class. Set the system property indicated by the ras.config key to the specified directory as: system.setProperty("ras.config","c:\temp"). This function call specifies that the clientSDKOptions.xml file in c:\temp is to be used for locating RAS servers.
Thanks,
Prithvi

Known Issue: MIDL fails to compile IDL files in UAP projects. Gives following error: midlrt : error MIDL4034: Failed to load a dependency file. Windows.winmd (HRESULT:0x80070002 - The system cannot find the file specified. )

Visual Studio gives the following error:
midlrt : error MIDL4034: Failed to load a dependency file. Windows.winmd (HRESULT:0x80070002 - The system cannot find the file specified. )
This is because Visual Studio is looking for a WinMD file that contains the base types. Unfortunately the metadata path passed by default to MIDL through Visual Studio does not resolve to the correct file.

Work around:
Update the "Additional Metadata Directories" for MIDL to include the Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract.WinMD
To update the “Additional Metadata Directories” in Visual Studio, do the following:
1) Right click on your C++ Project file.
2) Choose properties.
3) Under Configuration Properties, click MIDL
4) Under MIDL choose “Command Line”
5) In the Additional Options text box enter:
/Metadata_dir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\References\Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract\1.0.0.0”
or on X86 machines
/Metadata_dir "C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10\References\Windows.Foundation.FoundationContract\1.0.0.0”

Flash CS 6 error: CreateWinProcess failed with error 2 - The system cannot find the file specified

Hi,
I'm getting the error "CreateWinProcess failed with error 2 - The system cannot find the file specified" whenever I try to test an Air app within the Flash IDE.
This error even comes up with a new and empty project .fla file. I already updated the Air runtime and Flash to the latest version.
How to fix this problem? Any ideas welcome!
Thank you.

I installed the update, but I'm sorry to say that it did not solve the problem

We had been getting a successful backup once or twice a week which showed completed (with no mentioned of warnings) but now it regularly shows completed with warnings as noted above.
We did a manual full backup of the DC to a different external drive a few days ago and that completed without warnings and the backup shows: E: Completed 63.38 Full - VSS Copy Backup Successful, 8/27/13 3:35 PM - 4:43 PM. Data Transferred 63.38
On a side note, we can view the logs in the windows/logs/windowsserverbackup directory but when we attempt to view the details of a log file through the Local Backup Console for any log which shows completed with errors, we get a "MMC has detected an
error in the snapin and will unload and then it shows Object referenced not set to instance of an object." The manual backup noted above that was successful is able to be viewed through the Local Backup Console without this error.
Any idea as to why this is failing during the scheduled backups? This hosts a database that we need to have regular successful backups.

Hi,
First please follow the steps below to re-register dll files. Detailed information could be found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. Type the following commands at a command prompt. Press ENTER after you type each command.
3. cd /d %windir%\system32
4. Net stop vss
5. Net stop swprv
6. regsvr32 ole32.dll
7. regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
8. regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
9. vssvc /register
10. regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
11. regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
12. regsvr32 es.dll
13. regsvr32 stdprov.dll
14. regsvr32 vssui.dll
15. regsvr32 msxml.dll
16. regsvr32 msxml3.dll
17. regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Please let us know if any command failed to be performed with an error.
If issue still exists, have a try with the step it provided "VSSADMIN Resize ShadowStorage" to enlarge the shadow storage.
Also you could test to delete all old Shadow Copies by acccessing <Drive> Properties --> Shaodow Copies --> Delete Now. This will remove all your backup information so if it is not acceptable, just skip this step.
