Backup vhd file says "in use" but its not acually being used. or i dont have permission/ backup not happening by schedule

backup of 2012 server says I don't have permission?? im THE administrator.
unchecked archive
on other servers the file says in use.
file resides on a NAS.
I can move the file.(200gb+) but its still useless
does 2012 server just produce worthless backups sometimes???
I cant seam to get it to even follow its own set schedule  its supposed to do it weekly, but its decided not to do it.
or only backup a few KB?

Could you please provide a little more information about your environment?  What backup program are you using? What sort of VHD file are you trying to backup? VHD files are used for more than just virtual machines, so it is difficult to try
to diagnose a problem when we don't know what is being used.  What sort of NAS?
.:|:.:|:. tim
server 2012 datacenter running the Microsoft backup utility.
the vhd is standard MS backup image.
im running a domain network and the nas is a netgear readynas in domain mode, i.e. user account has full folder privilages.
I have several 2012 servers all with subsequent VM's of ALL flavors. and my most recent backup did this anomaly on one of the 3 servers.
the backup is being done from the main domain admin act, and I am logged into that server as my account (cloned from domain admin) but logging in with actual administrator account does nothing for the errors.

  • When i try to update to firefox 3.6 it says close firefox but its not running

    when i try to update my firefox to firefox 3.6 it will get to installation wizard and it will say close firefox but it isint running and im getting tired of it i need help

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Printer wont print. have new ink. trouble help say it ok but its not ok

    I HAVE A HPPHOTO SMART C5180 ALL IN ONE PRINTER. IT JUST STOP PRINTING SO I CHECK THE INK REPLACE IT WITH NEW INK AN NOW IT JUST WONT PRINT I TROUBLE SHOOT IT AN IT SAY ITS OK BUT IT STILL DONT PRINT . I ALLSO REPLACE IT WITH NEW PAPER AN IT STILL DONT WORK

    If resetting the que fails try deleting the printer and reinstalling (delete and allow your mac to find it again). This has worked for me in the past when I had trouble with the que.
    If that fails you can search the HP website for a OS-X compatible driver for this printer model and try using that instead of the pre-installed driver selected by OS-X.
    Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

  • Message says blank DVD but its not

    Hello...I have a mac pro running 10.5.8 and have successfully burned many DVDs thru iDVD...they play properly when I watch them on a DVD player thru my TV but when I put them in the computer it says that I've inserted a blank DVD...whats going on?

    Rentals are a one-time only download - if you downloaded it on your iPad then from here :
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • Backing up from within recovery mode - trying but its not happening....

    So my MacBook pro has gone into this weird mode. I'm not sure but I think it's the safe mode (grey Apple logo, a circling 'loading' thing and a bar). After the bar loads fully, the laptop just shuts down itself. So after a few tries, I googled on my phone and on many forums, they said to press the option key to go into recovery mode. Now, I wanna back up my files into an external hard drive. I have one with more than 400 gb free.
    And I followed the instructions for backing up in recovery mode: choose the Mac hard drive and make new image with destination as the external hard drive. The Mac hard drive is just about 160 something gb, more than enough space available on the external hard drive but every time I try making a new image, it says 'Unable to create "Maxi tosh HD.dmg" (file too large)'. I really don't understand what to do. I have my English assignment in there and my deadlines already over, I'm desperate. Please help!
    My laptop is a MacBook pro 13" mid 2012 model. I will seriously be really grateful for any help, at all.

    sorry I've already asked this question

    be sure you have the '''Accept cookies from sites''' and the '''Accept third party cookies''' is selected (Firefox button > Options > Privacy > Set Firefox will: to Use custom settings for history), also click Exceptions.... and be sure the site you're trying to access isn't listed.
    If still you can not login try to delete the '''cookies.sqlite''' file and any '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' files in firefox profile folder(Firefox button > Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > Under the Application Basics section click on Show Folder), and check it again, see for more info : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-login-issues-on-websites-require-passwords#w_remove-corrupt-cookies-file Remove corrupt cookies file]

  • Why does I'm IPad say fully charged when its not its 92% should I get it looked at by a professional ?

    My IPad is at 92% and I plug it in and it says fully charged but its not. Should I get it looked at ?

    The battery meter is really just an estimate
    However, you can calibrate it
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    I want to change my primary email on Apple ID but it says I can't use email already in use but its not my alternative email - it may have been in the past - any ideas?

    I don't believe Apple lets you delete old accounts. They also will not let you merge them.

  • I want to reduce pdf size up to 5mb for mailing perpose, anybody have any option to reduce it since I have used optimiser & reduce file size option but its not helpfull.

    I want to reduce pdf size up to 5mb for mailing perpose, anybody have any option to reduce it since I have used optimizer & reduce file size option but its not helpful.

    The optimizer can reduce space, but some things can't get smaller. Text for example. Play with the settings, examine the results of Audit Space Usage.
    Or give up. Even 5 MB is too large for a bulk mailing, by far. Instead put it on your web site and mail a link - done!
