CUCM backup on Windows 7!

Hi all,
I am facing problems while trying to backup my CUCM on Windows 7.
I use freeSSHd, it was working fine on Windows XP and Windows Vista. I did tens of backups and restores so the configuration on CUCM and SFTP server are 100% correct (Server name, path, username and password).
Since I moved to windows 7 last month, I haven't been able to perfom any backups, nor any 'file get tftp' from putty.
The file get tftp gives me: Invalid username/password combination.
The update in the backup device page gives me: Update failed : Unable to access SFTP server or SFTP server too slow to respond.Please make sure the login credentials and path are correct.
I paused my kaspersky antivirus and tried again with no luck.
When I open the FreeSSHd software, I try to enable SSH, it gives me the message 'Generic error for access violation'.
I installed FreeFTPd, I tried to start the SFTP service there, it gave the same error 'Generic error for access violation'.
My CUCM is running on version 7.0.1.11000-2.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Mazen,
Sounds like a windows issue to me. If you can confirm network connectivity is fine and you can ping, I would start checking to make sure you don't have multiple FTP programs running or multiple instances of freeftpd running that could be causing issues, disabling Windows firewall and testing (Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall), and try right clicking the freeftpd program and 'Run as Administrator'.
HTH,
Chris

[Forum FAQ] Schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup in Windows 8.1

As we known that there is no UI for user to configure Image backup in Windows 8.1, this is a guide for your to schedule multiple versions of System Image Backup.
Step 1: Create a task to schedule an image backup with following command:
SCHTASKS /Create /SC WEEKLY /D MON /TN WeeklyFullBackup /RL HIGHEST /ST 13:00 /TR “wbAdmin Start Backup -backupTarget:F: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet”
Step 2: Schedule a robocopy to backup the saved image with BAT file:
Please create a new folder (in this example, the new folder is e:\test2) to save your multiple copies of image backup:
Write following batch file to copy backup and rename with backup date:
*****************BAT********************
@echo off
robocopy e:\test1\ e:\test2\ test.wim
ren e:\test2\test.wim test_%date:~10,4%%date:~7,2%%date:~4,2%_%time:~0,2%%time:~3,2%.wim
NOTE: e:\test2 is my location to save multiple copies of image backup; e:\test1 is the location I create the system image backup.
This BAT can also help to rename the copy of image backup with date and time like below:
3. Set up a basic task in Task schedule:
Note: please make sure the time you configured follows the time you set for image backup in Step 1.
Action -> Create basic task (Name you task) -> Trigger (Set how often this task should be run) -> Action (Start a program) -> Under Program/script, point to your bat file you create in Step 2.b -> Finish
At the end, you can know more about SCHTASKS and Robocopy via following links:

What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford. Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again. If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine. If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

Can't restore Windows 7 file backup in Windows 8.1

Hi There,
This seems to be quite a stupid issue to have but here we go... before installing Windows 8.1 onto my laptop I took a backup of my user files using the Windows 7 backup tool which created me an array of zip files, with a catlog file and a MediaID.bin...
all normal.
I then performed a fresh install of Windows 8.1, deleting the existing Windows 7 partitions.
Having completed the install I'm finding it impossible to restore my Windows 7 backup... I can't even find a function which allows me to browse to a backup location to try and restore!?
The Windows 7 File Recovery tool isn't there any more, and for all intents and purposes "Recovery" doesn't seem to do anything useful... I don't want to restore a system image, just some files.
Can anyone help with my probable stupidity?? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Well I'm extracting the new backup set and guess what WinRAR 5.01 took care of the long filename problem, with a full video shortly. The long filenames was windowsold. The metro apps have very long names.
To all admins/MS employees after watching the next video, I'm asking for shadow
Darkken to stop repeatedly telling us this does not work when in fact this does.
You really can't read.
Long filenames aren't the issue here. They never were, and I pointed that out several times.
Large files that get split across the set are the problem. As in some files are being split into multiple smaller files pieces that simply extracting and overwriting each other doesn't work.
Seriously, I give up. You simply do not hear people, you're too concerned with phantom issues that no one but you has brought up, and you don't take the time to actually pay any attention to what people are saying.
The article YOU posted even mentions these files, and advises people to ruin them and make them useless.
My problem was long filenames, anyways I have fully extracted and completed the backup set using winzip. For larger files I use this method.

Re: How to use Windows 7 file recovery in windows 8.1?
Windows 8.1 no longer has Windows Backup, because it has been replaced by the File History feature. In Windows 8, you could still access the Windows 7 backup/restore utilities, but these have been removed in Windows 8.1.
When you create a backup using Windows Backup, you should use the Restore Files wizard to restore the files. If you can't use the Restore Files wizard (for example, when you're using a computer that’s not running Windows Vista or Windows 7), you can manually
extract files from a backup by following these steps:
1. Open the location where your backup is saved.
The files in your backup are saved as zip files.
Right-click the backup file (a file with the Windows Backup icon and the name of your computer), and then click Open.
To manually extract files that are larger than 200 MBs
If a file is larger than 200 MBs, it will be split into multiple zip files. You will need to extract and then combine these files following these steps:
1. Open the location where your backup is saved.
Find the zip files that contain the file you want to extract. For example, if you're trying to extract a video file named BirthdayParty, you would find the zip files that contain files with that name.
Create a folder on your desktop to extract the files to.
Since the files all have the same name, you'll need to rename them as you extract them.
Extract the first file into the folder you created on your desktop and then rename the file.
Repeat this step until you have extracted all of the files, making sure that you name them similarly. For example, if you have four files for the BirthdayParty video, name them BirthdayParty1, BirthdayParty2, BirthdayParty3, and BirthdayParty4.
Open the Command Prompt window by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Command Prompt, and then, in the list of results, click Command Prompt.
Type the following command: copy /b filename*.file_extension new_filename.file_extension
For example, copy /b BirthdayParty*.avi BirthdayPartyAll.avi
WINZIP OR WINRAR WILL WORK FOR YOU, IF NEEDED TO BE. VHD FILE WILL WORK FOR YOU IF YOU CREATED THE IMAGE. I HAVE NO PROBLEM RESTOREING 10 GIG ISO SPLIT INTO 5 FILES. I HAVE EVERY IMPORTANT FILE I
HAD IN WINDOWS 7 NOW TO USE WITH WIN8.1
Stop telling people this does not work. IT does. I do suggest anyone getting ready to install windows 8.1 to make a VHD file. You'll have less work to do. This method is for emergencys only.As the person
asking the question asked. I supplied the answer for him/her to get the files back

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.

How to backup a Windows 2008 R2 KMS to prevent reactivation in case of failure?

Hi all,
I'd like to know if there is a solution to backup a Windows 2008 R2 KMS configuration to prevent reactivation of the KMS in case of reinstallation.
I just want to not being limited by the number of KMS activation with the same key.
Thx in advance for your help.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
You do not need to backup a KMS host.
You only need to replace the failed KMS host with a new KMS host using the same configuration and ensure that its SRV resource record is added to DNS, if you are using DNS auto-discovery. The old SRV record is deleted eventually, if record scavenging is
implemented for DNS, or you can delete it manually. The new KMS host then begins collecting renewal requests and KMS clients begin activating as soon as the KMS activation threshold is met.

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 ?

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.

Restore 2003 std system state backup on windows 2003 Enterprise

Hi
I have taken windows 2003 std SP2 full backup (systsem state, C drive, and Data drive) few days back. My question is, can i restore this backup on windows 2003 Ent SP2 version?.
Regards,
Suhag.

Hi Suhag,
please check this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249694#method4
It is well explained there. The preferred method to use in order to restore Windows 2003 backup is by using ASR.
However, I think you can backup/restore only the same version of the OS:
"Operating system version
The source and destination computers must use identical operating system versions and identical Windows stock-keeping units (SKUs). For example, you can't back up Windows 2000 Server and then restore it on a computer that is running Windows 2000 Advanced
Server. Also, the source and destination computers should both use retail versions of Windows or the same OEM version of Windows. The best practice is to install Windows on the destination computer by using the same installation media that you used to install
Windows on the source computer."
Also, servers also have to have the same HAL (hardware Abstraction layer) which basically means the same hardware (CPU, MBU and so on).
Hope this helps.

Vladimir

Managed Backup to Windows Azure

Hello,
I am following this article
to setup my sql server to perform automatic backups to Azure blob storage.
However, when I try to run the smart_admin.sp_set_db_backup stored procedure, it fails, since it could not be found.
It seems to be necessary having SQL Server 2012 SP1 Cumulative Update 2 installed.
I think I could properly install this fix, following instruction located in
this article, but after installing the patch, when I open Management studio and connect to the database instance, I can see it is still 11.0.2100 build.
As far as I understood, it must be 11.0.3339.0.
How can I make sure to have this patch installed?
Igor.
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

Thank you Samuel,
You are right. It seems the syntax you referenced works. At least, I was able to create a backup into my azure storage account.
Does that means SQL Server Express 2012 does not support managed backups like article I was reading? What do you suggest?
Thank you,
Igor.
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.
Hi Igor,
For SQL Server versions previous to SQL Server 2014, you can use the add-in SQL Server backup to Windows Azure tool to quickly and easily create backups to Windows Azure storage.
This feature is available in SQL Server 2014 or later. Usually, we can back up to disk and tape, now you can back up to Windows Azure storage by specifying URL as the backup destination. You can use this feature to manually backup or configure
your own backup strategy like you would for a local storage or other off-site options. This feature is available in SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 or later. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.120).aspx
In addition, the SQL Server Agent component is not included in SQL Server Express editions , you could not create backups automatically via a job and offer a way to schedule either jobs or maintenance plans. However, you can use a Transact-SQL
script together with Windows Task Scheduler to automate backups of SQL Server Express databases on a scheduled basis. For more information, see：http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019698/en-us
