DPM 2012 R2 BMR on Windows 8

There are a couple of posts out there regarding bare metal.
All though BMR seems to working fine on my DPM 2012 R2, when backing up servers, i was wondering if it was possible with workstations.
Seems that it is now allowed to add a workstation (Windows 8) as a server, where one is able to set up System state and BMR, but i keep getting following error:
Affected area: Computer\System Protection
Occurred since: 22-01-2014 12:01:53
Description: The replica of System Protection Computer\System Protection on pcX.mydomain.net 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 failed to create the backup. If you are backing up only System State, verify if there is enough free space on the protected computer to store the System State backup.  On protected computers running Windows
Server2008, verify that Windows Server Backup (WSB) is installed and that it is not performing any other backup or recovery task. (ID 30214 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990ED0)
More information
Recommended action: You can see the errors reported by WSB in the Eventlog on the protected computer pcX.mydomain.net . For resolution actions and more information on these errors, go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734488(WS.10).aspx.
Synchronize with consistency check.
Run a synchronization job with consistency check...
Resolution: To dismiss the alert, click below
Inactivate
All volume back up completes successfully.
This test so far was done on Legacy boot mode machines. Wonder if same issue is present on UEFI aswell?
Any help is appreciated

Hi,
SystemState protection is not supported on desktop operating systems but as you found out DPM does not hide the system protection option when you protect a desktop operating system as a server.

  • DPM 2012 R2 (BMR) Replica allways inconsistent

    Hello,
    I have two Server 2012 servers running DPM 2012 R2. I am trying to do a Bare Metal Recovery backup on one of our protected servers. The protected server is running Server 2008 R2. But since i added the server the replica is allways inconsistent.
    Error on the DPM server:
    An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process (0x80070020))
    All jobs in Windows Server Backup on the protected server shows as: Succesfull.
    No errors in the log files on: C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup

  • DPM 2012 R2 UR2 and Windows 2003 SP2 Agent Version Issue

    Hi All, I have UR2 installed on my DPM 2012 R2 server and have followed Mike's guide on getting them protected:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2014/06/11/details-on-protecting-windows-server-2003-computers-using-data-protection-manager-2012-r2.aspx
    The agents now show in the DPM console but display as needing an update and showing as agent version 4.1.3313.0 instead of 4.1.3441.0, which is odd.
    Servers have:
    .Net 3.5 Sp1 Full
    Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17
    From the DPM server:

    Executed:
    setdpmserver.exe -dpmservername DPMserverName
    From the DPM server:
    Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 script on the DPM server and refreshed twice
    What have I missed?

    Hi.
    Reboot your 2003 Server
    Run DPM Setup again on Server 2003
    Run setdpmserver.exe again
    click refresh in DPM Server

  • DPM 2012 R2 unable to connect to Database after failed Update Rollup 4 Installation

    We have a DPM 2012 R2 Server with SQL Server 2012 installed locally.
    We tried to install Rollup 4 for DPM 2012 R2 (KB3009516) using Windows Update
    and it failed with error code 0x80070643. Now when we open the DPM Console
    it is totally empty (no Protection Groups, Servers, Disks, just like a fresh install).
    In the eventlog we get a lot of Errors and warnings:
    Event 941 (MSDPM)
    Unable to connect to the DPM database.  Make sure that SQL Server is running and that it is configured correctly.
    Cannot open database "DPMDB" requested by the login. The login failed.
    Event 4209 (MSDPM)
    The description for Event ID 4209 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
    If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
    The following information was included with the event:
    DPM Writer encountered an internal error.  Please restart the DPM Writer service, and then try the backup operation again. For additional troubleshooting information, review the application event log and the DPM Troubleshooting Guide.
    Event 107 (Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER)
    Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.
    Event 274 (SQLISService110)
    Microsoft SSIS Service:
    Registry setting specifying configuration file does not exist.
    Attempting to load default config file.
    Then there are some Errors/warnings from SQLSERVERAGENT about failed scheduled Jobs.
    I think the failed Installation changed some database Settings, so that now the DPM Console
    cant access the database anymore.
    I would be happy if someone can help me getting this Server working again!

    Our biggest problem is, that the DPM is not working any more. So there is no chance to backup the SQL Server via DPM.
    I think the main problem is that DPM have no access to the database. Every time I start the DPM Application, I get an error "verify that the DPM service is running on this computer". In the eventlog are many errors that the msdpm service was unable
    to connect to DPM Database. Another "information" is that the user 'nt authority\system' failed to open the database of dpm.
    We've tried to reinstall the DPM but its still the same problem. I suppose that is a corrupt database.
    Tomorrow I try to restore the database and hope it will be the solution of our problem.

  • Question about supported servers to be backed up by DPM 2012 R2

    Hello everybody,
    do I interpret

    DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup Windows Server 2003 32-bit any more?
    DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup Windows Server 2008 32-bit any more?
    DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup SQL Server 2005 any more?
    Thanks for clarification.
    Best Regards, Stefan Falk

    Hi
    Correct. What is on the support matrix is what DPM supports.

  • DPM 2012 VSS Errors

    We have our DPM 2012 R2 installation on Windows 2008 R2 servers. We encounter failures some of the time on our Full Express Backups on Friday evenings where we get VSS errors in the event logs. 
    Event 12298

    We haven't encountered these issues until recently. Is there any idea on how to remedy these. I just installed DPM 2012 R2 this week so I am hoping it helps. But does anyone know if there is a hotfix or something for this in case it does not. I read about
    these events having a hotfix for Windows 2003 servers but not Win2K8?

  • DPM 2012 R2 Agent not rechable : Not enough storage is available to complete this operation (0x8007000E)

    Hi,
    We have DPM 2012 R2 installed on Windows 2012 R2 and Protecting SQL 2012 with DPM  and  recovery point created twice per day.
    And getting frequently warning and error mails “DPM Agent not Reachable” and  "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation (0x8007000E)" in DPM Console.
    I know its SQL server and it occupies most of the RAM and CPU, but can I set its frequencly or time interval of DPM Agent perodic check to avoid this mails.

    Hi,
    Did you try limiting the sql memory to 60% of physical memory ?
    Also adjust the paging file to be physical ram * 1.5 + if necessary.

  • DPM 2012 R2 UR4 and BMR backup from physical 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS)

    Hi,
    I'm completely lost.
    We updated from DPM2010 (2008 R2) to DPM 2012 R2 RU4 (2012 R2).
    Clean install. Same hardware. Everything went quite smoothly.
    Our new (and also old did the same thing) DMP protects some Hyper-V guest on our 2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster, one Exchange (2010) DB's and SQL 2008 R2 DB's and one physical server - 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS ~160GB of data).
    Currently we are using some Buffalo Terastation's III (TS-RIXL) iSCSI SAN storage to hold our DPM protected data.
    Configured as RAID 5.
    Our new DPM server is connected to those iSCSI devices using built in MS iSCSI initiator via secondary NIC on this server using dedicated iSCSI subnet.
    Everything seems to be fine unitil System State and BMR (I'v checked both) runs.
    Basically my iSCSI NIC shows Write about ~170Mbit/s and Read about 520Mbit/s when backing up virtual machines, Exchange or SQL.
    When it comes to System State and BMR backup the trouhgput is MUCH slower (about 65Mbit/s) and I can not figure out why. I understand that the BMR backup initiates direct writing to the DPM created and shared replica volume on my iSCSI NAS (my wording
    might be not correct but basically  I understand how this works). But I don't understand why the speed is so much slower. I'v tried everything, googeled around, changed NIC drivers, firmware etc. No luck.
    If I just copy some big ISO file from/to server to DPM or vice versa the speed is arount 100MB/s (as reported by windows itself). So it seems to able to utilize full network speed. But why this backup is so slow? I'm excpecting to see speed about ~170Mbit/s
    because it corresponds my iSCSI Write speed as seen when backing up hyper-v guests and DB's..
    What I'm doing wrong?
    Any help is appreciated :)

    Hi Sven,
    Sometimes BMR is slower than backing up virtual machines (VHDs). If there is a free local disk, please test to do a backup locally to see the speed. From your description a common backup works much faster so let's see if it is the backup speed which causes
    the issue or not.

  • DPM 2012 R2 failing on backup of BMR and System State

    We are running DPM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012 and I am trying to protect another Windows 2012 Server with a Bare Metal Recovery and system state but it fails on initial synchronization.  I get the following error in DPM:
    DPM failed to create the backup. If you are backing up only System State, verify if there is enough free space on the protected computer to store the System State backup.  On protected computers running Windows Server2008, verify that Windows Server
    Backup (WSB) is installed and that it is not performing any other backup or recovery task. (ID 30214 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990ED0)
    This is a new server and there is 65.7 GB of 99.9 GB free on the C drive.  131 of 136 GB free on the F drive.  The P drive only has 100 MB free of 36.3 GB but that is where the pagefile is located, nothing else is on the P drive. 
    Would that be a problem or is that irrelevant?
    The replica volume is 30 GB and the recovery point volume is 6.06 GB.  I tried increasing the replica volume all the way up to 200 GB and the recovery point volume to 30 GB but that didn't matter. 
    Why is this not working?

    Hi,
    Try this and troubleshoot any errors along the way.
    1) Set up a network share on a remote machine
    \\server\bmrshare
    2) From an administrative command prompt on the Protected Server you want the BMR backup for, type:
    wbadmin.exe start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:\\server\bmrshare
    This should show you the list of volumes included in the BMR backup and ask "Do you want to start the backup operation?. - Type
    Y to continue..
    3) Once completed, see how large the BMR backup is on the remote server, then resize the DPM replica accordingly to accommodate the size of the manual BMR backup.

  • DPM 2012 R2 agent update on Windows 2003 server x64 - Exchange

    According to the release notes on http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2014/04/23/now-available-update-rollup-2-for-system-center-2012-r2-data-protection-manager.aspx the following workloads are supported on Win2K3 with DPM2012 R2 UR2:
    SQL 2005
    SQL 2008
    SQL 2008 R2
    SharePoint 2007
    Does that mean protecting Exchange 2007 on Win2K3 is no longer an option after upgrading to DPM 2012 R2 (UR2)? It works on DPM 2012 SP1 but I need to know if it will continue to work after upgrading.
    (This question follows on from this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c425421b-b726-4125-82fc-beae8947722c/dpm-2012-r2-agent-update-on-windows-2003-server-x64?forum=dpmsetup which was marked as 'answered')

    Hi,
    Yes, Exchange 2007 backup will continue to work. I think that due to the timeframe of the UR2 release not all workloads were able to be re-certified, thus the limit in supported workloads.

  • Does DPM 2012 R2 with rollup 2 support any version of Windows Server 2003/2008 on Hyper-V?

    We have Hyper-V Hosts with VMs which include Windows 2003/2003R2/2008/2008R2.
    If I we upgrade to DPM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 2, will we be able to backup all those VMs now?   The support matrix (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj860400.aspx)
    still seems to show what is supported by the initial release of DPM 2012 R2, not an updated version for the rollup.
    We currently use DPM 2012 SP1 and Hyper-V hosts using Server 2012.

    Hi,
    This is kind of a loaded question because DPM 2012 R2 never dropped support for protecting Windows 2003/2008 using host level backup.
    However, the support matrix will be updated shortly to include the added support for protecting workloads on Windows 2003 / 2008 using DPM 2012 R2 UR2.

  • DPM 2012 R2, Windows 2012 R2, and "stop" VM during backup

    I did upgrade
    DPM 2012 SP1 to 2012
    R2.
    DMP backup the server with Hyper-V
    machines, windows / linux.
    The previous version of Windows, as
    did backup via partition shapshot
    not stop its operation.
    Current unfortunately it does!
    During backup closes all connections
    to the virtual machine, start the
    copy and return connections.
    Hyper-V also shows the
    beginning of a new machine to count
    on time as if they held the
    restart (even though it was not).
    As every change / off?
    Going back to the previous version?
    Backup Group I created again
    - does not help.

    "We are looking for what is
    the procedure for checking why
    the DPM wants
    to do only
    offline backup"
    Yes that is why I asked what do you see in your "Windows Server Backup" from the Hyper-V host.  Did
    you do an update at the Hyper-V Hosts? Could you update the Hyper-V integration tools in your Virtual Machine? 
    What guest system is used in your windows virtual machine? If there a Windows Server 2008 R2 (with installed SP1) or a windows server 2012 you should try to update the integration tools at this machine first. When updated is done, try to backup online again.

  • Dpm 2012 remote administration - windows 7

    HI,
    I am doing a POC with DPM 2012 RC.  DPM2012 server has been setup and is working so far. I am trying to connect the DPM console for administration using Remote administration feature installed on my windows 7 machine. I am unable to connect and getting
    the error as:
    Unable to connect to <dpm server name with FQDN >(ID:948)
    Verify that the DPM service is running on this computer.
    I dont see any service being installed on windows 7, am I missing anything or any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi Newspleaner,
    I did fresh install of windows 7 SP1, then i installed DPM 2012 (RTM) Remote Administration Console. 
    Everything is working... I could open the console and connect to DPM2012 server with FQDN name.
    Communication between Remote Administration Console and DPM server use TCP dynamic port. You should verify that you don't have FW/Router that filtrated TCP Dynamic ports.
