DPM 2012 R2 - Replica is inconsistent (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))

Since implementing DPM 2012 R2, we have been having issues with several replicas in different protection groups. We are running version 4.2.1254.0. We have been unable to backup, as we are receiving the following error when running a consistency check:
An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))
Any idea how to get this fixed?

104
An unexpected error occurred while the job was running.
This error can appear if you are trying to protect a SQL Server database that has files on a remote share. This is not supported by DPM.
Please check below DPM error codes list for reference.

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)) After DPM 2012 SP1 to R2 Upgrade

    Hi,
    We have upgraded DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 and OS is Windows 2012 standard.
    Now in File Protection Group, we receive error
    "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))".
    This happens to only one Drive(X: Drive) of the PG server, other drive(Z: Drive) backup is working fine.
    We tried,
    Deleted entire protection group and recreated ,
    Ran consistency job 2 to 3 times.
    Ran Synchronize with consistency check.
    But every time It failed. Before upgrade it was working fine.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I would suggest opening a new case with MS to allow the DPM team to further look into the issue. Also the DPM 2012 R2 RollUp which addresses the (0x80070057)
    issue is Rollup 1 and the private will not be needed after applying Rollup 1. The Roll up is found here

  • An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))

    We are using DPM Version: 4.1.3465.0 with System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 to back up VMs in our Hyper V Cluster. We have a total of 37 VMs with a combination of 2008r2 servers and 2012 servers. One of our 2012 servers will not backup, and we consistently
    get the message "An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))". I have seen this error message when I Googled it, but cannot get past it. I have deleted the Protection Group and
    data and tried to re-create, but get the same errors. I also thought the the server might be mis-reporting the data size, but I expanded that to cover the replication data. I have also tried to perform consistancy checks multiple times with no luck. I have
    not seen a difinitive answer from my Google searches, so was hopeful someone has seen this also, and have had success in resolving. Currently this server has no backup recovery points, so I am worried if it does crash. I think I have the rollups installed
    as well.

    Hi Kelly,
    does the issue still persists?

  • Recovery points failing on 2012 R2 x64 virtual server via DPM 2012 R2 x64 - The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)

    I'm getting this on only one of my many virtual servers for some reason.. i've dug around.. i saw there may be a "private" fix for this issue..
    The specific message is:
    The replica of Volume D:\ on server02.domain.local 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)
    An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))
    This is not a sharepoint server..
    Any thoughts here
    EDIT:
    I am not seeing any indication of errors on the event viewer of the server being backed up..

    Hi,
    We have released the fix in UR1.
    Issues that are fixed in System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager Update Rollup 1
    Issue 1
    A 0x80070057 error occurs when a session is closed prematurely. This error is caused by a failure during a consistency check.

  • Using MSXML2.ServerXMLHttp in MS SQL 2012 - receiving error "The Parameter is incorrect".

    I have a procedure used to make http post requests to a REST web service external to my SQL server, using MSXML2.ServerXMLHttp via POST request. This procedure works without issue in SQL 2008 r2, but upon upgrade to 2012, begins to fail with the message
    : "The Parameter is incorrect."
    It is failing when I attempt to exec the 'send' method on line 137. I cannot find any documentation about how the MSXML2.ServerXMLHttp object needs to be treated differently in 2012. I found a similar question here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/a6de1eea-5fe9-4087-809b-524c98f20a4d/msxml6dll-methodsend-dont-work-in-windows-server-2012-and-sql-2008r2?forum=sqlxml 
    But it isn't resovled - just indications to file a bug report - and one solution that says to just copy the DLL from 2008 over to 2012 to fix the issue. Is that really the right solution here or does someone have information on how to do this properly with
    2012?

    We have updated the dpm agents on all of the servers that we back up by installing the update on the servers manually and according to the data in the DPM database it has acknowledged that they are indeed updated.
    From what I can tell from the errors is the console is attempting to read the updateprotectionstatus from the database and it is not returning a value and thus causing it to crash.  but I have no clue as to where this might be in the database to even
    check if it simply missing from an update gone wrong.  
    I did notice that the update attempted to install twice through windows update and failed.  The update does show as installed under installed updates in programs and features control panel
    Any help on this would be appreciated as it does make it difficult to manage our dpm server

    Hi,
    See if this is relevant.
    1. Take a DPMDB backup.
    2. Open SQL Management studio and connect to the DPM instance.
    3. Expand the DPM database and go to the table tbl_AM_Server.
    4. Edit the table, and under the "ServerName" column check for the DPM server name. It should be the FQDN. If it is the NetBIOS name then change it to the FQDN. 
    5. Try re-opening the DPM console and navigate to the management tab and see if that works now.

  • 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]

  • DPM 2012 R2 CU 4 - issue w/ system state backup completing on non domain servers with T2embed.dll

    I am really new to DPM and just took over a system that has servers being backed up that are not part of the domain. The volumes backup fine and system state will not complete. In looking at the protection group server the WindowsImageBackup folder is created
    and the backup starts however it will fail and DPM server will say Replica is inconsistent.  Back on the protected server in the backup event log, it fails w/ error code 2155347997.  In the backup error log file in C:\windows\logs\windowsserverbackup. 
    It says "Error in backup of C:\windows\system32\t2embed.dll during read.  Error [0x80070005] Access is denied.
    We have about 4 other servers that are not domain joined and they are getting similar errors w/ t2embed.dll in that system32 directory or in the WinSXS folder.   All servers are 2008 SP2 or 2008 R2 SP1.
    Thank you in advance for you help

    Hi,
    DPM has no control over errors that Windows server backup receives, but check permissions and Remove the DENY permission for EVERYONE on the below files:

    Hi,
    What update rollup are you running on the DPM 2012 R2 server ?  DPM 2012 R2 UR5 introduced a new refresh feature that will re-enumerate data sources on an individual protected server.
    Check for VSS errors inside the guests that are having problems being backed up.

  • Upgrading DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 fails (DPM Setup is unable to connect to the specific instance of SQL Server Reporting Service (ID: 33431)

    The Background:

  • DPM 2012 R2 UR2 adds 2003 support but what about 2008?

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2958100
    I see that update rollup 2 is out and it adds support for protecting server 2003 agents but I don't see any mention of server 2008 (not R2). I have a server 2008 SP2 (not R2) machine running Exchange 2007 SP3. Will I be able to backup this
    machine's system state and Exchange data with DPM 2012 R2 if I install update rollup 2?
    Thanks,
    Teenage angst has paid of well, now I'm bored and old.

    Even without that update I believe you should be able to backup a 2008 non-R2 box already using DPM 2012 R2.
    While it's not listed on the compatibility matrix for some reason, we've got a Windows Server 2008 non-R2 (64-bit) Exchange server (exchange 2007) that is currently being backed up via a DPM 2012 R2 install, so that works.
    Thanks for the tip off about the update! Very handy since we've still got one of our DPM installs not running R2 due to a couple of old 2003 boxes, but this means (once they re-release the update which has been taken down currently) we can finally get that
    DPM server updated to R2!

  • DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup VM online

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having a problem trying to backup a VM with DPM, as it shows "offline" backup only (not online).
    Our environment:
    DPM 2012 R2 server with UR5, running on Windows 2012 R2. This server backs up all Virtual Machines running on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster. All the VMs are running Windows 2008 R2, with the latest Hyper-V Integration Tool (v6.3.9600.16384).
    Only a few VMs on that cluster cannot be backed up "online".
    I already checked the following:
     - The backup (volume snapshot) integration service is installed and enabled in the VM configuration
     - The VM does not have any dynamic disks
     - All Disks on the VM are NTFS
     - The VM Cluster resource is online
     - The VM is running
     - The Shadow storage assignment inside the VM for all volumes are set on the respective volume (not different)
     - The VM has a SCSI controller
     - Although meant for another version of DPM and OS, I tried to add the following registry key:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore - REG_DWORD ScopeSnapshots 0x0
    (solution found here: https://mvanvliet.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/issue-windows-server-2012-virtual-machines-can-only-be-backed-up-using-saved-state/)
     - Also tried to remove all VHDX from the VM configuration, save the config and re-add the VHDX
    (solution found here: http://blog.metasplo.it/2014/02/dpm-2012-r2-only-allows-offline-backups.html)
     - All the disks within the VM have plenty of free space (more than 30% on each volumes)
     - Try to move the VM around on different hosts on the Hyper-V cluster
    I've run out of troubleshooting steps...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Stephane

    Hello Stephane.
    It seems that we have the same Problem.
    Since we have installed the UR5 we have some VM’s that
    can no more backed up Online. Last Sunday we had a crash on a host. After we
    have investigated the issue we think it have to do with the Backup and the UR5.
    We have found some errors where the host have lost the iscsi Target when the
    Backup have begun.
    We have 2 Infrastructures with the same configuration HP
    Store Virtual and the Hardware VSS Provider. We can see that on the Storage no
    Snapshots are created.
    We try now to add (Workaround) a little Disk to this
    Vm’s that is configured as DynamicDisk. So we hope to make an Offline backup.
    I think we have to open a case.

  • DPM 2012 R2 Support and Hyper-V Workloads on REFS Storage

    We have deployed all of our Virtual Machines on REFS filesystem. We are in the process of deploying DPM 2012 R2 and would like to know if there is any information available from Microsoft as to when REFS will be supported for Hyper-V workloads on REFS. Any
    information will help us plan for whether to move Hyper-V loads to NTFS.
    I can see the Windows Server 2003 is now supported in UR2 and wonder if there is a roadmap available that will be included in future UR for DPM 2012 R2.
    Also any information for re-enabling the integrity checking in VHDX after we move a VM from REFS to NTFS would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I do not believe we will be adding support for protecting Hyper-V hosted on REFS in the near term, so plan on using NTFS.
    If you are already using REFS and are getting backup failures, you can create the following registry key on the Protected Server, restart DPMRA service and run a consistency check.
    A. On protected server, browse to the registry path: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\2.0.
    B. Create a DWORD registry value called "ForceFixup" and set it to 0x1.
    C. Restart the DPMRA service on protected server.
    NOTE - This will disable use of DPM filter so there will be some backup and possible server performance tradeoffs.
     We do not announce fixes in upcoming UR releases.

    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
    Event 12289
    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?

    Event 12289
    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error DeviceIoControl(\\?\Volume{XXXXXXX]).  hr = 0x80070057, The parameter is incorrect.
    Operation:
       Processing EndPrepareSnapshots
    Context:
       Execution Context: System Provider
    Event 12298
    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The I/O writes cannot be held during the shadow copy creation period on volume \\?\Volume{XXXXXXXXX}\. The volume index in the shadow copy set is 0. Error details: Open[0x00000000, The operation completed successfully.
    ], Flush[0x00000000, The operation completed successfully.
    ], Release[0x00000000, The operation completed successfully.
    ], OnRun[0x80042314, The shadow copy provider timed out while holding writes to the volume being shadow copied. This is probably due to excessive activity on the volume by an application or a system service. Try again later when activity on the volume is reduced.
