DPM doesn't create any recovery Point for VMs

Hello There,
i am running DPM2010 and i have created a protection group which contains VMs and System State data as you can see in the screen below the details.
The problem is DPM doesn't create any recovery points and i don't see any errors as well when i create short term recovery point manually it works.
This is all tape based protection, please suggest.

  • DPM couldn't find valid recovery points for VM listed as having numerous recovery points when writing to tape

    I'm seeing the following events when DPM tries writing to tape:
    Log Name:      DPM Alerts
    Source:        DPM-EM
    Date:          15/02/2014 12:01:07
    Event ID:      3311
    Task Category: None
    Level:         Error
    Keywords:      Classic
    User:          N/A
    Computer:      <backup server FQDN>
    Description:
    The back up to tape job failed for the following reason: (ID: 3311)
    Backup of Non VSS Datasource Writer on <PROD server FQDN> cannot be completed. DPM could not find a valid recovery point on disk. (ID: 30126)
    All VMs on each of the affected servers have recovery points but
    When performing disk to disk to tape backups (d2D2T), tape backups will fail if a new disk based backup is not created before the next scheduled tape backup.  DPM always makes tape backups by mounting last successful disk based recovery point. 
    This is so we don't need to transfer data over the network since that most recent data is already on the DPM server. Look to see why the disk recovery points are failing and correct that to prevent tape backups from failing.

    Is this the only time that recovery points are verified? Can I do a manual verification of recovery points? I'm concerned that some of the backups I have may be corrupt. If that's the case I need a way of finding out which ones are affected and a way to
    resolve the issue. Unfortunately I've not found much,the DPM error code isn't even listed in the official documentation. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh859159.aspx Other threads where people have seen this issue seem to be for older versions
    of DPM (I'm using the latest 2012 R2 fully updated).

  • My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem.

    My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load 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 log in 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 Steps 1 and 2.

  • How can I create the recovery discs for my AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)

    Q.: How can I create the recovery discs for my MSI laptop/AIO computer? (For Windows 7 systems)
    A.:
    1. Locate the "MSI BurnRecovery" shortcut on your desktop or start menu. Run this program. (Note: If UAC is enabled, press "Yes" to allow the program to run.
    2. MSI BurnRecovery will prepare the files. This process may take a few minutes.
    3. Click on "Next" to continue.
    4. Click on "Advanced".
    5. Click on "Create an ISO file for the recovery disc".
    6. Select the destination where you want to create the ISO files. (Default is the D: drive)

  • Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to the usage of too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone.

    Well, I created a new Apple ID and I put money on it, I wanted to sign into ICloud and it wouldn't let me sign in due to making too many Apple IDs created. The point for logging into the ICloud was to save my photos before I reset my phone. Is there any way I could fix this? I also want to transfer my money because I think it's a waste to just forget about the $13.75 on my account. Thanks.

    I recently created a new apple ID
    Bad idea.
    Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

  • Creating a recovery drive for a K430 computer

    Hello-I have a K430 desktop computer with a1TB HDD,12 GB Memory and Win8 64 bits. I used a !TB Seagate USB Drive for C drive backup and a 2GB Flash drive for Personal Document backup. I created a HDD image backup and a backup of my personal documents using the Lenovo procedure.. I understand that I need either a WIN8 disk or Recovery drive to boot and re-install my image file.
    I am having problems creating a Recovery Drive. I formatted the drive to NTFS and verified that the Flash Drive was recognized by my computer. I searched for Recovery Drive.exe and it appeared. However, my flash drive did not appear on the Recovery window and the Next button remained greyed out. I will check and see if I have a recovery partition.Have you developed a fix for this problem? If so, please let me know. Thanks.

  • Are there any recovery tools for optical media?

    I've had a couple of DVD's  turned in to coasters recently and I was hoping that Linux could come to my rescue with some awesome 'raw-read' / recovery tools for optical media?
    I burnt the discs in Windows 7 using InfraRecorder on a brand new Plextor drive (a 'PX-891SA') and these are my first attempts to burn discs with it so I'm a bit worried it could be a hardware fault!
    I started off trying to back up some files to clear some space on my hard-drive, burning them to a dual-layer dvd, but the software kept failing to even start the burn process -- that was until I realised that I needed to run the program "as Administrator" (in Windows). It did then manage to burn the disc (I was using "Session-at-Once" mode) however when it came to the end of the burn process / the start of the 'verify data' phase it threw an error saying the write process had failed! Windows couldn't access the disc / data and (I think) still thought the disk was empty. So I restarted the burning application and used a function to just 'close' the whole disc. This seemed to work because Windows was then able to recognise the disc and read the data, although accessing the disc was slow and sounded 'stutter' ish.
    I then tried to write a single layer dvd to finish off the last couple of gig I had to back up, but again the software completed the burn phase only to report a 'fail' error right at the end (I'm assuming) before finalising the disc. Although this time I'd tried to create a multi-session disc by using the '2XXA' (or something) 'Multi-Session' iso9660 format. The result was that Windows couldn't read the disc and still thought it was empty, even after trying a forced 'close disc' operation! -- Linux however could read the disc and see that the data had in fact been burnt to the disc (although I've not yet tried copying it in Linux!).
    Finally I needed to burn a load of archives to a couple of discs (totaling ~9GiB) -- starting with a dual-layer dvd first everything seemed to be working fine, the burn process started okay and the write buffer was full etc., until at what I assume was the layer change-over it all came to a grinding halt and threw another 'write operation failed' error, only this time I can't even mount the disk in Linux....see 'dmesg | tail' output below:
    [ 5758.353005] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
    [ 5758.353015] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
    [ 5758.353016] ISOFS: File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1472).
    [ 5758.353019] ISOFS: changing to secondary root
    [ 5758.353035] ISOFS: Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
    [ 5758.353036] ISOFS: File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1536).
    [ 5758.353037] isofs_fill_super: root inode is not a directory. Corrupted media?
    Does anyone have any thought or suggestions that might help?
    - Is it likely to be a hardware fault? (I bought a Plextor because I thought they were one of the best!)
    Maybe even if I could just close the session all would not be lost?
    -- Thanks in advance --

    @chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
    I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
    The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
    However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
    ...the other folders did copy okay though!
    It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
    @ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
    @alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
    Thanks for the help!
    (pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition  in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

  • How to manually create layer breaking point for DVD9

    Hello, I was wondering if someone could please tell me how I would go about to manually set the layer break point for a DVD9 project that I burned onto 2 DLT tapes. The total size of the DVD is 6.3GB.
    I had used the "automatic" setting for burning the DLTs and sent them to a replicator. They came back saying that the layer 0 tape did not allow enough headroom for their Ripguard protection.
    I've always used the automatic setting and this is the first time I am asked to manually set it. SO now I need to figure out how I can put a certain amount of data on one DLT tape and the rest on the other DLT.
    I am a beginner at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi Eric,
    Unfortunately the information you have regarding RipGuard and the ability to copy RipGuard protected discs is a little outdated.
    Can RipGuard be broken? Yes, anything can be broken into, including the DoD Website by 14 yr old chinese students... but that doesn't mean there isn't value in protecting the DVD.
    Also, RipGuard is regularly updated, just like Antivirus software, so while older versions of RipGuard can be broken more easily, the latest versions of RipGuard are significantly more difficult to circumvent by existing software.
    But again, the point isn't to create the unbreakable 'holy grail' DVD copy protection, but rather to protect something of value.
    When you leave your house in the morning, do you close your front door and lock it? Of course you do, but why? So no one will break in. But do you think locking up your house is really going to stop someone from going around to the side of the house and busting out a window if they really want to get in? Of course it wont. If someone wants to break into your house, they will find a way.
    Same thing with DVDs. You lock your house because it provides a method of protection, a barrier to make it more difficult and to keep honest people honest. That's what RipGuard, or any copy protection software does.
    So the question isn't why would you protect your DVD, but rather why wouldn't you? In most cases if you prevent just a few illegal copies of your DVD from being ripped, it has already more than paid for itself.

  • Do I need to create a recovery file for my new laptop if there is a HP recovery

    I have just bought a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 15 - n219 sa
    Serial : [Edited for Personal Information]
    Product # : F9U67EA#ABU
    There is a recovery partition.
    I am a bit confused on the issue of recovery file creation. I have found instructions on youtube on the the creation of an image of the laptop but I wonder why I need to do that given there is a HP recovery manager.
    Although I do not really know what the manager does.
    Can anyone tell me what the best strategy is regarding recovery files for this laptop taking in to account the partition.
    After I have done this I wish to remove macfee and install the Norton I bought. Do I need to disable the macafee? If so how do I do this?
    Can I remove the macefee to save space on the hard drive?
    If you can help with these questions that would be much appreciate.
    I gues I just want to do the right thing with this new laptop and avoid deleting too much whilst savinbg space and having a protected machine I can restore.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    You should definetely create a set of Recovery Media - this is your copy of the operating system.  An example of when you may need this would be if you had to replace the Hard Drive - details on creating this can be found on the following HP document.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03481733&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
    Regarding McAfee, you should uninstall this first before trying to install Norton - you can do this in the usual way by opening Windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry for McAfee and select Uninstall.  When the process has completed, restart the notebook before installing Norton.

    Hi:
    If the HP Recovery Manager came installed with your other programs, there should be an option to create recovery disks.
    If you don't have this program, then you may be able to order a set of recovery disks from HP for your notebook.
    Call HP Technical Support for the country you live in at the link below.  If they have a separate number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
    Inform the customer services rep you need to order a set of quick restore disks for your notebook.
    You will need to provide the model number and serial number.
    Costs range from free in the UK, to $10 in the USA, to more than $10 in other countries.
