DPM Saved State Limitation

DPM cannot backup a VM in snapshot/online mode if that VM has a volume that has VSS enabled and it set to store those snapshots on a different volume.
1. Is this a limitation of DPM or the HyperV VSS writers?
2. Can other backup products that use the HyperV VSS writers backup the VM while it's online?
3. If a virtualized domain controller is being backed up by DPM as a VM, is Active Directory being backed up properly? If the Virtual DC is begin backed up with saved state mode, is AD backed up properly?

Hi,
Q1. Is this a limitation of DPM or the HyperV VSS writers?
A1. This is a limitation of the Hyper-V integration components installed in the Guest.
Q2. Can other backup products that use the HyperV VSS writers backup the VM while it's online?
A2. 3RD party backup products that utilize VSS snapshots should be able to perform online backups like DPM if they support Hyper-V guest protection. However, they will also be effected by any integration component limitations as in question 1
above.
Q3a. If a virtualized domain controller is being backed up by DPM as a VM, is Active Directory being backed up properly?
A3a. It's kind of a loaded question - Active directory is protected as part of SystemState protection. That provides more flexibility of how and what gets restored in a more granular form. For actual "Active directory" protection, you should
also perform systemstate backups. With that said, an online backup is considered application consistent and will contain a consistent AD for that point in time, and should the DC be restored, the AD will be in a good clean state.
Q3b. If the Virtual DC is begin backed up with saved state mode, is AD backed up properly?
A3b. All saved state backups are considered crash consistent - the same as if you turned off a machine or power outage occurred without doing a clean shutdown, so that would not be desirable state for a DC.

Win 2012 R2 VM on Win 2008 R2 FOC is backed up with Saved State instead of Snapshot by DPM

I've posted this question a couple of months ago
in another forum, but haven't resolved the issue yet. I'm hoping this post could help me troubleshoot this problem once again.
My question is as follows (copied from previous thread):
All my Windows 2012 R2 VMs (that run on a 3-node Windows 2008 R2 Fail-over cluster) are backed up by DPM 2012 R2 (also on Windows 2008 R2) using Saved State instead of Child Partition Snapshot. I've checked the list below (twice), but didn't find anything applicable
to these VMs.
Backup (Volume Snapshot) Integration Service is disabled or not installed.
The virtual machine has one or more dynamic disks.
The virtual machine has one or more non-NTFS based volumes.
The virtual machine Cluster Resource Group in a cluster setup is offline.
The virtual machine is not in a running state.
A ShadowStorage assignment of a volume inside the virtual machine is explicitly set to a different volume other than itself.
An App-V drive is installed on the virtual machine that creates a non-NTFS volume.
I've set the registry setting SystemRestore\ScopeSnapshots to 0 for each VM, and checked the current state with the diskshadow tool (to make sure it wasn't just an erronous datasource text in DPM).
Some more information:
all Windows 2008 R2 servers on this cluster are backed up by DPM using Child Partition Snapshot
all VMs (VHDs) are located on an HP Lefthand SAN
I'll appreciate any pointers in finding the root cause of this problem!

Hi CameO73,
I'm afraid it is not supported to online backup 2012R2 VM on 2008R2 hyper-v (it is still not supported to install 2012R2 VM on 2008R2 hyper-v host ).
I have seen a workaround of backing up 2012VM on 2008R2 hyper-v , but not for 2012R2 :

Hope it helps

Saved State Backup on Server 2012 R2 and DPM 2012

Hello, Our environment in currently in transition with planned migration to 2012 R2. In the mean time, we have a 5 node 2008 R2 hyper-v cluster with CSV. We are currently using DPM 2012 for our backup. I have read multiple postings about child
partition backup and saved state and all that seems to make relative sense.
What I have noticed is that in our existing environment (2008 R2 Hyper-v, DPM 2012) that all 2012 R2 Virtual servers setup in our hyper-v cluster show 'Backup Using Saved State'. All virtual 2003 - 2008 R2 servers on the same cluster show as 'Backup
using Child Partition Snapshot'.
So, the question: is this normal and the only way virtual 2012 R2 servers can be backed up in our environment? Or, is there some configuration on the virtual 2012 R2 servers that needs to be done so that the Hyper-v VSS writers show that it can be backed
up using Child Partition Snapshot. (Yes, I viewed the Hyper-V VSS Writer Caption: for each system on all the nodes and no, I am not talking about what is displayed in DPM 2012 since I understand it may not truly reflect the current backup method)

Have you already checked typical reason for DPM doing saved state backup? If not, find them below.
Also, do your VM have
SCSI controller added? Prior to using Veeam as our primary backup solution, we leveraged DPM and confronted the very same issue. Fortunately, by adding ISCSI controllers to VMs in question we were able to solve the problem.
Conditions when DPM fails to back up Hyper-V virtual machines in an online state
By default, System Center 2012 – Data Protection Manager (DPM) performs a backup of a Hyper-V Virtual Machine (VM) in an online state. However, DPM cannot back up a Hyper-V VM in an online state, if one or more of the following
conditions are true:
Backup (Volume Snapshot) Integration Service is disabled or not installed.
The virtual machine has one or more dynamic disks.
The virtual machine has one or more non-NTFS based volumes.
The virtual machine Cluster Resource Group in a cluster setup is offline.
The virtual machine is not in a running state.
A ShadowStorage assignment of a volume inside the virtual machine is explicitly set to a different volume other than itself.
An App-V drive is installed on the virtual machine that creates a non-NTFS volume.
These conditions are set by the Hyper-V writer. In such a case, the VM is put in a saved state before a snapshot of host volumes are taken (except when the VM is turned off) for a backup. The Hyper-V writer adds the VM in the following format:
For offline backups: Backup Using Saved State\<VMName>
For online backups: Backup Using Child Partition Snapshot\<VMName>
Additional reason if we have less than 300MB free space on a volume in the guest.
Kind regards, Leonardo.

Backup of windows 2012 Child Hyperv Server as saved state instead of Snapshot

I have a windows 2012 DPM server runing DPM 2012, with rollup patch applied. Im backing up several child servers ruuning on a windows 2008 R2 Hyperv server. All the windows 2008 child servers backup fine using snapshot, however the 2012 server
running as a child does a saved state backup, it does not have any dynmic disks.
Any ideas why?

Hi,
First, SCS DPM 2012 does not support being installed on a Windows server 2012 or protecting Server 2012 until after SCS 2012 Sp1 ships later this year.
System Center DPM 2012 is not supported running on Windows Server 2012 until we release System Center SP1 later this year. We have had reports of DPM 2012 console crashes when navigating to the recovery tab if DPM 2012 is installed on Windows server
2012. This issue is fixed in SP1.
If you are already in this condition, I recommend you backup the DPMDB, rebuild the DPM server using Windows 2008 R2 install DPM 2012, then restore your current database. The process is explained in the below technet article.
Recovering DPM servers
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj244606.aspx
We also do not support protecting Windows Server 2012 using SCS DPM 2012 until after SC SP1 is released. Please do not expect any support for DPM 2012 running on Windows Server 2012, or issues while protecting data sources in Windows Server
2012.
However, with that said here are the general conditions that make a VM go into a saved state during backup.

Freeware that can jump back to last saved state.

Hi, can anyone help me with this problem:
Software that can save the system prefrences of the mac - and let anyone meddle around with them, change anything they like, etc. Then, you shut down the mac, and start it up and its back to normal - back to the last saved state.
Or perhaps not necessarily shut down, but just has a 'jump back to last good state' option?
In a shop that sells Apples they said they'd had trouble with people coming in and changing loads of things, and that if they can just jump back to when it's all good - then it'll solve their problem.
One guy had heard of something- but didnt know the name and said it was freeware.
Has anyone got any ideas! - Only found 'TinkerTool' so far, and that's not really it at all!
Many many thanks, in advance.
MacBook (B) 2Ghz 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPods: 1G, 5G, Mini & Shuffle 2G

Yes, I'd thought about new user accounts and perhaps limiting the access customers have to play with the Macs.
So, for instance they have an account that lets them change the resolution of the monitor, but not the passwords of the administrator.
I wonder to what extent you can limit it to, which system prefrence panels they can change as a limited user, and which they cannot.
Will go investigate, but thankyou for all replies so far!!

How can I use Labview to recall saved states on my HP8920B RF Test Set

I need labview6.1 to recall saved states on my RF Tester. There is a recall button on the front of my tester, all you have to do is select the state's name and it opens up on the screen. I want Labview to do this work with a click of the mouse. I am using the HPIB (GPIB) interface, which seems to be working with the HP8920 driver (I couldn't find one for the 8920b). If anyone could help me out, that would be great.

Try *RCL [State name]. Send this command to the 8920B. Sample code included.

StateManagerImpl.saveSerializedView tries to let UIViewRoot be a session
attribute and the error message says it should be serializable; certainly it' not.
I think HttpSession.setAttribute does not claim the object should be serializable.
I don't know why apache's StandardSession.setAttribute claims so.

"Error saving state file"

I am getting an error that shows up on the alarm screen - it says "Error saving state file:c\program files\national instruments\lookout 5.0\petco.l4t".
Background: An old XP pro machine running the application died and was replaced with a new Dell, business class PC, Optiplex 360, Win XP Pro sp3, 2.2ghz dual core.
After moving the application and setting up the PC, I get the following message every time it trie to say the state file.
Is this a compatibility problem with the new hardware?
What can I do?
any ideas?

Does this machine have an auto-backup feature?
Some backup applications can actually lock the partition, making it read only.

Saved state is not backuped in HyperV backup for Win2012R2

I am trying to backup Win2012 R2 VM on my Win2012 R2 hyperv host using VSS.
Before starting backup my vm is in Saved status.
But after backup I cant find saved state file *vsv and *bin file in the backup so I am loosing whatever contains I have in saved state.
Its working fine on Win2008. Is there any change in VSS/Saved state behavior in Win2012R2?
hypervbackup is the utility I used to run backup.
Thanks In advance. Please let me know if more details are required.

Hi Sir,
According to your description , one thing came into my mind .
In 2008/R2 , to backup VM online the hyper-v vss writer must be registered , if not , the VM will run into saved state untill accomplishing the backup .
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2008/08/20/how-to-enable-windows-server-backup-support-for-the-hyper-v-vss-writer.aspx
If you are in that case ( hyper-v VSS writer was not registered in 2008/R2 ) , actually the backup will perform a file based backup , it will keep the VSV file there .
If you do same backup in 2012 R2 (select VM's folder then backup) , the VSV file should be backed up .
In 2012/R2 you do not to manually register vss writer , you just need to select VM and backup .

Preview App Saved State Removal Doesn't Work

I'm having trouble with my Preview App in Mavericks. I evidently had too many windows opewn and it became unresponsive, so I had to use Force Quit. Relaunching opened all the previous windows and the problem was repeated. After searching the Communities, I learned that the Saved State folder for Preview should be deleted. Then, I couldn't find the Saved State folder, and, after more time searching, I learned it's hidden in Library of the Go menu (Thanks a lot, Apple). I trashed the Saved State folder for Preview, but nothing changed: It STILL opens up all the previous windows. I can't even wrap my brain around how this is possible!
The machine is a 2010 Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.1
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: I should have said "Zoom to Fit doesn't work as expected"
I was hoping to use Preview as a proper replacement for Acrobat but this is really aggravating. The zoom to fit only seems to use the horizontal Preview document space to determine the viewed file's fitment. Which of course is useless if you want to view the whole file in totality at the maximum space available. I simply want 100% of the viewable document area to maximize to the given space, not just 100% horizontal. As it stands there doesn't seem to be a way to do that other than using the scale field and just trial and error the percentage until you get the result...
Any tips, tricks, workarounds?
Message was edited by: Richard Benson2 for clarity
I have had the same issue for over a year, and it's very aggravating, as I used to use it all the time, and still need to, but it just won't work. It will work if an image is too large, but not when it's too small, and it take multiple "zoom ins", and then you can't get it to fit right! I don't know Apple hasn't fixed this key flaw.... No OS update yet, has fixed it.

IPad revert to preconfigured saved state on cold boot?

We're looking to create a saved state for all the apps and OS settings for our many iPads that would reset automatically on a cold boot. Apple Configurator seems to require too much finagling. We're just looking for some kind of scripted solution that could recall our preconfigured settings for each iPad, restoring it to our business's preferred "pristine" condition whenever the iPad is started from a fully off state.
I've searched for this everywhere online, but I'm not finding what seems like a very common need for a business that relies on iPads.
Thanks in advance for any resources/apps/info you can provide!

Is it the same keyboard you tried on all occassions?
Sometimes there is a little gap, when the I/O-port metal bracket is not in properly.
Have you tried PS2 mouse and keyboard? Is there any mentioning of this in Device Manager.
Windows is keen on having USB-things hot-plugged, while that is totally wrong for PS2-things.

20 State Limitation... best practice for FC 5.5

After reading past posts, I'm aware of the 20 State limitation within the app. Having said that, is there such a thing as "best practice" to increase the number of States? Using Flash Pro is not an option. Thank you and much appreciated.

You need to look at grouping you design into custom components to get around the 20 state limit, or you might have to introduce real code to the project via Flash Builder.

Flash Catalyst - solutions to the 20 states limitation

Oops!! I accidentally marked this question as "Assumed answered".
I have not got any respons yet and am very anxious to hear about a solution to my problem.
hjbune2
Hi everybody
I have created an interactivew project in Flash Catalyst, however, just as I am about to add the final states to the project, I am told that I am limited to 20 states. Apparently I have exceeded that number and cannot finish my project, which has taken me hours to create.
The help file tells me that the way around the limitation is to encapsulate components. Unfortunately, there are no concrete examples of how to do that.
If someone can help me out here, I shall be very grateful.
Yours
hjbune2
Hi again
I realize that it is difficult to help me unlless I'm more specific as to my project.
The project has a main window with a vertical menu with 10 buttons which displays in every state and opens with an application transition:
I have an 'on click' interaction on each of the buttons, which transitions the user to "contents 1" on a page with a scrolling bar component, using a flex component from the common library:
The button in the lower right corner brings the user to a scrolling panel sub page:
The button in the lower right corner opens a pdf document to allow the reader to print the subject.
This is the structure for all 10 buttons in the vertical navigation bar.
Futhermore, I have animated background boxes coming in from the bottom on the scroplling panel pages.
I was not aware of the 20 states limitation before I started the project and am hoping that I can still save the project by finding a work around that will allow me to fit all my items and their contents into the existing structure, some magic recipe ;0)
If this is not possible, I am hoping that someone can instruct me on how to design the structure to avoid the problem next time around.
Any help will be VERY MUCH APPRICIATED.
By the way, I think Adobe should definitely introduce the states limitation at an early point in their tutorials, so that it does not come as a nasty surprise when it is too late. I have watched all the adobe video tutorials and there is no mention of this limitation.
I hope that they will bring a video tutorial on how to work your way around it, with step by step examples, as soon as possible.

Hi Chris
I don't mind sharing my project at all and will be very grateful if, if you would tke a look at it.
How do I make the fxp file accessible here in disacussion forum. I cannot find any insert/upload file option in this editor.
Best regards

Hi again
I have now uploaded the original project, where I ran out of states, and the edited project where I tried to use custom components with states for item one's subpages.
I sincerely hope that you can tell me how to go beyond the 20 states, since the success of my undertaking is utterly dependent on this.

Finder Saved State Issue

I don't know why, but just starting today I have 3 apps that open on a restart or login. These are not login items.
Firefox
ICal (which displays repeated reminders of three weekly events, some going back several days. cancelling only stops them in the current login session)
Numbers
I have repaired permissions twice.
I have reset the pram.
Via the Go/library by holding down the option key I have:
Emptied and locked the saved state folder.
Deleted the finder plist file.
Deleted my account login items and deleted the login plist file.
Restart after each.
I have checked and unchecked the reopen windows box on logout/restart - no difference either way.
I have created a new admin account that does not exhibit these issues.
I have had ongoing issues since buying this 10.7.2 mac mini with permissions and older numbers documents opening when starting the numbers applicataion. I know all about the option key on close or closing all windows before quiting the program, none of that has any effect. Also not being able to create backups of numbers files due to write protection issues. I also have the fetching issue on the system folder as well as other folders.
Part of this and maybe all of this is caused by attempting to migrate files from a mac mini with 10.4.11 on it.
Is there any hope by doing a clean install and not lose data files/application keys/etc And can that be done by holding down the command R?
I guess I am out of ideas and would appreciate some input.

Wow, these type of problems are always hard to diagnose. Could be a software or hardware issue. Let's not forget RAM problems in addition to the HD. What I would do first is look in the system log for kernel messages. If there are i/o problems with the HD they'll be logged there. Also, your Mac Pro has ECC ram. You'll see corrected ECC errors in the log if there's a RAM problem.
From Apple:
"If you see more than four ECC errors in 48 hours, it may be a sign of an impending DIMM failure. Before replacing the DIMM, shut down the server and reseat the DIMM.
Often, a DIMM that is not fully seated will cause failures due to thermal effects on the DIMM connector. If the failures recur, the DIMM is probably about to fail and should be replaced at your earliest convenience."
In my experience, multiple corrected ECC errors resulted in a very unstable Mac Pro even though they are supposedly corrected and everything is theoretically okay.

How to create a shopping cart which will be in saved state

I am creating the shopping cart using the standard function module BAPI_SCEC_CREATE. After the shopping cart creation, I use the FM BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT , so that the created shopping cart is committed.
Now , The problem is, if I create a shopping cart using the above process, it gets into awaiting approval state. What do i do to save a shopping cart rather than creating it. I mean to say, the state of the shopping cart should be saved.
And let me know the procedure to update an existing shopping cart which is in saved state.
Thanks,
Karthik Babu.
