Easy Server 2012 backup solutions with tape support?
We have several smaller to midsized customers that have invested money in tape drives and tapes. They are using Symantec BackupExec on Server 2003 / 2008 and 2008 R2. Unfortunately, Symantec postponed Server 2012 support in their products many times
already. This fact costs us many business opportunities to upgrade infrastructures to Server 2012.
DPM 2012 is good for larger customers, but less suited for smaller companies (and the DPM "philosophy change" of the backup procedures, compared to older tape based backup solutions is an obstacle as well.)
So we are looking for EASY backup solutions that support tape drives and server 2012. The "perfect" product for us would be just a tape driver and an extension to the integrated Windows Server Backup that would allow to store backups on tapes,
the same way that Windows Backup allows backups to network shared folders.
Does anyone knows EASY backup software that provides this functionality? I'm also very interested in feedback from peoples that have successfully used such products on Server 2012 and are satisfied with them.
Thank you all in advance for any help.

Looks like we are in the same boat here with 2012.
For all its trouble, BackupExec has been instrumental for us in providing our customers with a backup application that no other software vendor has been able to match. This includes:
1) Granular backup and restore of Exchange allowing the restore of individual mailboxes and single mail items
2) The same Granular backup and restore of Hyper-V's VMs
3) The ability to backup to Tape, Removable USB HDD and NAS and Network shares
Not even Shadow Protect cuts the mustard anymore – it’s become simply “stupid”.
Although we love the simplicity and robustness of Windows Backup, there are some very serious deficiencies including;
1) The extreme difficulty of adding additional USB HDD after the backup schedule has been created. I believe that this has partially been resolved in R2 but in 2012 it was a utter mess-up. We
resorted to hooking up two 5-port USB Powered Hubs so we could make sure that all USB HDDs could be included in the schedule - what a mission! One blown hub after the other - couldn't find one that could handle the electrical current load of 5x USB HDDs!
2) No Granular restore ability of nothing... had to resort back to the "old school" ESEUTIL "after" restoring the entire Exchange database to alternate location.
3) Backup to a Network Share is pathetic - can't store more than the current backup. What use is that? Had to resort to backing up to Network Share then including that backup in another Windows backup - go figure!
Like Franz, our customers have invested HEAVILY in Tape Drive hardware (some of which cost the customer in excess of $8000) and that excludes the cost of Symantec BackupExec.
Although BackupExec 2012 now supports Server 2012, the re-purchase of the software is not a consideration to most of our customers.
Sorry Franz, I don’t have a solution for Tape Drives yet. This is one reason why we have stayed away from deploying 2012 that already have a recent investment in Tape Drive technology.
However, because there is NO other backup solution that compares to Symantec BackupExec (version <2010), we have been successfully implementing a hybrid solution (which, unfortunately, still does not include Tape Drives) including our own business.
As BackupExec 2010 does not support Windows 2012 as a “Media Server” there IS a workaround in a “virtual environment”.
We have successfully installed BackupExec 2010 on a Hyper-V Virtual Server as the “media server” and targeted the backups to shared folders on both NAS and removable USB HDD shares (off the Host Server).
Although it works GREAT, there is still the serious deficiency of not been able to use Tape Drives (unless some really bright spark out there has an idea on how to make a Tape Drive accessible to a VM).
Another REALLY good solution in which we deployed just last week was to supply the customer with a dirt-cheap PC, install it with Windows 2008 and the Tape Drive and schedule all the normal (and yummy) BackupExec 2010 granular backups to. Remember, the BackupExec
agent WILL install and run just fine on Server 2012 - no problems there.
This has become an INSTANT hit and this is OUR solution – a very small price to pay for “real granular” backups to Tape Drive.
I hope that you find that the mentioned "good solution" a viable and cost-effective workaround.
Backup Exec DOES NOT support Windows 2012. I just got of the phone with them today April 24, 2014. I have been using BE since Seagate made version 7. Every product Symantec buys eventually turns to crap! I just left Symantec Endpoint
Protection after 13 years because it is unreliable and has very poor detection compared to other products. In fact, it is so bad, that Symantec won't participate in any third-party evaluations that they don't pay for such as AV-Comparatives.org.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Symantec!

Hi
We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
i am stumped, any advice would be great!Hi
Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

SQL Server 2012 Standard compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
Hi,
Is SQL Server 2012 Standard compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
In volume licensing portal Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard is not provided in the list of OS supported for SQL server 2012.Hi Ajit,
Besides other post, please also note that
Service Pack 1 or
a later update is needed for the support of SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
For more details about how to use SQL Server in Windows Server 2012 R2, please review the following KB article.

Manage Server 2012 Backups from Windows 8.1
Hello,
I am trying to find out if it is possible to manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation via GUI or is the CLI the only option?
I found a few articles online that mention to use a computer management console > storage > backup (but from what I know it only works if you're connecting from a 2012 server itself)
Thank you in advance!Hi,
We cannot manage server 2012 backups from a windows 8.1 workstation. Ye may need to use Remote Desktop Connection to access server 2012 from windows 8.1 workstation. In additional, we could manage server 2012 essential backups using dashboard on Windows
8.1 workstation.
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Hi
I have windows server 2012 which is my domain controller. It has 2 hyper visor virtual machine that they are 2012 too. I have an additional domain controller in another location too.
I want to know, how can I restore a bare metal or system state backup to another machine, to have a domain controller same as old one whit all the properties, rules and features.
ThanksHi Mehdi,
Yes, it is possible to restore Windows backup to a different machine with different hardware. This article, although written for Windows Server 2008 still applies in 2012:

Hi
I have recently bought a new server and purchased Server 2012 licenses. I am now trying to configure backups and I am not seeing the option to backup to the tape drive on the server.
I am unable to use the tape drive unless I buy a third party product ?
I am able to backup shared drives ?Hi,
Yes, if you store backups on a remote shared folder, only one version of your backup will be maintained.

Need backup solution with zero user interaction
Good Day.
I'm putting together a external/offsite backup solution for a client that runs OSX10 Server on a Mac Mini.
Their data is on a Promise SAN, and they currently back up via software daily to an externally attached 4TB Drive.
The big problem is that each day, a user comes in and removes "yesterday's" external drive to give it to the courier who stored it offsite, then they plug in the drive for "today's" backup. Neither the user nor the courier has access to log in to the server to unmount the external drive. Many times, this leaves the external drive in a corrupted state and unusable.
I'm not allowed to give the user of the courier access to the server, and attempts to schedule or script the unmounting of the drives have been troublesome.
I'd like to know if there's a solution out there, possibly an external chassis with removable drives or something similar that can be used to allow for easy removal of the drives to offsite storage that would not require an actual unmounting of the drive.
All advice is appreciated.What software are you currently using to do backups?
Not that it will help, but if you were backing up to an external optical drive e.g. DVD or Blu-Ray then they have a physical eject button which would tidily eject the media, unfortunately hard disks and even hard disk docks do not work the same way.
Something that might help would be if whatever backup solution you used was able to work on a Mac that did not need to be logged in as a user, in other words that ran as a Unix style background process. This would mean that as no user is logged in the Finder would not be active and this would reduce but not eliminate the avenues for corruption.
Again it will probably not help you but a different approach used by many is to backup over a WAN or Internet link to another site, with this approach your backup media is already offsite and you don't need to eject it to transport it. This does of course rely on a decent speed link in both directions so as to both allow backups and restores.
Something else to consider, if you used a separate dedicated Mac for doing the backups rather than a server then you could consider giving the courier access to the backup machine without having to give access to a server. If you use encrypted disk images on the backup drive then even with access to the backup machine it maybe possible to still prevent their access to data on it. -
I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled
However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
Are there any other things I have missed?I can email anybody the firmware module if interested and how to...

SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database
Hi all!
I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
Error
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
OK
I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
Please, help me.
Thanks.Hi Kirill,
From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

We are running the Server 2012 HCT against a SAS MPIO driver for a server platform with dual redundant storage controllers. The test fails with this error:
(x) For non-iSCSI test environment, please make sure at least two HBA ports are connected to the storage target.
File=testsrc\driverstest\storage\wdk\mpiotest\logotest\devicelib\mpiodevice.cpp Line=2772
Error: 0x0, Error 0x00000000
The system does have two ports connected so the cause of the error is unclear to us. We do not have any problems when running the 2008R2 HCT. Are there any known issues or fixed or workarounds for this problem?Sorry, maybe I should say WLK rather than HCT. We are trying to submit the SAS MPIO driver for WHQL signing.
Here is a sample MPIO snapshot where you can see our driver is controlling five drives each with two paths.

Server 2012 R2 VDI with profile disks not using domain default profile
I'm testing a VDI environment running on Windows Server 2012 R2. The VMs in the pool are running Windows 7.
I've enabled profile disks for my test pool. I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
I've found that when a new user logs into the VDI pool, the domain default user profile is not being used to create the new profile. Can this be changed?Hi,
I also have a domain default profile (stored under netlogon) that is used when creating profiles for new users.
Place default profile under netlogon share doesn’t enable users to use it as their default user profiles, which only shares the profile contents to users who have access permissions.
If you want to customize default user profile, please refer to this article below:

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String
Hoping someone can help. As stated above, we are running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. When I create a Data Source as follows in Reporting Services, I receive the following error message. Any thoughts on why this fails? The same data
source works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2.
Data Source type: OLE DB
Connection string: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source="\\networknamehere\CSVFiles";Mode=Read;Extended Properties="text;HDR=YES;FMT=CSVDelimited"

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---;Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu
