Managed Backup to Windows Azure

Hello,
I am following this article
to setup my sql server to perform automatic backups to Azure blob storage.
However, when I try to run the smart_admin.sp_set_db_backup stored procedure, it fails, since it could not be found.
It seems to be necessary having SQL Server 2012 SP1 Cumulative Update 2 installed.
I think I could properly install this fix, following instruction located in
this article, but after installing the patch, when I open Management studio and connect to the database instance, I can see it is still 11.0.2100 build.
As far as I understood, it must be 11.0.3339.0.
How can I make sure to have this patch installed?

Thank you Samuel,
You are right. It seems the syntax you referenced works. At least, I was able to create a backup into my azure storage account.
Does that means SQL Server Express 2012 does not support managed backups like article I was reading? What do you suggest?
Thank you,

Hi Igor,
For SQL Server versions previous to SQL Server 2014, you can use the add-in SQL Server backup to Windows Azure tool to quickly and easily create backups to Windows Azure storage.
This feature is available in SQL Server 2014 or later. Usually, we can back up to disk and tape, now you can back up to Windows Azure storage by specifying URL as the backup destination. You can use this feature to manually backup or configure
your own backup strategy like you would for a local storage or other off-site options. This feature is available in SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU2 or later. For more information, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.120).aspx
In addition, the SQL Server Agent component is not included in SQL Server Express editions , you could not create backups automatically via a job and offer a way to schedule either jobs or maintenance plans. However, you can use a Transact-SQL
script together with Windows Task Scheduler to automate backups of SQL Server Express databases on a scheduled basis. For more information, see：http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2019698/en-us

Problem: VSS error with 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' installed

When 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool' is installed, shadow copies cannot be enable and backups fail. When attempting to enable shadow copies, we get a "volsnap" error: "The shadow copies of volume X were aborted because
of a failed free space computation". After uninstalling the "Tool", VSS works. Reinstalling "Tool" causes the problem to return.
While the error suggests a space issue, there is plenty of space on the server's two volumes. Additionally, another 100GB volume was added and VSS storage was allocated to it; still received the error.
Issue seems to point to 'SQL Server Backup to Windows Azure Tool'.
Environment: Hyper-V guest: "Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard" with "SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard". Using "Azure Storage" for SQL backups.
Suggestions?

Hello,
Yes, we have a confirmed interference between the tool and the VSS Framework. This was identified very recently and is under investigation by the product group. Since the issue is within the filter driver shipped by the tool, that unfortunately means that
you currently need to choose between the tool and a working VSS Framework. If the latter is more important, then uninstall the tool (that will require a restart).
We apolologize for the inconvenience. I'm going to try to get the home page of the tool updated to avoid other situations like yours. Hopefully we should see a new version of the tool soon.
As a side note, recent versions of SQL Server can directly use Azure Storage as backup target, see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj919148(v=sql.110).aspx.

Steps for building SCOM infrastructure in Windows Azure for monitoring on-premise services ?

Is there a good technical document which clearly detail the steps required to build a SCOM management group in Windows Azure ? I will be using it to monitoring on premise services. I want the entire management group in Azure with SCOM gateways
at the remote sites.
Thanks in advance.

We are able to add the Azure subscription to SCOM 2012. but when we are configuring the adding monitoring wizard unable to discover the Azure service,azure storage and VM's in the subscription. Could you please let me know why I'm unable to discover
the Azure service,Azure storage and VM's in the subscription using monitoring wizard

Hi,
Download the System Center Management Pack for Windows Azure:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=38414 and execute the .msi on the server where Operations
Manager 2012 w/SP1 is installed. Install files either in the default directory specified or another directory of your choice.

Azure Backup-reviewing Windows 8.1 azure client for enterprise use

hello, i'm kicking the tires on the Azure Recovery Services Site agent for Windows 8.1. I like it - seems easy.The question I have:
I notice you have to provide a passphrase. We would like to test this offering with 10 employees but the management of the passphrase is a bit concern. Is there a way from an Azure portal (or other method) to get the passphrase of each
client machine? as system administrators, we would like to keep a copy of the passphrase in Active Directory, Azure Portal, or some centralize place (we don't want to count on the user to solely hold that passphrase because if they lose it, they will
be out of luck).
can anyone speak to that?
thanks

Hi,
There is no automatic way to help protect that passphrase. User should keep the passphrase and not share to others for private consider. If you worried about losing passphrase, you can let users to save it to an external place such as share a folder for
each user to keep a copy of them.
See:
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/09/11/getting-started-with-azure-backup/
Note that Azure Backup never maintains the passphrase and if the passphrase is lost by the user, the data can never be restored or recovered. Hence it is strongly recommended that the user saves the key to an external location.

SQL 2014 Azure Managed Backup Issues

Hi all,
We recently enabled Azure Managed Backup on one of our DEV boxes running on SQL 2014. After turning on extended mail notifications, we have begun seeing several errors getting logged. Some of them are as follows:
[SSMBackup2WAAdminXevent] Database Name = WS_AppOneInterface, Database ID = 13, Stage = VerifyJobOutcome, Error Code = 3271, Error Message = Processed 7581 pages for database 'WS_AppOneInterface', file 'WS_AppOneInterface_log' on file 1. [SQLSTATE 01000]A
nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "https://******.blob.core.windows.net/********-mssqlserver/WS_AppOneInterface_452a51d376e54b92a284132f52ead429_20140831221756-05.log:"
Backup to URL received an exception from the remote endpoint. Exception M
[FileRetentionAdminXevent] Type = SqlError, Code = 3292, Stage = Undefined, Message = A failure occurred while attempting to execute Backup or Restore with a URL device specified. Consult the Windows Event Log for details.
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally., Additional Info = N/A.
When I look at the folder in Azure storage, I see a ton of log & bak files. So are the backups working or not working? How can I tell? If SQL encounters an error, does it retry? How often? How can I check the backup status of each database on the server?
Thanks,

Windows Azure Online backup Vs. StoreSimple?

what's the difference between Windows Azure Online Backup compared with StorSimple+Windows Azure?
what scenario is for StorSimple, what scenario is for the Online Backup?
Ming

StorSimple is an appliance which can provision a LUN(s) which is comprised of SSD+HDD+Cloud storage. Hot/warm/cold blocks are dynamically and automatically managed on a per-LUN basis.
StorSimple does not however have agents (except for
SharePoint) which can, for example, back up a SQL Database. It would also be ill advised to put a SQL database on a StorSimple LUN, and expect to benefit from the Azure connection. I would advise using DPM for protecting these types of workloads,
and using StorSimple for flat-files.

Best Practice: Configuring Windows Azure Management Services

I have a 3 Websites, 1 Blob Storage, and 1 SQL Server that I would like to configure for basic stability and performance monitoring. I know I can set up alerts through Management Services based on various metrics. My question is, can someone give me a recommended
set of metrics that are good baselines?
It is nice that Azure is so customizable, but frankly I have no idea how much CPU Time in milliseconds over a given evaluation window is appropriate. Or how many Http Server Errors? More than 0 seems bad, no? Wouldn't I want to know of any/all errors?
So if anyone has some "best practice" metrics for me, that would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Hi,
>> can someone give me a recommended set of metrics that are good baselines?
Actually, many metrics depend on your scenario. For instance, if there're a lot of concurrent requests or if a single request is expected to take some heavy computation, then it is expected to have a high CPU usage, thus it is difficult to give
you a specific number.
In general, you may want the CPU usage of a web server to be as high as possible (idle CPU costs money but does not provide valuable results), but if it is low enough, if additional concurrent requests are received, they can be served without too much
delay. In Windows Azure, you may want to setup auto scaling so that if CPU usage is high enough during a period, you create a new instance. If CPU usage is low enough during a period, you remove an instance. You may also want to use response time in addition
to CPU to monitor whether you need to add/remove an instance.
>> Or how many Http Server Errors? More than 0 seems bad, no? Wouldn't I want to know of any/all errors?
As for server error, in general you want to get notified by all errors (> 0), however they're unexpected and need to be investigated. But if in your scenario you expect a certain level of server errors, then it is fine to use a larger number.

replacing <subscription id> with my Azure subscription id from the portal and <certifcate thumbprint> with a thumbprint from a self signed certificate in my personal store.
am now trying the following command
get-azurebiztalkservice -resourcename "oraman8"
where "oraman8" is my BizTalk Service and getting the following
Get-AzureBizTalkServiceProperties : Error in subscription or certificate.

Are you not using port 1433 for SQL? Is the telnet successful on that port?

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
Are there any notes for using both ?
Regards,
Yoshihiro Kawabata

Hi Yoshihiro Kawabata,
Thanks for posting here!
Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.
I will check on this and get back to you at the earliest.

How to fully backup virtual machines in Windows Azure

For those of you like me using the 90-day trial package of Windows Azure for testing purpose before moving on to the cloud, I want to backup all virtual machines unless my account will be disabled if it reaches spending limit. Recently another account
has been disabled so all virtual machines I created are removed. I've heard of the approach used to export virtual machines.

Hi Thuan,
When you hit the spending limit on a trail subscription, or an MSDN subscription with monthly limits, while it looks like your VMs are removed, the VHDs for those VMs still exist in your storage account and you can create VMs from them again when you enable
your subscription again (convert to pay-as-you-go, or wait for the next billing cycle in the case of subscriptions with on-going monthly limits).
Because of that, it isn't necessary to back them up relevant to the spending limit being hit.
And note that backing them up outside of Azure would incur egress fees which would cause you to hit your spending limit more quickly.
While it can be simpler to configure everything from scratch from new VMs created in Azure, another approach would be to configure them on-premises in Hyper-V, then upload them as either disks (to use for a single VM in Azure) or as images (generalized with
sysprep to use as a base template for multiple VMs). That way you already have a backup of the VHD in the copy you have on-premises. And, since inbound traffic is free, you don't have the same issue of hitting your spending limit more quickly (there will be
some outbound when doing an upload, but very little in comparison to a download).
Thanks,
Craig

Does windows azure service management APIs work for windows azure pack setup as well ?

Does Service Management REST APIs(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460799.aspx) for Azure work with
Windows Azure Pack as well ?

Hi,
Windows Azure Pack is basically a proof of concept.
So, it will not have all the features that Windows Azure has in the cloud.
Some services such as Cloud services & storage services are not available.
for some available API support:
