SBS 2008 Standard - Windows Backup fails first time after every reboot

Backup runs successfully every night.
Once server is rebooted first backup fails, then subsequent backups succeed OK.
So much so that we run the backup manually and let it error (pretty much straight away) then let it run again successfully at 10pm.
Backs up to external hard drive on rotation.
I think it's a VSS issue - has anyone else had this? What did you do to resolve?
Thanks,
J. 

Hi,
According to the Event ID 521, please refer to the following article. you will get detailed explains.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734453(v=WS.10).aspx
Based on all error messages that you provided, it seems that backup issue caused by sqlwriter.exe. So, please
temporarily disable SQL Server related services and then check if this issue can be solved. It will help us to confirm if this issue was related to SQL Server.
Meanwhile, would you please let me know if you have installed available update rollup for your SBS 2008 Standard?
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

  • After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning apears for every installed Add-on. "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"

    After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning appears for every installed Add-on.
    "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"
    So, i have to "Enable" my installed Add-ons on each reboot.
    Would you please help me !
    P.S.: I found that these files (and some others) will be deleted on each reboot, and it happens on computer start up (not at shut down)!
    extensions.ini
    extensions.sqlite
    extensions.sqlite-journal
    And as i mentioned, i have the same anti virus on my laptop and desktop, but i have not any problem on laptop.

    Do you have security software that acts like a sandbox or uses virtualization to restore files on a next boot?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created when required.

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is a compatibility update available.

  • Since I installed Yosemite, Time Machine is not doing any backup. It just keep coming with the following message in a window: "Backup Failed. Time Machine could´t back up to "....... Time Capsule". What can I do start backing up again?

    Time Machine not working since Yosemite was installed.

    I had this issue too and went through all the great suggestion found on this site, but finally was able to resolve it after looking at the system.log to see the reason it was failing.  By using terminal and entering:
    sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log
    I saw "Backup failed with error:11".   Then looking above, I saw many "Error:  (-36) SrcErr:YES /Applications/" messages.  After "Applications" I saw the culprit files that were causing Time Machine to fail.  I deleted some Apps that I didn't need and found Time Machine would get farther than before.  I then looked at the system.log  again and saw it failing on the remaining Apps.  I was able to use Time Machine to restore these App directories from a couple months ago before the Time Machine was failing.  Now the problem is resolved.  Whew! It seemed to be choking on corrupt files and these can be corrected by restoring earlier ones that were not corrupted.
    Well, I thought I should share this with others that may have run into the same issue so they can save time.  Hope it helps!

  • I am trying to run my registered CS6 Design Standard programs for the first time after install. InDesign runs OK, but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trail mode. How do I activate those two?

    I can't get my registered versions of CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator to run in full mode. I installed CS6 Design Standard online end of June (an upgrade from CS5.5), on my old MacBook Pro. I didn't run the programs then as I was waiting on arrival of new MacBook Pro. I migrated the programs from my old MacBook to the new, and today tried to run those programs for the first time. InDesign work OK (after an initial hiccup) but Illustrator and Photoshop will only run in trial mode, and won't let me save files. My CS6 Design Standard shows with it's registration in my Adobe Account. All seems in order, but Illustrator and Photoshop won't run in registered mode. Can you please help?

    Demons1 in the future please only migrate your documents and settings.
    Please use the uninstallers to remove your current installation.  They are located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once the uninstall is complete you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  You can find more details at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Package fails first time after changes

    Hi,
    I have a package that I am making changes to. I'm running the package via the SQL Plus Worksheet. After making the changes to the package and recompiling, I try to execute the program from SQL Plus Worksheet and get this error message:
    BEGIN xml_import_export_package2_NED.start_transfer(:v_error_no, :v_error_message,:v_error_procedure); END;
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
    ORA-04061: existing state of package "AVENTISDM.XML_IMPORT_EXPORT_PACKAGE2_NED" has been invalidated
    ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package "AVENTISDM.XML_IMPORT_EXPORT_PACKAGE2_NED"
    ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    The package does not run. However, when I execute it again it works fine. I'm now concerned that if I make a change to a package during the day, that is scheduled to run at night, that it will fail unless I run it once first.
    Is this behaviour by design?
    Regards,
    Ned

    This behaviour is by design, but it should not be a problem for your scheduled job.
    When you run the package in sqlplus, the package is loaded into SGA, and a pointer to this area is in your PGA. When you re-compile the package, the copy in SGA is invalidated. When you then try to re-run the package, the invalid pointer causes the error. Running it the second time causes a re-load of the package and the re-creation of the pointer. However, a new session (which your scheduled job would have) would not have the invalid pointer, so would work correctly.

  • Windows 7: Windows Backup failed 0x81000031

    Windows backup ran, and my once-pristine and empty backup drive now has something filling its space, so I assume some files were successfully backed up. Thing is, the Action Center icon has the red x on it and it comes up with one issue: Check, your backup (Important). Clicking this issue produces the following dialog:
    Windows Backup: Troubleshooting Options
    Check your backup
    Windows Backup failed while determining libraries location of one of the users included in the backup.
    Details: BitLocker Drive Encryption cannot be used because critical BitLocker system files are missing or corrupted. Use Windows Startup Repair to restore these files to your computer.
    Options:
    *Try to run backup again
    *Change backup settings
    Error code: 0x81000031
    Thing is, I'm using home premium. I don't see bitlocker as an option and I'm not terribly enthused about having to repair bitlocker when I can't use it to begin with. (Primarily, because I use Windows 7 Home Premium. Even if I used a version which supported bit locker, I'd never use it to begin with - I lack a TPM chip which means that anybody who has physical access to my machine could compromise my security regardless of bitlocker, it'd just take slightly longer for them if bitlocker were present.)
    I'm digressing, the point is I don't use bitlocker and I don't know how not having bitlocker prevents Windows 7 from copying files from one drive to another and making a note in a logfile that the files were backed up. I realize I simplify the method of backing files up but it doesn't get much more complex than copying them to a separate location and timestamping them.
    tl;dr: Windows Backup produced error code 0x81000031 because bitlocker drive encryption cannot be used. I don't want to use bit locker drive encryption I just want to back my files up to an external drive. Suggestions? Preferably ones that don't make me run Windows Startup Repair.

    Well 4 years later same problem simple fix, did every thing else as suggested by microsoft sys repair start up repair etc etc and just removing the drive that was included in library fixed the issue i have spent hours on
    now have to reinstall all that sys restore removed...SO EVERYBODY do what Sneha said first..
    Clicked "Start", then "Computer".
    Right clicked on the "Library" I wanted to modify, and selected "properties".
    Immediately saw that my DVD drive was an included folder in the library.
    Clicked on the drive in the list, and the Remove Button became active.
    Clicked on "Remove" and it removed the drive from the list.
    Clicked on "Incude Folder" and added in my real backup folder location (not required, I just want a libray connection to
    it).
    Clicked on "Ok".   thanks ath1234 for the process..Cheers

  • Windows Server 2012 Windows Backup failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).

    The Volume Shadow Copy service initially was running under the context of System, so we thought that ‘System’ doesn’t have permissions to access network shares. 
    When the Volume Shadow Copy service was running under the context of System, this was the error logged:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078014B' (There was a failure in creating a directory on the backup storage location.).”
    Which is likely due to not having permissions to write to the network location. 
     This is a scheduled backup trying to write to a network location, so we changes the service to run under the context of an account that does have permissions to write to the network share.
      Then the error changed to this:
    “failed with following error code '0x8078006B' (Windows Backup failed to create the shared protection point on the source volumes.).”

    We aren’t really seeing anything that gives any hint on what the issue is. 
    Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

    We are trying to back up folders/files from 2 local drives (C: & D:), both of which have only 10% space used, and 100 GB free. 
    We are attempting to back the files up to a Remote Shared File (and there is 100+ GB free space out there). 
      If we try another network location, we receive the exact same error. 
     This is Windows Server 2012, not running Hyper-V and is a physical server not a VM.
    Thank you for the link.

    Hi David,
    The problem can occur due to the following reasons:
    Not enough space inside the virtual machine's VHD.
    The Integration services installed is not installed.
    The OS is unable to auto-mount the snapshotted VHDs during the backup process.
    Also have a look at the following link and see if the symptom matches your problem:

    Please help me restore my contacts from the backup in my laptop. When i took the backup  the first time, i dont know where it took the backup. After that i tried restoring the contacts back  to my iPhone, but was unable to. What can i do to findout where did the contacts go in my laptop? Please help asap.

    Unfortunately, you have posted in the wrong community. However, I am not quite sure which community you should be posting in. Do you use iCloud for your contacts.

    Yes, it will do a full backup.
    and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
    Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups.  When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

  • [solved]Installing Windows for the First Time Ever.

    I'm not unhappy with Linux or anything.  I just finally need Windows (for the first time in many years).  I'm not really a n00b either, but I figured forum is where this post belongs.   
    The dual boot guides that I've seen so far have two differences from what I plan to do (I'm not sharing a HD, I have a separate SSD for Windows, and the other guides assume you already have windows, and show you how to install Linux alongside it), so I have a few questions:
    I have an SSD that I intend to wipe out and install Windows on.  Do I need to do any special prep for this?  When I'm in the Windows install live cd, How will I know which HD is the one that I want to use?  (I guess if it lists the size, that might help).  Should I manually disconnect the other Hard drives to be safe?  I know that Windows likes to be on the first partition on the drive, but if Windows will have it's own drive, does it need to be plugged into the first SATA connection on the motherboard?  When I buy new hardware, I generally throw the drivers disks away (because you don't usually need them for Linux)  Is that going to be a nightmare?  Is installing Windows 7 a nightmare anyway?
    That's all I can think of.  Any other tips would be welcome.

    You can boot a windows on a second hard disk in grub like this:
    title Windows
    map (hd0) (hd1)
    map (hd1) (hd0)
    rootnoverify (hd0,0)
    #makeactive # Not needed for windows 7

    During the installation, I assume the target HD has to be the first one, so it's probably best to disconnect the other disc. Also, windows always overwrites the MBR, but it's easy to fix that with a live cd. Of course, that isn't a problem if you are installing to your second hard disc.
    Windows 7 needs (at least) two partitions: a boot partition of about 500 MB and one for windows itself (I think 25GB is recommended for a 64 bit windows). Windows can be installed anywhere on a disc, even in a logical partition, but the boot partition needs to be on a primary partition. I'm not sure if it has to be the first one. Earlier versions of windows didn't need a separate boot partition if windows was installed on a primary partition.

    When I buy new hardware, I generally throw the drivers disks away (because you don't usually need them for Linux)  Is that going to be a nightmare?  Is installing Windows 7 a nightmare anyway?
    That's all I can think of.  Any other tips would be welcome.
    Hardware generally works out of the box on windows, except for the wireless for which you usually need to download a driver. Installing windows 7 is so easy that a monkey could do it. The installation does take a lot of time though.

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

  • Why can't rotate first time after launch in iPhone?

    launch app -> rotate device -> view rotated ok.
    but
    rotate device -> launch app -> view not rotated.
    what's the reason?

    It can auto-rotate at the first time after launch now.
    The reason seems not be the interface builder. Previously, I compiled the app using SDK 2.0, while the iphone's OS is 3.0. Now it is OK, I compile using SDK 3.0.
    But there is another problem. I want to switch from a non-rotatable view to a rotatable view, and if the device is in landscape mode, I want the rotatable view auto rotate to landscape mode.
    Safari can do this. But I don't know how to implement this myself.
    I switch views in this way: [view1 removeFromSuperview], [window addSubview:view2];
    because I find shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation is called when using addSubview.

  • Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

    Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
    The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
    But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
    This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

    Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
    My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem.  Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source.  Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all.  In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
    Is there any help for this affliction?
