Scheduled Backup & Manual Backup not Inintiating for CM

I am trying to do a Backup for CM. But it is not getting started it showd the error "Backup initiation timed out. Master agent might still be processing this operation or may be down.". I checked the DRF Master and Local services- it was up and running. I Restarted the service and tried, still it shows the same error and does not backup. The Backup device, scheduler is all configured and the Backups took place till last week. The Backup server is up and other backups for different sites are successful.
Guys please help me out as an upgrade is scheduled later tomorrow for that server. Thank You.

Hi Bijoy Jack.
I had the same problem, and I stopped the antivirus protection service on my FTP server, after this solved my problem.
Maybe you need try this if you have a firewall or other protection file or network.
Regards.

Monthly and Yearly backups not working for Protection Group?

Hi
We have a Protection Group with 160 members currently attached to it. The group has the following customized Recovery Points:-
- 1 recovery point every 1 day for the last 2 weeks, 1 recovery point every 1 month for the last 60 months and 1 recovery point every year for the last 5 years.
The schedule is as follows:-
- Every Day at 01:00, Every Month on First Day at 01:00 and Every 12 Months on 01 January at 01:00.
The daily tape backups are working fine without issue but neither the Monthly or Yearly backups are being attempted. We have checked the monthly backups for this issue for the last few months and are unable to see any evidence of the Monthly schedule even
running? This means that we are having to manually label the Daily tapes once a month as Monthly tapes but they will then stay on the Reports for the next 5 years as DPM will constantly request these tapes back.
Are you able to help with this matter?
Not that we really want to do this but if we removed the group completely and re-create it would this cause problems with our restore points?

Hi,
This is a known issue that can occur in all current versions of
DPM including DPM 2012, to correct the condition, you simply need to perform this step. Any time before the next scheduled (monthly or longer) backup, manually update
the long term backup schedule by hitting the MODIFY button. The code that runs when modifying the backup schedule redoes the bacup schedules and it fixes the scheduling issue.
Below is a DPM Power-shell script that will show you the scheduled backups for all recovery goals for all protection groups. You can see the last time each recovery goal ran, and the NEXT run time, so you can monitor
the goals and re-fix them if necessary.
NOTE: It takes about 20-30 minutes before the fixed next run time schedule will be populated after modify the protection group and updating the schedule.
# This script will list all currently scheduled backup to tape jobs #
# It will list scheduled, last run and next run dates #
# Note: The script takes in consideration that the DPM Database was installed locally on its #
# Default instance. If SQL is installed on a different location/instance, edit the line #
# that starts with $instance = '.\msdpm2010 #

I cant seem to get this script to run.. can someone point out what might be missing..
I've tried creating a shortcut like the following as well:
Target: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -File "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
DPM\DPM\bin\dpmcliinitscript.ps1" "C:\Data\scripts\scheduledjobs.ps1"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\"
If i run as admin in just takes you to a command line prompt in PS..
Any thoughts on what is missing here.. i've modified the ps1 to reflect 2012 in my case.. 2012 R2
DPM
Tech, the Universe, Everything: http://tech-stew.com
Ok, the 1.6 script works.. but only if i run it from the ps1 script file.. by right clicking it and doing the Run with Powershell option (non admin).. my shortcut doesnt work.. same issue.. it just goes to a power shell prompt. The right click and
run is non admin mode as well.
When I run it with the right click it shows no jobs scheduled.. If i look in dpm 2012 r2 i see a yearly tape backup scheduled for today.. the script doesnt show me a way to also get the monthly to appear (i've set the monthly for a day later but it doesnt
appear in the scheduled tasks for next 7 days).. i was under the impression this script would help force the monthly to appear/run.. but even the yearly that does show in DPM scheduled tasks isnt showing up with the script (maybe admin issue?)

ISE 1.2 scheduled backup not working

Hi all,
I have clean installation of ISE 1.2 (HA) Patch1 and tried to create scheduled backup from GUI. I can create it without problems but it does not start.
I have created manual backups which are working fine, so there is no problem with FTP server. I have checked CLI and there is no kron job in CLI as I would expect it from version 1.1.x.
Any idea or do you think its TAC case?
Thanks,
ML

There is known defect whereby if the timezone has more than 3 characters. Could you please check the timezone on the ISE CLI with "show timezone"
CSCui44324 ISE 1.2 scheduled backup can't be configured
Symptom:
Backup task can't be configured in ISE 1.2 UI
Conditions:
Install/Upgrade ISE to v.1.2
Login via GUI and try configure backup task under "Administration -> System -> Backup and restore".
ISE timezone shortname is more than 3 characters (e.g. CEST).
Workaround:
N/A
Further Problem Description:
Looks like patch 2 would fix this defect.

Backup not working for File Server

We have System Center 2012 Sp1 installed with Agent Version : 4.1.3453.0
We are protecting File Server which is member in DFS. We have Volume of More than 2TB and which is spanned accross multiple VHDs.
I am facing problem with Backup not working and DPMRA service is getting stopped unexpectedly. When i try to create recovery point manually i don't get option to syncrhonize the changes. 1st and 3rd option is geryed out.
I am getting Error on DPM as Affected area:   E:\
Description:   The replica of Volume E:\ on<ServerName> is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data
from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
   DPM failed to communicate with the protection agent on <Server> because the agent is not responding. (ID 43 Details: Internal error code: 0x8099090E)
   More information
Recommended action:   1) Check recent records from the DPMRA source in the Application Event Log on FUSE.win2k.internal to find out why the agent failed to respond.
2) Make sure that the DPM server is remotely accessible from <Server>
3) If a firewall is enabled on the DPM server, make sure that it is not blocking requests from <Server>
4) Restart the DPM Protection Agent service on <Server>. If the service fails to start, re-install the protection agent.
   Synchronize with consistency check.
   Run a synchronization job with consistency check...
Resolution:   To dismiss the alert, click below
   Inactivate
I have Re-installed Agent but it is not helping.
I have Other Volume labeled as F: and sized at 600 GB. Backup of that Volume is working fine for Same server.
Please Suggest how to troubleshoot.
Thanks in Advance.

HI Chris,
Sharing files using Bluetooth
To share files using Bluetooth, you first need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on, and then use Bluetooth File Exchange to send a file.
To turn on Bluetooth:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Bluetooth.
Select the On checkbox. To allow other Bluetooth enabled devices to “discover” your computer and send files, also select the Discoverable checkbox.
Select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar” so you can quickly send files and perform other actions using the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
To send files using Bluetooth:
Choose Send File from the Bluetooth status menu in the menu bar.
If the Bluetooth menu isn’t visible, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Bluetooth, and select “Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar.”
In the window that appears, select the file you want to send and click Send.
Select the device you want to send the file to and click Send.
If you don’t see the device you want to send the file to, make sure the device has Bluetooth turned on and is discoverable.
You do not need File Sharing turned on for Bluetooth technology.

Backup Not Starting for 'Whole database offline + redo log backup' @ DB13

Hi Experts,
I am not able to perform 'Whole database offline + redo log backup' by DB13.
I have recently configured my 'init<SID>.sap' to take 'Whole database online + redo log backup' and its working perfectly fine.
I tried taking test backup for 'Whole database offline + redo log backup' but it didn't even started.
Thus I created another profile with name init<SID>back.sap and changed the Parameter
from 'backup_type = online' to 'backup_type = offline' and also tried by 'backup_type = offline_force'
rest all parameters being same as the profile init<SID>.sap
Kindly Suggest as I need to take set the backup Strategy as Mon-Fri -> 'Whole database offline + redo log backup' and Sat -> 'Whole database offline + redo log backup'
One more Query : While taking the redo log backup by DB13 why is it that some times it only saves the Files and some time it
saves and delete the files from the '/oracle/<SID>/oraarch' location. Please throw some light over this matter also.
Thanks,
Jitesh

Scheduled Backups Stopped Running

I have two Hyper-V 2012 Servers on which I have scheduled a number of backup jobs using the SCHTASKS command. The backups have been running fine since I created the tasks on 2/26/2014 until last night. On one of the servers the backup was supposed to run
at 6:00pm last night and on the other one it should have run at 7:00pm. On both of them the backup task was apparently not triggered, when I view the event logs for the task manager there is no entry there at all for those times.
On the server where the backup was supposed to run at 6:00 last night I brought up the task manager and see this for the job.
Name: WeeklyBackupMonday
Status: Ready
Triggers: at 6:00 pm every Monday of every week starting 2/26/2014
Next Run Time: 3/17/2014 at 6:00pm
Last Run Time: 3/3/2014 at 6:00pm
Result: The last job finished successfully.
Clearly the job that was supposed to run on the 10th did not run, the same thing is happening on both servers. The other server has a backup job that is supposed to run on Sunday and it also did not run. The history shows that prior to Sunday the jobs were
running normally.
I find it very strange that both servers started exhibiting the same issue simultaneously and am having a difficult time knowing how to troubleshoot the issue as I can not find anything in the logs regarding why it may have failed. Can any one point me in
the right direction for troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please post the SCHTASKS command to help us troubleshoot the issue. In the meantime, please refer to the thread below to see if the issue is related to Task Scheduler Service Quotas:

How can i do backup ?

Hi Alexander,

Anyone using OEM for scheduling backups?

I'd like to see a poll for the number of users using OEM for taking database backups. Had some interesting conversations with some colleagues via social media and it seems like some DBAs don't trust OEM for their backups even though the feature works IMO.
Are you using OEM to do backups?
Edited by: DBA on May 3, 2012 1:02 PM

I have 91 scheduled recurring backup jobs running through OEM 12c BP1. They work quite well. I've only noticed a few problems and nitpicks:
1) Occasionally, for unknown reasons, a backup job against a newly-added database target will fail stating that the backup cannot be run since the database is closed. The database is not closed, it's up and running fine. Changing the backup job to run using SYS as SYSDBA credentials resolves this problem.
2) Identification of failed backups is not as customizable as I would like. For example, if I have a full "backup database plus archivelog" running, and during the course of that backup an archivelog backup runs and deletes archived logs, OEM will report that the backup job has failed since RMAN throws an error about not being able to backup an archivelog it expected to find. I dealt with this by adding SKIP INACCESSIBLE to the backup statement. I'm not totally comfortable about that but I monitor for offline datafiles so I consider this only a minimal risk. Our custom backup scripts used to catch this warning and ignore it.
3) It's really annoying that, after creating a backup job through the target Availability -> Schedule Backup tool, I cannot then run a 'Create Like' against that backup job to create a nearly identical one against a different database target. You have to schedule each of them from the Schedule Backup tool. Clicky clicky clicky clicky.
4) A backup job created through the 'Schedule Backup' tool has a job type of 'Database Backup', therefore when the job fails a high-availability incident is created, so you can configure incident rules to receive notification of this event. This is good. Unfortunately a backup job created from the Jobs page has a job type of 'RMAN Script' does NOT create an incident on job failure out of the box. I've had difficulty configuring incident rules to catch failures for RMAN Script job types. This is not good.
5) The repeating schedule options for jobs are limited compared even to something like cron. I can schedule a job for a day of the week, or a day of the month, but cannot easily schedule a job for "the first Tuesday of each month". This can be worked around.
6) After creating and submitting a backup job through the Schedule Backup tool, you cannot edit the RMAN script without recreating the job. You can only edit the RMAN script before submitting the job. I deal with this by having my backups run stored scripts in the recovery catalog, and make the changes there if I need to change something.
7) It is very annoying that if I 'stop' a repeating job (instead of suspend), there is no way to resume that job. It has to be recreated. This is my own user error -- I just don't click the stop button. Not OEM's fault but I'd rather not even have that button.
8) No ability to sequence jobs. You can sequence steps within a job, but then the entire job succeeds or fails as a unit. If you want to back up database A then immediately back up database B afterwards, you have to create a multi-task job. The multi-task job has the same problem as item #4 above such that it does not create a "backup failed" incident when the backup fails.
Even with all of these gripes, I am quite pleased with the backups I have running through OEM.

DPM 2012 R2 Backup job FAILED for some Hyper-v VMs and Some Hyper-v VMs are not appearing in the DPM

DPM 2012 R2 Backup job FAILED for some Hyper-v VMs
DPM encountered a retryable VSS error. (ID 30112 Details: VssError:The writer experienced a transient error. If the backup process is retried,
the error may not reoccur.
(0x800423F3))
All the vss Writers are in stable state
Also Some Hyper-v VMs are not appearing in the DPM 2012 R2 Console When I try to create the Protection Group please note that they are not part of cluster.
Host is 2012 R2 and The VM is also 2012 R2.

Hi,
What update rollup are you running on the DPM 2012 R2 server ? DPM 2012 R2 UR5 introduced a new refresh feature that will re-enumerate data sources on an individual protected server.
Check for VSS errors inside the guests that are having problems being backed up.

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster.

"Backup optimization on" is not working for "backup database"

Hi,
I am using a windows environment and my database info is like this:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Productionnow, I change my configuration for backup optimization on and then make example tablespace offline and also make example datafile offline. After that I run 2 times "Backup Database" command but 2 backup has same size and have example tablespace too... Backup archivelog all is working bur backup database is not!
according to this link it must not backup example datafile for second: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmconfb.htm#BRADV113
is there something that I missed ?
rman configuration:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 5;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF;
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM 'HIGH' AS OF RELEASE 'DEFAULT' OPTIMIZE FOR LOAD TRUE;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'C:\APP\ABC\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA'; # default

If you enable backup optimization, then the BACKUP command skips backing up files when the identical file has already been backed up to the specified device type.
1. In case of datafile RMAN compares the DBID, checkpoint SCN, creation SCN, and RESETLOGS SCN and time as a datafile already in a backup. If they are identical then skip to take backup again.
2. In case of archived redo log RMAN compares thread, sequence number, and RESETLOGS SCN and time.
3. In case of backupset RMAN compares recid and stamp.
Backup optimization applies to only commands,
-BACKUP DATABASE
-BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with ALL or LIKE options
-BACKUP BACKUPSET ALL

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. What do I do???

I recently bought a new laptop because my old one crashed. The only backup I had for my music was on my ipod. My new computer will not recognize the ipods music and I can't transfer anything. It keeps asking me to sync the ipod to this computer, but I'm scared to lose all my music. I want to transfer some of the music onto my iphone but I can't. I'm very frustrated and wish I knew more about computers at the moment!?!? What do I do???

You will need the help of some sort of 3rd party software to help you copy the content from your Shuffle back to your PC. Once you have done that, you can reimport this music into iTunes and configure it to sync to your new Shuffle.

Reinstall the software properly. migration/ backups do not work due to the specific requirements of the activation system.

Email Alerts for Scheduled Backup Failures on Cisco UCM?

Hi,
I never set this up before or know if this is possible. Can I setup email alerts on Cisco UCM 8.X when a scheduled backup fails?
I specified the SMTP host under the OS administration page, but that is it.
Please let me know if this is possible and if so how I can set this up?
Thank you in advanced!

You'll be looking for the CiscoDRFFailure in Alert Central of RTMT. The alert can be configured to send a free text alert to an email address on backup failure.
