Unable to stop Windows Server Backup

WSE2012. Backup regularly hangs while trying to back up one of our server disks to an external usb drive. Both source and destination drives check out ok - no fragmentation, disk errors, plenty of free space. Tried to Stop the backup gracefully
via the UI by right-mouse clicking the server listed in Dashboard>Devices tab and choosing Stop backup... but this is unable to stop it.
Tried to stop the block level backup engine service exe (wbengine.exe) but it appears to be orphaned and unkillable.
Task Manager shows wbengine.exe is running, so I've tried doing these things from an elevated command prompt:
1. wbadmin stop job -- this returns The process could not be terminated. There is no running instance of the task.
2. TASKKILL /F /IM wbengine.exe - same error message as above.
Short of rebooting the machine or unplugging the usb drive (which sometimes works but leads to data corruption), how can the backup be stopped and restarted?

Mandy,
Thank you but no such luck. We're running Windows Server 2012 Essentials and we don't have 3rd-party software running on the server except for BackupAssist. We started with wbadmin, have moved to trying BackupAssist (BA), now am working with
their support team. Latest suggestion is to go back to native Windows Server Backup. But I have seen this issue before we installed BA. I will wait until we duplicate the problem there before responding here again, but my best solution is
to either unplug the backup drive (forcing a cancellation) or reboot the server. This has really got us baffled.

Can't stop Windows Server Backup

Server 2008 R2 SP1 using Windows Server Backup connected to NAS via iSCSI. Scheduled nightly backups have been working correctly for over a year.
A running backup has been stuck for 12+hours with the message "Removing deleted items..." There is plenty of storage available on the NAS.
Attempting to cancel the job via GUI brings up another window "Please wait..." with a progress bar continually looping from 0 to 100%. Running cmd as Administrator using wbadmin stop job, prompts Yes or No , answering Y doesn't responds with
a blank line. I can't reboot the server until the weekend, are there processes or other services I can try to stop?

Similar problem with WSE 2012 and backing up to an usb external drive. Backup hangs but I am unable to kill the Block Level Backup Engine Service. When I try either of the following commands from an elevated command prompt:
wbadmin stop job
taskkill /F /IM wbengine.exe
I get: "The process wbengine.exe with PID xxxx could not be terminated. Reason: There is no running instance of the taask. Lou H., did you encounter this and figure out another way?

Hi,
It seems that there is an error accessing the catalog. You could run the "wbadmin delete catalog" to delete the catalog to resolve the issue.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:

Please note: The command "wbadmin delete catalog" will remove all backups existed on your server.

A fatal error with Windows Server Backup

Hey,
I'm trying to backup my Windows Server 2008 R2 (physical server). Windows Server Backup tool crashes when I start to start it. It gives me error "A fatal error occurred during a Windows Server Backup snap-in (Wbadmin.msc) operation. Error details: The
Windows Server Backup service has stopped.
Errors I get to event viewer:

These devices (disks) that are showing in warnings arent initialized from Disk Management. If I open Disk Management, it always pops up prompt to initialize disks. I havent initialized these disks cause I already have them in use, but Windows regonizes those
disks twice cause I'm using multipath. I shouldnt initialize one physical disk twice.
I think seeing these disks twice is crashing my Windows Server Backup. Is there a way to disable specific disks for Windows Server Backup? Can I disable those disks somehow, so Windows Server Backup wouldnt see those disks twice? Or can I somehow tell Windows
that its seeing my disks twice, and there is actually only one disk instead of two.
Greetings,
Niko Turunen

Hi,
How did you configure the disks by using multipath? The ASR component is a system-critical component that is reported by the ASR writer. Every fixed disk on the computer is exposed as a component in ASR. During backup, the requester should include all fixed
disks.

Error using Window Server Backup on 2012R2 Hyper-V to network share

Hi
I have a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V server. It runs a Windows 2012 R2 VM (called
server-1).
I want to backup the VM to a network location (\\network-1\server-1_backup$). To do this, I installed Windows Server Backup from the command line and configured a backup to look like this:
C:\Users\admin>wbadmin enable backup
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The scheduled backup settings:
Bare metal recovery : Not Included
System state backup: Not Included
Volumes in backup: (null)
Components in backup: HyperV\server-1
Files excluded: (null)
Advanced settings: VSS Backup Option (FULL)
Location to store backup: \\network-1\server-1_backup$\
Times of day to run backup: 04:00
But when I run this backup manually, I get the following error:
C:\Users\admin>wbadmin start backup
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Do you want to create a backup using the same configuration that you use for
scheduled backups?
[Y] Yes [N] No y
The backup operation to Scheduled backup target is starting.

The odd thing is that if I set this up from a Windows 2012 Server using the GUI to exactly the same network destination, the backup works no problem. It just doesn't work when using Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V configured through a command line.
Any help appreciated,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
I tested this in my lab server 2012R2 , but there's no error .
I would suggest you to create a new share folder on other server then check if the issue persists .
Writer Name: Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer
Writer State: 0

Application Result: 0
Application Message: (null)

   Component Message: Component reports path on network share which cannot be snapshotted. (0x8100010D)"
According to this error , please check if the VM's resource (such as VHD file) was restored on network share .
I also searched the error "ERROR - The shared restore point operation failed with error (0x8100010c)" , but I can not find it within following article :
http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2009/09/16/diagnosing-failures-in-windows-server-backup-part-1-vss-spp-errors.aspx
Any further information please feel free to let us know .

Windows Server Backup won't progress

Hello,
Recently, wbadmin on our Windows2008 std. can’t complete its backup (seems breezed at the 30% ….). I tried to start wbadmin by command line but breezed (at 30%) . I also checked if there are any bad sectors on the volumes. I ran the chkdsk but
no bad sectors. I looked logs at C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup ,but there are no “Critical”, “Warning”,” Error” types logs.
I am taking two volumes backup (D (160Gb) and F(150GB)) from this server. It usually finish it about 6 hours but not now.
Can you please help me ?

Hello Frank,
Last two days, I tested Windows Server Backup from Wizard.
When I chose only one volume (F drive), it was successful.
However, I started three volumes(C: D, F), the backup stopped with error code 2155348001.
Today, I am going to test this procedure below:
- Run regedit.exe and navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SPP"
- Create a new Registry value of type DWORD with name "CreateTimeout"
- Change value to 12000000(2*10*60*1000 = 20 mins) in decimal
I will give you update when backup finishes.
Thank you,

Mount vhdx file from Windows Server Backup 2012

We have a 2012 server with a network share that other servers backup to using Windows Server Backup. To view the files from a windows 2008 r2 backup .vhd file all I have to do is open it in windows explorer and it mounts as a drive and opens. When
I try to do the same with a 2012 backup (.vhdx) it tells me "you don't have permission to mount the file" but if I open disk management I can see the volume, and if I right click on it and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths" and add
a drive letter, then I can browse it. I get the same issue using mount-vhd in powershell.

Hi Adm1nMikeW,
Please try to use disk management --> action --> attach VHD (this way will avoid the error message).
The root cause is the attribute "nodefaultdriveletter" of the backup vhd was not set to "no".
You can try following setps :
1. in cmd prompt type diskpart
2. recognize the problematic volume you want to set via list volume
3. run command select volume "volume number"
4. run command attributes volume clear nodefaultdriveletter
then detach it and reattach the disk again .
Hope this helps

Elton Ji

[Windows Server 2008 R2] [Windows Server Backup] How to remove an old backup set

Hello,
long time ago I made a backup of some files of a server on a network location running manually a command like this one:
"wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\Server1\Backup\MyServer\wbadmin_Effe -include:F: -user:DOMAIN\myself -password:******** -quiet"
Now this network location is no more available because that machine is definitely broken.
I have no problems to run and create backups on a local drive or on other network locations.
My only problem is that now, in the main window of Windows Server Backup, when i click "View details" under "All Backups", I can still see that backup as the oldest available... that's a bit annoying.
It appears also if I run the command "wbadmin GET VERSIONS".
Does anybody know how can I remove this backup version set from my server?
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,
The command will remove all backups existed on your server. If you cannot get Shadow Copy ID and there are "good" backups existed on you server, you could not remove the old backup versions.
How to completely delete the backup file from network share and clean up the backup version for the server?

Scenario #1
The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named
DailyFolder1Backup with the start time of 23:00.
This task will run DAILY with the HIGHESTprivileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup
g:\folder1 to target volume
F:.
SCHTASKS /Create /SC DAILY /TN
DailyFolder1Backup /RL HIGHEST /ST 23:00/TR
"wbadmin start backup –backupTarget:F: -include:g\folder1
-vsscopy -quiet"
Scenario #2
The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named
DailyFolder2Backup with the start time of 24:00.
This task will run DAILY with the HIGHESTprivileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup
h:\folder2 to target volume
F:.
SCHTASKS /Create /SC DAILY /TN
DailyFolder2Backup/RL HIGHEST /ST 24:00/TR
"wbadmin start backup –backupTarget:F: -include:h:\folder2
-vsscopy -quiet"

Can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not set up as a virtual disk?

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find any definitive information after having done many, many searches. Short question is - can Windows Server Backup spread a single backup job across multiple disks if they are not in a storage
pool or some other RAID/JBOD structure?
Background:
I'm running Server 2012 Essentials with all Windows Updates installed. I have been backing up approx 2.8TB of data (Bare Metal Recovery, C:, S: (shared folders), and system reserved) for the past year+ onto a storage pool made up of two-2TB external
USB drives. Backup is slow (takes approx 1.5 days to complete), but generally works. Not surprisingly I was constantly getting capacity low messages so I decided to increase my backup storage pool by adding a 3TB drive and another spare 750GB drive
for a total of 7.75TB. Instead of having four separate external USB enclosures, I bot a 4-bay enclosure - Startech.com model #S3540BU33E to simplify this (or so I thought!).
The first problem I had was adding the two new drives to the existing storage pool. I think that is because the Startech uses a JMicron USB controller that reports identical uniqueid's for all drives so only one shows up in the GUI interface for creating storage
pools. After doing research on this, I set up a new storage pool and virtual disk using all four drives via Powershell and thought I was good. However, when the backup ran, it failed after filling the first drive, saying there was no remaining capacity. In
reality there were three remaining empty drives and there storage pool reported almost 5TB of avail capacity. I assumed this was due to the identical uniqueid issue so I decided to try a different tactic.
Instead of using a storage pool that combines all four disks into one virtual disk, I just added each of them to Windows Server Backup as individual drives thinking it would manage them collectively. I.e., when a drive filled up during a particular backup,
it would just start using the next drive and so on. Apparently this was a foolish assumption because the backup failed again as soon as the first disk filled up.
So now I don't know if this is still an issue with the identical uniqueid's or if Server Backup actually can't spread a single backup across multiple individual drives that aren't in a pool or other virtual disk implementation. Hence, my original question.
My guess is that it does *not* spread them across individual disks, but I just wanted to get confirmation.
Thanks

Mandy,
Thank you for following up on my question.
Unfortunately the article you referenced doesn't address what I am trying to accomplish.
The article focuses on saving the same backup job to multiple disks and rotating the disks between on and offsite for enhanced protection. However, it still requires that an individual backup job fits on a single disk.
What I am trying to determine is if a single backup job can span across more than one physical disk (during the backup process) without those physical disks being in some type of virtual disk implementation (e.g., storage pool, RAID, etc.).
Thanks,
Gerry

Server 2008 R2 Windows Server Backup. "Error in backup of Hyper-V.vhd during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.

Hello,
We are currently using Windows Server Backup to backup three Hyper-V guests running on a Windows 2008 R2 host. Two guests are running Server 2008 R2 and one is running Windows 7. I have the backups going to a dedicated external disk drive.
WSB backs up the two 2008 R2 Hyper-V guests just fine. However, when attempting to backup the Windows 7 Hyper-V guest, I receive the following error:
Error in backup of <Windows 7.vhd> during read: Error [0x80070001] Incorrect function.
I ran a "vssadmin list writers" and all the VSS writers showed "Stable" with no errors. I have plenty of space on the external drive as well. I've read this article:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/973455?wa=wsignin1.0#workaroundissue12 except that doesn't seem to be what I'm experiencing here.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,
As the other 2 guests could be backed up correctly, the issue should not be the Windows Server Backup feature.
First please refer to this article:
Backing Up and Restoring Virtual Machines
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405549(v=vs.85).aspx
Please check if all following requirements are met. Specifically please check if Integration Service is installed.
Backup (volume snapshot) Integration Service is installed and running in the child VM. The service name is "Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor".
Windows 2000: Backup Integration Service is not supported.
The child VM must be in the running state.
The Snapshot File Location for the VM is set to be the same volume in the host operating system as the VHD files for the VM.
All volumes in the child VM are basic disks and there are no dynamic disks.
All disks in the child VM must use a file system that supports snapshots (for example, NTFS).

Lost Windows Server Backup, historical backups. Backup seems to have restarted from a fresh full backup. How can I get to those old backups?

Scenario with very bad outlook:
Friday-16th, early AM. Win2008 SBS Server crashes due to RAID5 issues, bad disk. Found that server was NOT configured with hot spare and for some reason the controller had marked a 2nd disk bad..which turned out not to be the case.
Had a single external USB backup drive being fed by Windows Server Backup. Obtained support from vendor and was able to regain the RAID and start the server.
Soon became apparent that Exchange was having serious issues - edb was corrupt and not mountable. Restore edb from backup, repaired and was eventually able to mount. Then found it had Hub Transport issues. Researching that when it was noticed
NTFS events being logged at a high rate. Restarted system to repair the filesystem, which was successful.
After the FS repair, found the Exchange edb, new edb I had created to migrate mailboxes to, and public edb all 0k in size.
Restored the edb again and commenced repair, which eventually read Clean Shutdown again...but could not get it to mount. Exchange was having various issues seemingly with AD.
Changed backup time to avoid a backup that day, as did not want to back up while RAID was rebuilding - had inserted a replacement for the failed drive.
Monday/19th, was advised that much of the data was corrupt. This is an accounting firm and relies heavily on their data, especially since the last time their ext USB was rotated was Nov6 2013. They now have no year end backup, nor a backup from
post tax season 2014.
Is it possible to recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup/restart?
Oh, and all Shadow Copies for the impacted volume/drive are gone.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please use the “Wbadmin get versions” command to check the backup versions on the server. If there is only latest shadow copy, you may not recover any of the historical backups prior to the full backup.

[Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}

Wbadmin enable backup
