WbAdmin Delete Backup command not supported in 8.1 Pro x64

Hello
I've searched for how to delete specific backups that I've created using the elevated Power Shell command "wbAdmin start backup -backupTarget:E: -include:C: -allCritical -quiet" but I've run into a roadblock.
The problem is that none
of the "wbadmin delete xxx" commands are actually supported in Win8.1 Pro 64-bit (6.3, Build 9600). If I type "wbadmin delete /?", I get:
---- Commands Supported ----
DELETE CATALOG                     -- Deletes the backup catalog.
DELETE SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP  -- Deletes one or more system state backups.
DELETE BACKUP                       -- Deletes one or more backups.
However, when I try to use ANY delete command (for example, to delete a specific backup version that was identified using "Wbadmin get versions"), I get this error:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wbadmin delete backup -version:06/26/2014-07:29
wbadmin 1.0 - Backup command-line tool
(C) Copyright 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Warning:  The DELETE BACKUP command is not supported in this version of Windows.
The operation ended before completion.
The same thing happens if I use -deleteOldest, with or without the -backupTarget switch.
Does anyone know why the Delete command is not available on 8.1? Is there a patch, workaround or alternate method of deleting specific backup images?

Yolanda, thank you for confirming the issue and for pointing me to a solution. I really appreciate it!
I have looked at the cmdlet reference page tried to use the commands but it appears that they do not work on my system. For example:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> remove-wbcatalog
remove-wbcatalog : The term 'remove-wbcatalog' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At line:1 char:1
+ remove-wbcatalog
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (remove-wbcatalog:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
Also, if I type the help command listed on the reference page, get-help -module windowsserverbackup, the only reponse is a blank command prompt. Do I need to install the windowsserverbackup functionality separately? It does not seem
to be built-in.

  • QOS: egress police command not supported in non-leaf classes

    Hello,
    I have issue with egress policers on EFP (Service instance).
    When configure two egress policers on EFPs (on one physical interface), I received a message:

    Platform supports three level hierarchy - Port, VLAN and Class.
    Class is the leaf level.
    Queuing is done only at the leaf level.
    You need to attach your policy to the port level policy so that it can be a two level policy.
    Three Level Class-default Policy Example:
    policy-map leaf
    class class-default
    queue-limit xxxxx bytes
    policy-map logical
    class class-default
    service-policy leaf
    policy-map root
    class class-default
    service-policy logical
    Invalid Queue-Limit Policy Configuration Example:
    This case "class-default" is being considered as the port level.
    Following QOS policy configuration failed because the configuration check assumes user is trying to apply the queue-limit at the vlan level which is not supported.
    policy-map child-1
    class class-default
      queue-limit 256 packets
    policy-map VLAN-OUT
    class class-default       <<< Class default is being assumed at the port level , Child policy at the second level

  • Does "aaa accounting commands" not support radius?

    When I issue this command:
    aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group myradiusgroup
    I get this error: %AAAA-4-SERVNOTACPLUS: The server-group "myradiusgroup" is not a tacacs+ server group. Please define "myradiusgroup" as a tacacs+ server group.
    No where in the documentation could I find anything saying the "commmands" accounting type is only available to tacacs+. Does aaa not support this accounting type for radius?

    Hi Red,
    The Cisco implementation of RADIUS does not support command accounting. So that's the reason you are getting that error. Please use TACACS if you want to use this.

  • SQLPLUS HOST Command Not Supported

    Hi,
    I am facing strange problem. I have lots of scripts where I have used the HOST command from within SQLPLUS.
    Now, on Windows Server 3000 Standard Edition, Version 5.2, I find that both HOST and its equivalent $, both are not supported when used with SQLPLUS on Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition.
    Please HELP, and suggest some alternative.
    Prashant

    There is no such thing as Windows Server 3000. The latest product appears to be Windows Server 2008.
    I'm not sure what the version of the Oracle database has to do with it. This is about SQL*Plus and you still haven't told us what version of that you are using. For example:
    SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Sat Dec 6 15:56:12 2008

    Dell confirms it's an OS issue after troubleshooting with me for a couple of hours (wow)
    Is there a way to look at this EVM file _without_ installing the Windows Driver Kit??

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Windows Vista Forum.
    Upon your description, I see that you have done a lot of research and tests. Unfortunately, none of these troubleshooting works.
    Based on my experience, this issue related to "failed to play test tone" can be related to several reasons. It also includes hardware defect. I am confusing why Dell confirms that the issue is related to Operating System. Could you let me know what operation Dell had troubleshot with you?
    Meanwhile, here I just provide more troubleshooting except what you performed. If it doesn't work, I may also need to recommend that you contact Dell for support.
    1. Microsoft has released a Hotfix to troubleshoot related to "Failed to play test tone".
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930883
    2. Make sure that these services are started.
    Windows Audio
    Multimedia Class Scheduler
    Remote Procedure Call
    Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
    3. I noticed that this issue occurred not long ago, I may need to suggest that you perform a System Restore to the previous restore point when the computer without any problem.
    System Restore
    ==============
    1)     Please click on Start and choose All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Windows Backup.
    2)     Click Restore on the left pane.
    3)     Choose Basic Restore.
    4)     Follow the wizard and click Next.
    5)     If you would like to restore everything in the backup, we can check the box “Restore everything in this backup” on the top of the window.
    6)     We can also browse and choose certain files and folders to restore. Then, click Next.
    7)     Then choose the folder to save the recovered files and click Next.
    8)     When we see a “Restore is complete!” message, click Finish.
    Meanwhile, as I know, I'm afraid that there is no other way to look at EVM file except Windows Driver Kit. Maybe there are some third-party software that out of my mind can look at EVM files, you may need to perform more research on Internet.
    Hope this helps. Thanks.

    You can see the link below the requirements for each version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506.aspx
    Did you try to restart the computer and then try installing again?
    There are users that it helps them, it might solve the problem but preventing them expect an error and understand why it happens.
    Sometimes it appears as a result of lack of .NET Framework (check the Microsoft article if you meet the requirements before installation).

  • "Mode not supported" when connecting MacBook Pro to HDTV

    When I connect my MacBook Pro to the SAMSUNG widescreen HDTV and hit "Detect Displays", it does detect it as VGA Display and it gives me a bunch of options for resolutions and refresh rates, but there was no "Options" tab where I could check or uncheck "Overscan" and even keeping the refresh rate at 60 Hz, and even trying mirrored and non-mirrored screens, nothing worked. It still said "Mode not supported". I used a dual-link DVI to YPbPr cable which I just bought and my friend can connect his MacBook Pro to his HDTV with the same cable, but it doesn't seem to work for me. What's wrong?

  • IPhone5 rejects does not support my new MacBook Pro

    My new MacBook Pro on 10.8.4 established bluetooth contact with my iPhone5, but the phone said it does not support my MacBook Pro. Why?

    Dear snozdop
    After 38 years with computers and programming I suddenly realize that my thoughts are not functioning in the rational way they used to behave. Things you have done as a regular habit for many years could suddenly be forgotten…
    Thank you for advising me and putting me back on the track that I should have been on from the beginning this rainy early morning way up north of the arctic circle.
    It also remindes me of a rule I made myself many years ago when programming: Some times it is wiser to put away the computer for a while and then in time the answers to problems will come.
    Thank you again for spending time advising me of the obvious solution.

  • OS X Mountain Lion is not supported on my MacBook Pro

    My MacBook Pro is not supported by OS X Mountain Lion, but General Requirements are satisfied in my machine. So, I can't download OS X Mountain Lion from AppStore, but I want to buy it and install it on my MacBook Pro. How can I get it?

    I have 2 Apple Macs, a Mac book purchased 2007 and a Mac pro G5 build year 2006 both running Leopard last year upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Due to various reasons I didn't get organised to upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) until early July but I noticed the next version was about to be released and I could upgrade from v10.6 (Snow Leopard) to v10.8 (Mountain Lion) so ok I can skip Lion.
    I now find Mountain Lion will not run on either of my computers Apple tech support said sorry the architecture was changed around 2008 (no publicity about that) but I could upgrade to v10.7 (Lion) and still get some improvement.
    My problem is could not find where to purchase Lion which is only available as a download, it had been replaced by Mountain Lion. When I Contacted Apple sales they informed me that lion is no longer available, advised me upgrade my computers!!
    why can't I get Lion it was until mid July ?
    Older Software released prior to Jan 1,1998 in the US and worldwide is available

  • "Delete All Backups" command not working...

    I just started using Time Machine for the first time about a month ago with my new MacBook Pro. Recently, it started notifying me that it was out of space and automatically deleting the oldest backups, which I thought was odd, because my external Time Machine backup partition is 500GB and my startup disk only had 150GB of data (on a 260GB partition). Well, after checking the backups I quickly found the problem. I have three partitions on my internal drive, and Time Machine was backing them all up (I had thought Time Machine would only back up my startup disk). So I added the other two partitions to the "disks to Exclude list". That part worked and my new backups only include my startup drive. But I want to get rid of the all the backups of my other partitions, so I opened up Time Machine and tried to manually delete their backups, but it's not working.
    I've read that you can select the volumes/folders and choose the "Delete all backups of ..." option to remove them. I also read that it should take some time to complete this. But it's been over 24 hours and still it hasn't removed any of the backups I want to get rid of. And there seems to be no activity on the Time Machine drive. So what gives? Why isn't Time Machine honoring my request to delete all backups of these partitions/folders? I've repeated the process a few times, and each time the authentication dialog appears and my password is accepted, so everything looks like it should work, but it hasn't.
    My first thought was that maybe Time Machine won't delete the backup of a folder/partition that it's already excluding. So I turned off automatic Time Machine backups, and removed the two partition volumes from my exclude list and then tried again to delete all their backups. It's been a few hours since then, and still nothing is deleting. How long should it take? And is there some trick to manually deleting the backups outside of Time Machine that I could try?
    I guess if nothing else I could try and reformat the Time Machine backup disk and start over, but I shouldn't have to right? This is really puzzling...

    daehl wrote:
    SOLVED!
    Yes, It appears that Time Machine CANNOT delete files that are locked for some reason.
    that's not true. it's perfectly capable of doing that.
    Originally I assumed that since I could not delete a file directly from within the Time Machine volume's "Backups.backupdb" subfolders, that I would not be able to unlock it. But you can! I simply located the files in the backup, chose Get Info on them and un-checked their "Locked" checkbox.
    something is really wrong with your backups. you should not even be able to unlock any locked files in TM backups as they should be all protected by hidden ACLs to prevent people from messing with them from finder.
    And the lock status change took effect! Then went back to Time Machine and chose "Delete All Backups of..." and selected the volume in that backup, and they instantly disappeared!!!
    That's pretty strong empirical proof that Time Machine has a problem with locked files.
    no, it's a strong evidence that your TM backups are messed up.
    I have repeated it with about a dozen various files that were locked and all behaved the exact same way. So I think this is pretty strong evidence to a "bug" in Time Machine!

  • FTP server: PORT command not supported??

    Hi,
    In a nutshell - we are trying to set up PASV -- PORT connection between a Tiger server (10.4.11) and another system (say it's a windows FTP server). Issuing a PORT command to a Tiger FTP server fails with this error:
    -> PORT 192,168,11,3,199,158
    <- 500 Invalid PORT command
    I have done some research on the web and as far as I can see - this is just a feature that is disabled in Mac OS X ftp server.
    What's strange is that "features" command states that PORT is supported.
    Has anyone seen PORT command work for a Tiger Server ftp daemon?
    Has anyone succeeded enabling this command on a Tiger server?
    Can you recommend another FTP server that works well on a Tiger server?
    Thanks a million,
    Darius

    Passive (PASV) and Port (PORT) mechanisms are orthagonal.
    If you're working with PORT, then you're almost certainly trying to clear through one or more firewalls. And a firewall can also trigger the Illegal Port Command error for a PORT command.
    (Though I don't see a PORT command in the Mac OS X ftp client. I've checked a couple of clients, and it isn't common to expose it.)
    ftp is a mess. Insecure, difficult to configure, insecure, firewall unfriendly, insecure, and slow. And did I mention insecure?
    (No, I'm not a big fan of ftp.)
    Some reading material:
    http://www.cert.org/techtips/ftp_portattacks.html
    http://www.slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
    http://cr.yp.to/ftp/security.html
    As for a suggestion, chuck ftp and switch to sftp.
