Windows Server Backup 2008 - Recovery a backup of a server to different server / hardware?

Is there a way to restore a backup of a server to different box? I'm using Windows Server 2008.

Hello,
     I was about to ask the same question about restoring a dc in a different hardware.
     A question arises in my mind: Is there no need any longer for third-party software (Acronis...) to restore a dc in a different hardware?.
    I am reading also about the backup and restore process in Exchange 2007 and it looks like the same thing, that it is not necessary any third-party tool to fully recover a Exchange machine, which is simply great, if I understand this rightly.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, trying to backup system image using SCDPM 2010 RTM.Most of the server are getting healthy backups except for this one server which is giving error:

2. Stop and re-add protection.
3. I have researched the error, some results suggest that some bad sectors might exist, however, when I run the command, it forces me to schedule the command on next boot. when I reboot, it loads windows after that gives a message "Cannot open the volume
for direct access"
How to end this loop? please help. Thanks for considering my question ...

Hello Ebttikar,
Please try clean boot then test how the issue goes. Following are the detailed steps about clean boot:
Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER to start the System Configuration Utility.
On the General tab, click Selective Startup, and then click to clear the Load startup items check box. (The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.)
On the Services tab, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.
Click OK, Choose Don’t show this message again and then click Restart.
Please check if RDP session issue is still the same.
Please let me know the result.
Best regards,
Sophia Sun

Backed up files partially disappear after restore (Windows Server 2008 R2 - Windows Server Backup)

Dear all,
I am experiencing a problem with "Windows Server 2008 R2", using Windows Server Backup.
Here's my setup:
Server: RAID 5 Disk setup
Backup:
By using Windows Server Backup (within Windows Server 2008 R2), C: and D: were fully backed up, with "System State" and "Baremetal Recovery" options selected. Backup went okay without any errors.
Restore:
By using Windows Recovery Environment (booted from Windows Server DVD), C: and D: were fully restored to the original partitions with "System Recovery" option found within Windows RE (without re-formatting partitions during restore). Restore
went OK without any errors. Rebooted, and system has been running fine.
Problem:
After the restore, the system itself seems running OK; no BSOD, no crash, no visible errors.
However, our client insisted some files (around 6 to 7) which are related to the propriety software has "disappeared" right after System Recovery.
Question:
Since Windows Server Backup is using "Volume Shadow Copy" technology which enables "live backup" of the running system, is it possible that some files will disappear (=restore error) after
System Recovery?
I cannot really find any errors or warnings related to Windows Server Backup in the event log, through. No Windows-backup errors. No VSS errors, too.
Do anybody have experienced this kind of problem in the past? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your reply, Ms. Mandy.
To make things clear, let me explain to you briefly:
1. The "missing data" was backed up with "full system backup".
2. After a system restore from the above backup image, as you mentioned, partitions has been overwritten with the partions' backup data in the Backup Data Set taken by Windows Server Backup. No error with backup. No error after restore, and reboot - system
has been running fine.
3. Although there was a report that the affected files(about 7 java exectables) were missing after the above restore operation, other aspect of system was running fine at the time of the report.
4. I have checked the original backup data set - and voila, there ARE files which seems to gone after restore.
5. When I used Windows Server Backup "on" Windows Server 2008 R2 normal environment (= NOT Recovery environment from DVD) and selectd ONLY these affected files to restore, these files could be RESTORED successfully, without any errors. SO... data
was property backed up.
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions so files created after the backup point will be missing.
I understand, and this is not the case this time, because the affected files are already present in the backup data set (= I have mounted the backup data as VHD, and I could clearly see them present in the mounted VHD file)
Plus, these files are completely restoreable via "selective file restore" in Windows Server Backup.
Things I want to know/confirm:
> The recovery will overwrite the partitions
If I understand this correctly, in case that the files in question are already present in the backup data set, these files SHOULD be restored after full system restore, right? (If these files could not be restored, Windows Server Backup SHOULD show some errors.)
What do you think, Ms. Mandy? :)

Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup failing with error - 0x8004231F

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Web Edition. Everything was working fine until recently. I tried checking for the log files, but I see that there are no log files that are created now in the location C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup. The only files that
are being created recently are of the type mentioned below.
Wbadmin.1.etl
WbadminUI.0.etl
etc.
I tried removing the old backup and starting a new backup. But, even now it is failing with the same error.
When running the backup from the PowerShell, the output is as below.

Regards, Triyambak

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

Windows Server 2008 backups failing

I have a Windows Server 2008, fully patched that backups recently started to fail and now, we are unable to open the Windows Server Backup. Also unable to open Disk Management or any other applications requiring Virtual Disk.
Attempts to start VDS from service or command line result in the following errors:
1:
A timeout was reached (180000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Virtual Disk service to connect.
2:
The Virtual Disk service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I added the debuglog to registry and the $vds$.log only records the following:
(PID:8988,TID:10060,17:32:43) ERROR: CVdsLoader::LoadService, 3, hr=8007041D
I have also increased the timeout dramatically to no avail.
SFC /scannow returns:
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.
Nothing requiring Virtual Disk Service will operate making backups and imaging impossible.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
As SFC could find some issues (but fail to fix), please try to DISM could help as well:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Fix Windows corruption errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool

Also though the following hotfix is not specific for this error, it helps updating VDS components. Please try it and see if issue persists after installing it.

0xC0380013 error while restoring Windows Server 2008 R2 backup

When I start procedure of restoring (using WinRE) i receive following error:
0xC0380013 "There is not enough usable space for this operation".
What is the reason of this error. How should I proceed to recover dynamic disk to virtual machine?

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).

Backup Error : The Data Is Invalid Windows Server 2008 R2

Hello,
I have a Problem when I try to make Backups to Partition C in Windows Server 2008 R2:
Error The Data is Invalid.
Obs: I can make backups for System Reserved Partition .
I had the same problem 2 months ago (the data is invalid), Then I folowed this the advice to delete "Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary
ASP.NET Files" and worked for me , from this post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/89052b85-9c9b-479f-ab76-a20da3cc4696
Now I have the same problem and I delete the
Temporary ASP.NET Files , but it is not working , I received the same error on backup:
"The backup operation that started at '‎2012‎-‎09‎-‎20T07:13:26.024163900Z' has failed with following error code '2147942413'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved."
When I try vssadmin list writers, Everything is ok , "No error" .
I tried to run :
net stop "System Event Notification Service"
net stop "COM+ Event System"
net stop "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider"
net stop "Volume Shadow Copy"
cd /d %windir%\system32
net stop vss
net stop swprv
regsvr32 /s ole32.dll
regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 /s vss_ps.dll
vssvc /register
regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll

net start "System Event Notification Service"
net start "COM+ Event System"
net start "Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider"
net start "Volume Shadow Copy"
But is not Working
Any Advice ?
Thank's

Hello Lucian,
the issue may be caused by an invalid entry inside the following registry sub tree.
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
Please open the registry editor with regedit.
Expand and local to the subtree, check if there is an entry that has a ".bak" value appended. If so, this may be cause the failure when trying to resolve the SID of the writer.
Please backup the registry key first, and then delete that entry with the extra ".bak" and reboot the server then test the backup
Run the command "vssadmin list writers" and make sure all the writers are stable with no errors
Please look for errors in application event logs after you initiate backup on the server
Sincerely, Asifkhan -- Please mark my post helpful if it was really helpful to you.

Backup Problem in Windows Server 2008 R2 std SP1

I have taken backup of Windows Server R2 std SP1 from Server Manager it is around 16gb .vhd file from Server Computer
When I am restoring in other Server PC of Windows server R2 std sp1 from Server Manager it is giving message backup not found.
Why this message is coming? I cant restore it?

Hi,
If you restore a Windows Server 2008 R2 to a new hardware, you need to perform a Bare Metal Restore and the two physical computer must have the same make, model, and configuration (identical hardware).
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

What is the easiest way to replicate(backup) a VM whose host is Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V Manager and I have a Domain Controller as VM (which is running Server 2012 R2) and I would like to enable replicationfor this VM(I want to back up the Domain Controlloer).
Could you please tell me the easiest way of doing this?
Thanks,
Radu

Hi, Radu,
From my perspective, in this case the backup/replication solution should:
Perform image-level backup, as it’s always preferable to use such method for backing up/replicating virtual machines.
Guarantee application consistency. That’s being said, not only should it backup VMs running special application in consistent (VSS-aware) mode, but also it should apply
application-specific settings to prepare each application to perform
VSS-aware restore on the next VM startup.
Support 2012 R2 platform.
We’re using Veeam for the same purposes, as it does have abovementioned functionality. Though, you can stick to whatever solution that can boast with the listed options.
Kind regards, Leonardo.

Windows Server 2008 R2 System State Backup fails "the parameter is incorrect"

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as I've found in a few other threads.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us/windowsbackup/thread/C633B2E6-1161-4146-BC09-C2712231F0EE
and
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsbackup/thread/0b0f2d9c-e3b1-4f85-a6d2-2e15e5a15bc1
I've tried running the vshadow.exe -wm2 > out.txt command and searching the output for invalid paths, but I can't seem to find any paths that looks incorrect.
I've also done a registry search under HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services for the / character and didn't come up with any in any paths either.
The server is a pretty new install. DC, DNS, DHCP, File and Print services. It has been running in production for about a week for a small business. Their previous server desperately needed changing over, so it got pushed in fairly quick. I never assumed
I would have had trouble with the system state backing up!. It would be nice to get it working so I can sleep at night :). The old DC is still running, so all is not lost in a failure, but still... I guess also once I've demoted the old DC, I can restore AD
just by restoring the entire system image (Don't have to worry about USN sync if only single DC), but I would still like a system state backup.
Thanks, Ryan

Hi,
Try to apply the following hotfix.
System state backup error in Windows Server 2008, in Windows Vista, in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2: "Enumeration of the files failed"
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980794
You may have to restart the computer after you apply this hotfix.

Restore bkf Backup Files on Tape with Windows Server 2008 R2

We have to migrate an application from a legacy server (OS Windows Server 2003) to a new server (OS Windows Server 2008 R2).
Due to legal obligations we have to keep backups for 10 years. Until now NTBACKUP was used to store the data on tape.
We must be able to restore data from tapes of the last 10 years for audit purposes.
We installed Update für Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB974674) containing NTBackup-RestoreUtility on the new server.
It seems that this tool is not able to restore from tapes.
How can we fullfil the legal requirements to restore backuped data from tape on Windows Server 8 R2 (and in future with Windows Server 2012 R2)?
