Windows Server Backup - wbengine.exe Crashing

Hi,
When running either a scheduled back or a once off backup, I receive the following error around 30 seconds into the backup:
"The Windows Server Backup service has stopped"
"A fatal error occurred during a Windows Server Backup snap-in (Wbadmin.msc) operation. Error details: The Windows server Backup service has stopped"
In event viewer the following two events were logged:
Faulting application name: wbengine.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce79951
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18247, time stamp: 0x521eaf24
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Fault offset: 0x00000000000c4102
Faulting process id: 0x13e8
Faulting application start time: 0x01cfa9f0936b235a
Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\wbengine.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
Report Id: e99a55c8-15e4-11e4-9ab5-a01d48c77640
The Block Level Backup Engine Service service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).  The following corrective action will be taken in 120000 milliseconds: Restart the service.
I have tired restarting the Block Level Backup Engine Service service, deleting the backup catalogue, removing and re adding Window Server Backup feature. None of these fixed the problem.
I used Debug Diagnostic Tool v2.0 and capturing all instances of wbengine.exe process:

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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?
    Lou H.

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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 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,

  • Windows Server Backup - 0x80042407, seriously?

    I installed server 2008 on a test server with 4x250GB drives in a RAID5 array.
    Windows was installed on a 60GB partition, the rest of the array was left as free space.
    After installing updates and drivers, I decided that I wanted a RAID10 array. 
    This would give me a chance to test the restore functionality of Windows Server Backup.
    I did a full backup with Windows Server Backup to a network location.
    After reconfiguring the RAID array I started the recovery process.
    Here is the issue.  right when the restore should start, I get an error....
    The Windows Complete PC Restore operation failed.
    Error details: The disk that is set as active in BIOS is too small to recover the original system disk.  Replace the disk with a larger one and retry the restore operation. (0x80042407)
    I've tried creating partitions of all sizes and leaving the disk blank, same error.
    I even set the disk as the first boot device in BIOS.
    I've read elsewhere that the disk must be the same size or larger.  That just seems like a bad April fools joke to me.
    Can anyone give me some insight on this issue?

    Hello Jason,
    Thank you for your reply.
    For your further concern, this same or bigger disk size requirement is by design for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista. As a suggestion, we recommend you use a bigger disk for Bare Metal Restore.
    Currently we cannot edit the backup size. However, to fulfill your demand, there is a possible given workaround to restore the backup to smaller disk size.
    Workaround: To recover the System manually using Volume recovery
    By using this workaround, at minimum the OS critical partitions should be of the same size for the volume recovery.
    To recovery the System manually from Windows Recovery Environment (when BMR – Complete PC Restore is not working), user has to recover all the partitions individually and then set the BCD boot entries.
    Please follow the below mentioned steps:
    1)    Get the backup version from the backup target.
    2)    From version, get the size of partitions at the time of backup.
    3)    Recreate the partitions manually with same or more size.
    4)    Perform volume recovery of Individual volumes.
    5)    Set the Active bit for System volume.
    6)    Fix the Boot entries.
    Please replace anything marked under <> with actual values. The yellow marked entries are for sample only. We have to pick the actual values from his system. Also assuming the Boot disk is disk 0 in this case.
    Open Command prompt:
    1)    Do wbadmin get versions –backuptarget:<X:>.
    a.    Select the version id from. E.g. Version identifier: 02/11/2009-09:14
    Note: If the backup target is network share, then run “start /w wpeinit” to enable networking.
    2)    Do wbadmin get items –version:<versioned> -backuptarget:<X:>
    a.    This will give the list of volumes that were backed up and their sizes.
    3)    Using Diskpart, recreate your volumes of the same or more size. Assume that the Boot disk is Disk 0 and is empty. Disk 0 is the boot disk and is the first disk in BIOS boot order.
    If the required partitions are already present then skip the steps below.
    a.    Diskpart.exe
    b.    List disk
    c.    Select disk 0.
    d.    Create par primary  size=<size>        
    e.    Format fs=ntfs quick label=”OS”               (Format the OS partition with NTFS)
    f.     Assign letter=D                 (assign drive letter D: to OS volume)
    g.    Do the same for all the volumes you want to recover.
    h.    Detail disk
    i.      It lists the newly created partitions.
    4)    To recover the volumes one by one,
    a.    Do wbadmin get items –version:<versionid> -backuptarget:<X:> .
    b.    Select the volume id or drive letter for OS volume that was backed up.
    E.g. C: corresponds to the OS volume at backup time.
    c.    Wbadmin start recovery –version:<versionid> -backuptarget:<x:> -itemType:Volume –items:C:  -recoverytarget:D:
    d.    Do the same for all the other volumes. Make sure that minimum space requirement is met.
    e.    Set the active bit of System volume from Diskpart.
    f.     Diskpart.exe ->
                                              i.    Select volume D:
                                             ii.    active
    5)    Reboot the OS and boot back into WinRE as OS is not yet bootable.
    6)    Select Startup-Repair option to fix the BCD boot entries.
    7)    Reboot and OS should be in a bootable state.
    8)    If OS is still not bootable, use bcdedit.exe/bootrec.exe in WinRE to fix the BCD boot options.
    I understand that it will be reasonable to edit the backup so that the bare metal restore process can accept the smaller disk size, our product team are aware of this desired functionality and will definitely keep this in mind as future product development continues.
    Thanks for your understandings.

  • Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?

    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server ?
    I want to use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup for two senarios.
    For Disaster Recovery = Azure Backup to Azure Storage.
    For non-Disacter Recovery = Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk.
    The non-Disaster Recovery mean a file or folder recovery, disk crash recovery, migrate to another servers.
    The non-Disaster Recovery need the speed of recovery just like 10 TB recovery as soon as possible.
    If I can use both Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server,
    Are there any notes for using both ?

    Thanks for posting here!
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage and Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk. These are two different question and can be answered individually.
    Azure Backup to Azure Storage - Possible.
    Windows Server Backup to a on-premises disk - Possible.
    Can I use Azure Backup and Windows Server Backup in a Windows Server? Is a question.

  • Backing up Exchange Server 2013 CU3 with Windows Server Backup Program

    Looking at configuring Windows Server Backup Program to backup Exchange Server 2013 CU3 which is a member a DAG Group using a specific Backup Domain Account.  
    From my understanding from the following technet Article" Using Windows Server Backup to Backup and Restore Exchange Data" at  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876851(v=exchg.150).aspx I cannot use wbadmin.exe has it uses an older
    unsupported version of Powershell.
    My question is what are the minimum AD rights required for an AD account needed to be able to backup/restore Exchange Datastore using Windows Server Backup Program in Windows Server 2012?
    Thanks,
    NIck 

    Hi Sathish,
    After looking at your response, it all make sense except when I look at what exchange right assigned via RBAC.  I understand that the backup service account will require access to the exchange databases
    to be able to backing and restoring them.  After looking at the different roles  
    I'm wondering if I require to assign both the Databases roles for Backing up the databases and the Disaster Recovery Role as well to be able to restore the databases has well as having a mailbox on the exchange
    server for the backup service account?
    Below is explanation of the roles via the ECP
    Database Role
    This role enables administrators to create, manage, mount and dismount mailbox and public folder databases on individual servers.
    Disaster Recovery
    This role enables administrators to restore mailboxes and database availability groups in an organization.
    Thanks,

  • Scripting for Windows Server Backup for Exchange 2010

    Hi,
    I'm new to writing scripts and was wondering if anyone could assist with writing a script to backup an Exchange Server in a windows 2008 r2 environment.  I currently use Windows Server Backup with a full VSS backup to run exchange backups, however,
    each backup overwrites the previous one, and i would really like to have multiple backups.  I would also like  to specify backup log locations, and have emails sent upon successful backups or failed backups.  I am trying to write this powershell
    but cant seem to get things to work.
    Thanks

    You can use PowerShell in conjunction with the Windows Backup command line utility, wbadmin.exe. The code below should help get you started. I have included the date in order to help maintain multiple back ups, but if you do more than one back up per day,
    you will need to change the date format to include the time. You cannot control the built in logging of Windows Backup, but you could collect your own backup information and write that out to a text file. As far as sending emails, look into the Send-MailMessage
    cmdlet including the -Attachment parameter that could send your log file with your mail message. Cheers.
    $Date = Get-Date -Format 'MM-dd-yyyy'
    $Path = "\\server\share\$Date"
    New-Item -Path $Path -ItemType Directory | Out-Null
    Start-Process wbadmin.exe -ArgumentList "start backup -backupTarget:$Path -allCritical -vssFull -quiet"

  • Exchange 2010 and Windows server backup hanging

    I have a new install of Exchange 2010 running on Server 2K8 standard that I am trying to backup using the Windows server backup. For some reason it just sits at Running Consistency Check for Application Exchange.
    I've had it sitting there for about 12 hours with no backup activity taking place. 
    Has anyone seen this or have any idea whats going on?

    Additionally, if you check task manager and see ESEUTIL.EXE running (and taking processor usage) while Backup says "Running consistency check for application Exchange" then it apparently is actually still running.  It would be REALLY nice if
    there was a progress indicator on this step!!!
    A progress indicator would be nice, especially since new log files continue to get generated as the check goes on.
    Here's how I checked my progress:
    Open Resource Monitor (resmon.exe)
    Go to the "Disk" tab
    expand the "Disk Activity" section
    sort by the File column (and expand the column a bit)
    you'll see eseutil.exe hitting files looking like \Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\E0200005A83.log, E0200005A84.log, E0200005A85.log, etc...
    Use calculator to convert those rightmost digits from hex to decimal
    Go into the folder with the log files (ex:\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy6\Exchange_Log\MailBoxDatabase1.log\) and find the most recent log file's hex digits and convert that to decimal
    We had another team at my company build an Exchange 2010 server this past summer and I just found out that it hadn't been backed up
    ever so we're up to 644,000 log files and the server is only moving at 1,312 log files per hour during the consistency check so this could be a 21 day process before the backup even begins.

    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
    Best Regards

  • [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?
