Shadow Copies - 24 hour delay in accessing Previous Versions

Hi all,

I've 'inherited' a server environment and there's a strange issue occurring. We have Shadow Copies running on Windows Server 2016 as follows:

Now, the issue occurs when I attempt to recover a previous version from the D:\ drive. For example, there is a folder called 'Public' within the D:\ drive and when I attempt to restore a previous version, I only get the following option (this screenshot was taken at 10:41am today):

As you can see, the only available versions are from over 24 hours ago. We do currently have 50 shares created from the D:\ drive and it's happening with all of them, whether or not we try and restore from the share or from the actual location.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have successfully run a System State backup via Windows backup.

All witers show to be stable with no erros.

The backup client has been deactivated and reactivated

I have recycled the Volume Shadow Copy service and rebooted the server, no success.

I have gone through the writeoutput file, and do not see anything in regards to invalid syntax, or pathes.

I checked the registry, as well as, and modified a registry key to read as follows:

 \SystemRoot\system32\drivers\megasr1.sys

The original string was as follows:

\system32\drivers\megasr1.sys

Rebooted the server, no change.

Hello Everyone, 

Thank you for helping out first of all, for few simple questions I have. 

I have a server that I am going to Backup and it is Windows Server 2008 R2 Data Centre. Yet I have used Windows Backup role at the past, which I worked on University coursework. 

However, I need to make sure if it's safe enough andguaranteed to use it in commercial environment. Please note, the Server must be kept offline, otherwise it will corrupt the company's network due to a miss-configuration. 

Anyway, I am open hearing your feedback and what other backup solution you could suggest. 

Many thanks!

Incremental and bare-metal client backup and restore after Essentials 2016?

What's the procedure going forward for performing client backup and restore?

This is available now in Server 2016 Essentials and Server by installing the essentials role.  This is no longer available in Server 2019. 

How do I go about doing this?

To be clear, I don't mean a snapshot full backup, so Windows 7 image backup isn't the answer to the question.

It's more like: how do you do efficient, automated, incremental backups on say a dozen clients in a way that you can bare-metal restore those clients?

I have tried that and course it didn’t work. I tried to uninstall and install again WSB and it didn’t work, also I have search to forums and I didn’t find anything concrete.
Does anybody have any idea?

WinSXS Folder on Windows Server 2008 (aka Vista Server)

I have a Windows Server 2008, 64-bit, under management. The system writer component has disappeared after installing a handful of updates. My working conclusion is that it is because the C:\windows\winsxs folder has more than 1,000 items in it. In this case, 22,000. In later versions of Windows, I could improve this situation by using DISM, but I'm not finding good guidance for Windows 2008.

Hello,

I'm creating a script to automatize my Wsus offline. I created a backup from the source server and I want to restore it on the destination server using powershell Server backup cmdlets.

Here is what I've done so far:

on the source server:

wsus is on E:\Wsuscontent
I backup to a USB drive I:\

On the destination server:

Wsus is on e:\wsuscontent
Backup is on \\mynas\backup

To restore I use: 

$BackupLocation = New-WBBackupTarget -NetworkPath "\\mynas\backup"
$Backups = Get-WBBackupSet -BackupTarget $BackupLocation -MachineName SourceServer
Start-WBFileRecovery -BackupSet $Backups -NoRestoreAcl -Option SkipIfExists -SourcePath "E:\wsuscontent" -TargetPath "E:\" -Force

  And I get the following error: "Start-WBFileRecoverry: The specified backup storage location is invalid."

any idea ?

Regards,

Jon

Windows Server back up by c#/ badmin batch solution

Hi there,

I'm trying to program a small c# application that helps me set up my daily backups for my Windows Server 2016. I have to use this, as I want to do multiple backups per day aswell as different drives (built in hdd aswell as swappable usb drives) in combination with shutdowns depending on the weekday + daytime (aswell as unlocking my encrypted drives).

My program works fine but I'd like to have some confirmation from you whether or not my backup commands are fine.

Right now I use the Windows Server backup GUI for my daily HDD backup. My backup disappears upon setting up the sheduled backup. It's a nice feature, but I don't really depend on hiding my HDD, I'd be fine with havinig it visible.

For my external drives I use the following wbadmin command:
"wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:M: -include:C:,I: -allCritical -systemState -quiet"

M: is my external backup device and the system only has partition C and I.

Now I would like to stop the GUI backup and 'transfer' it to my c# program to take over. I'm a little bit confused about the commands tho. 
Am I missing anything with "wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:M: -include:C:,I: -allCritical -systemState -quiet" in comparising with GUI bare metal backup? What happens when my external drives with wbadmin command are full? Does incremental backup works aswell with the wbadmin command?

Thanks a lot.

"System Restore" (Not System Backup) on Windows Server 2012R2

Dear Experts,

We have 2012R2 Hyper-V hosts on which we have more than 100 VMs running in any given point in time. We install updates every month and update the hardware drivers and reboot the host (Physical system) Yesterday we updated the HBA drivers and after a reboot the system BSOD. We were not able to start the host machine in any mode (Safe Mode, LKGC...etc) 

Everyone knows that we do not have "System Restore" like in Windows client OSs in Windows Servers OS. Is it possible to "Manually Enable System Restore on Windows Server OS"? so that the situation of restoring "System State" will not arise?

Server 2012 Restore from System Image Recovery has odd message before shutting me out

I have a Windows 2012 R2 server with a bad hard drive.  I make backups every night, so i am not afraid of losing data. 

Steps I have taken:

I booted into the OS Media and chose "Repair your computer"-> "Troubleshoot"->"Windows System image recovery". 

I selected the latest system image backup,

Installed the correct drivers Dell perc s110 so I could see the hard drive. 

Chose Format and Repartition disks. 

Chose only restore System Drive only

Accepted the options and hit next

Fairly quickly I'm told that my backup is not for a Vista system.  makes no sense.  I booted up using my Dell Windows 2012 R2 x64 DVD. 

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thank you, 

Curt Davenport

Windows Server 2012 - code '0x80780102' (The system writer is not found in the backup.)

I'm having an issue backing up. The system writer is not available and I've tried all the previous solutions such as (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009272) as well as others on here, setting the permissions etc. but the system writer never appears under 'vssadmin list writers'

It seems this issue has been around for many years on previous version. Is there a solution? I've spent days on this so far.

Many thanks,

Geoff

I tried backing up to shared folder in another network drive, I have set sharing permissions and security permissions for Administrators and Everyone to Full Control. This are the procedures I did for testing.

1.Schedule a windows backup, successful

2.Backup once based on schedule, successful

3.Backup once again based on schedule, unsuccessful

4. Remove backup contents in WindowsImageBackup folder at the other network drive, tried backing up ,successful

Does it see the date before it backs up, or do I have to delete the existing backup before I perform a backup?

I have a Server 2016 DPM server.  Recently suffered a power failure and had to be restarted.  Backups have stopped.  I installed Rollup 2 on the server.  From the DPM console, I can not install new targets on the target servers to be backed up.  I get an error 311

I then tried to install the DPM manually on a targeted server.  In the file explorer, I can see the DPM server, but I can not open it.  I can not browse to the DPM Agents directory.

The five target servers can not browse the DPM server.  The server is seen in the file explorer, but when I try to open and browse the DPM server I get a 0x80070035 error - Network Path Not Found.

Schedule Backup as administrator error "You must be a member of the local Administrators or Backup Operators groups to schedule a backup."

Logged in as administrator
Going through Administrative Tools -> Windows Server Backup -> Backup Schedule
Setting up a new remote backup on a different server (requiring different login credentials to save to that location if it matters)

Everything goes through until I hit Finish on the Confirmation page, then after a few moments it gives me this:

Error:
"You must be a member of the local Administrators or Backup Operators groups to schedule a backup."

It does let me run the Backup Once through Windows Server Backup to the same location, but not through Backup Schedule.

Windows Server 2003 -activation required after recovery

August 29, 2018, 9:26 am

Running an old Server 2003. ( I know its not advised, but we are)

So hard disk completely fails over the weekend and we restore everything from backups fine.  One slight thing is that reactivation is required (because added a tape drive and a LAN card. 

So activation doesn't work over the internet - server not there.  Phone up and of course I'm told its not supported any longer.

I saw on another forum the for another product that it could be possible that the server address is different, if you modify hosts file or DNS its possible to activate.

I was hoping that someone might know the server address used for activation that might have legacy ones.  I am really not sure how it works though so maybe this is not possible.

Any other suggestions would be more than welcome otherwise I will have to resort to a crack / unlicensed product key (or upgrade) aren't I?
