Looking to monitor Shadow Copy daily volume backups

January 17, 2020, 7:10 am

This is weirdly trickier than it seems, or should be.

What I mean by this is:

We enable default Shadow Copy backup settings on server volumes, letting it run at the default 7am and 12pm.  Other backups on the servers are running, of course, but this is a first level convenience for when people accidentally delete a file/folder, and useful against a share getting crypto'd.

But occasionally I have seen it where the Shadow Copy volume setup just stops, for no apparent reason.  Over the years I've been checking in manually to confirm it's running and I can see twice-daily backups, but it would be much better to automate this in some way.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like Event IDs are anything to go with.  System logs mentioning the VSS service (7036) happen all the time.  And while I found a number of good Event IDs in the Application logs (between 2001 and 2006) showing starting and successful completion of Shadow copy instances, these trigger for things like Windows Server Backup, and don't trigger for the 7am/12pm automatic Shadow Copy saves.

I assume there is a way to make this happen with complex scripting, but that's outside my wheelhouse, and through searches I haven't been able to find exactly what I'm looking for.  Optimally something that can run as a scheduled task, check and log what "previous versions" exist, and send an email if it doesn't see any that should exist within the past 24-48 hours.

Does anyone have any ideas?  Or know of a software tool that does explicitly monitor and inform about this?

Windows Backup Not Able to Recover Redirected Folders

Hello,

I have been doing a full system backup on a SBS 2011 using the Windows 2008R2 backup and the backups show complete. Today I went to look for a file in a redirected folder and the restore is blank. Apparently due to permissions. My questions are:

1. Why does Windows backup Show completed and give a false sense of security if it's skipping the redirected folders instead of displaying a directory not accessible error?

2. Does Backup run under LocalSystem, Administrator, the user that created the backup? Who do I have to grant access to user's desktop and Documents so that backup will back them up?

3. If the backups run under SYSTEM and the files have been backed up, how do I recover a file from a user's desktop folder?

VMware quiesced snapshot on Windows VM's generates NTFS events in the event logs

We have been trying to find out why a VMware quiesced snapshot generates event ID's 50, 137 and 150 on all windows 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 servers. The KB below from VMware shows this as an issue but offers no solution and said it is a Microsoft issue. Also the links for solutions from Microsoft are old and outdated.

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2006849

I need to find a fix to allow quiesced backup jobs to run on my VM's

Thank you

Does Server 2012 R2 Windows Backup automatically deletes the oldest backup? What is the default behavior?

January 27, 2020, 1:44 pm

Hi,

I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Native backup.  I have a dedicated drive that stores all backup. Let's call this Drive E.  See picture below on how my backup is setup.

I noticed that the Backup uses all available free space and delete the oldest backup only when the drive is full.  Is that the out of the box expectation? I don't see the option in Windows Server Backup that allows me to setup the overwrite protection.  In this case, I want to delete the backup automatically if it's 30 days old.  As you can see in the picture below, 12/25/19 is still available.  I can manually delete the backup, but I want to know if this is the expected behavior and how I can automate it using Windows native backup?

Thank you.

Finally, let’s restart the services we stopped

net start “COM+ Event System”
net start “System Event Notification Service”
net start “Background Intelligent Transfer Service”
net start “Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider”
net start “Volume Shadow Copy”

Step 5 – Rerun VSSADMIN

Go ahead and try to rerun the vssadmin list writers command and see if it works.

No luck

REBOOTED - no luck

I have tried reformatting the destination backup folder - no luck

Rebooted - No Luck

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows server backup - rebooted - no luck

I have run chkdsk /f

I have tried sfc /scannow

Rebooted - NO LUCK.

How to recover partitions accidentally formatted by Windows Server Backup?

I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. I have two hard disks attached. The second hard disk contained two partitions (E and F). While running the Windows Server Backup I gave the path to backup the primary partition (C) on a schedule to one of the above partitions.

The backup schedule was running successfully until today I manually run the scheduled backup. I was shocked to see the message "Formatting..". Suddenly both the partitions of the other drive were lost. I could see Windows Server Backup merged the two partitions and created a dedicated backup partition.

Is there a way to recover those lost partitions?

Third-party backup software

Hello,

  I have just read that you can restore Windows 2008 to a different hardware, like Windows 7.

  I was wondering: Is there the need of third-party software anymore?. I mean, you just backup the whole system in a network share or a san volume or elsewhere (outside the 2008 box), and that is that, no Acronis anymore.

  Am I missing something?. To me, it looks so great.

Thanks in advance!

Data Transferred for System State in Windows Server Backup shows 0 KB

I have been using Windows Server Backup on our Windows Server 2008 R2 server for years now.  I have restored backups in the past from these backups.  The backup includes a full backup of the hard drive plus a System State backup.  However, I have noticed the System State backup is showing 0 KB under the Data Transferred column.  The backups all show as "Successful".  There do not seem to be any obvious errors.

Should the System state show more than 0 KB for Data Transferred?  Does this mean the System state, for some reason, is not not getting backed up?

Thanks,

Mike

How long Windows backup maintains incremental backups ?

Forgive my English, I'm Brazilian.

Good afternoon guys, I wonder how long Windows Backup on a 2016 or 2012 server stores incremental backups. I know that Windows Server Backup automatically creates a full backup when both of the following conditions are true:

  • 14 incremental backups have occurred since the last full backup

  • More than 14 days have passed since the last full backup

But I don't know how long the incremental backup is maintained. Anybody know ?

More Restore Options Needed

Sorry, this is long winded and from memory. I had to do a system restore this weekend.  It was much more difficult than it needed to be.  I didn't mind booting from installation media to get to the repair area, but the options in the restore process were disappointing.  The backup wizard has you backup up everything together, system, system state, and data.  When trying to restore just the system, there is not an easy option to do so.  To restore just the system drive, you have to select"Reformat Drives" to activate the "Exclusions" button.  The numbers they assign to drives don't match the actual drive numbers, so it doesn't give the user a lot of confidence.  I selected exclusions, and then unchecked the "reformat" option, and then proceeded.  That of course instantly started restoring the data drive first.  So I had to wait for it to restore the data drive and the system drive, and then I had to restore the data drive back to the most current state.  That's a lot of needless work.  Some of the articles I read even said stuff like "press the restore system drive only button".  That would be great, but it does not exist. 

Microsoft, pleas allow us to easily just restore the system drive without reformatting the drive.  Drives often have multiple partitions and it is unclear as if the entire drive will be reformatted, or just the partition.  If you can restore the whole system (data and system drives) without checking the "reformat" box, then you should be able to just restore the system drive without reformatting it.  Also, when it came time to restore the data, I was faced with the same issue, My data restore point for the most current data included the corrupt system, so I only wanted to restore the Data and not the system.  Again, I don't want to reformat because the drives are storage pools so I'm nervous about changing anything.  I then went back to the now working Server, and started the GUI for Server Backup.  I selected Restore Volumes as opposed to Files and Folders as I wanted to restore the entire volume so It wouldn't have any issues with some of the databases on that drive.  It prompts your for the source drives you wish to backup from the backup set you selected, and then gives you a place where to restore to.  You cannot restore to the same drive that the backup was from, so it is completely useless.  I had to then use the files and folders option and cross my fingers.  All worked out well, but there was a waste of about 20 hours that I didn't need to do. 

In Summary, please add some more options for the restore that do not include reformatting.  Test it and make sure it works, and roll it out to all the still active server versions, not just 2019.

Many Thanks, JP
