start backup -backupTarget:\\WDMYCLOUD\administrator\automat\ -include:"D:\AGRO" -quiet

Hi,

 I am using wbadmin for backing up virtual machines. Since one of the machines was big but contained some data which were not intended to be backed up(like test databases) we decided to attach another VHDX and move this type of data onto it.

 The rest is intended for backup. This leads to problem - I cannot find way how to backup Hyper-v guest but exclude one VHD. Is it somehow possible?

Thank you.

Hello.

I use system backup windows 2008 r2. This systems allows you to backup to two discs at the same time as i think. I set it up to make it to an internal disk and to usb external disk (volumen not dedicated), but always does to one of them and shows me that there is ready a backup in progress and therefore not performed i the other.

What happen?

Thanks.

I need help setting up a scheduled backup task from Monday to Friday at 14:00. I want to copy folders e:\xxx and e:\yyy to F disk and H disk at the same time.

How would be wbadmin command?

Thanks.

Hello,

We actually have an issue about backup.

We cannot backup our server.

Here the log from Event Viewer \ Application :

The backup operation that started at '‎2016‎-‎03‎-‎17T15:00:34.930000000Z' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2147943484'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.

We uninstalled the Windows Server Backup feature and reinstalled it with no more success.

We rebooted the server in rescue mode and performed a reparation and we registered all VSS DLL. No more success.

Could you please help us.

We have a problem with a newly installed server. We installed 4 servers with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard. On the DC I attached a USB disk. The disk is a share so the other 3 servers are also able to back-up to the disk. Then I created a back-up task on all servers to do a bare metal back-up to the share.

When I run the back-up on the servers by hand it is working properly. When I schedule the back-ups most of the time it is not working. I get the following errors.

The description for Event ID 19 from source Microsoft-Windows-Backup cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

2147942455

%%2147942455

The locale specific resource for the desired message is not present

I tried some things:

• Recreate task
• reboot server
• installed windows updates
• created a partition per virtual

The backup of the DC is working. It is the only server that is working properly.

Hi,

I have been struggling with this for months now.  I get Event ID 24 with this error before every backup. I can't find any reason for it.  I have WSB running on Server 2012 R2 with hyper-v only, backing up 2 VMs to 2 locally attached USB drives, which are swapped out weekly.

Backup started a fresh backup for volume '{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}' ('Esp') :
 [Reason: 'Volume size changed']. This may cause loss of older backup versions when backup completes.

Some people have suggested that it is down to lack of space on the destination drives, but i have formatted the drives and started again.  The drives are 2TB and the total backup size is ~750gb.  Even though the message suggests we will lose old backups there about 8 available to restore.

I could really do with some help getting this resolved.  If not, at least some pointers as to which the volume is with all the zeros.

Thanks

Hi,

I have Windows Server 2008 (not R2) running Windows Backup to an external USB HDD. The USB HDD is 50% full with 178 backup copies. Each night the backup fails one minute after start with the error.

We had working in Windows 2008 Server Enterprise 64 bits the Windows Server Backup and was working perfect. Then we made the upgrade to Windows 2008 Server Enterprise 64 bits R2 after tht when we want to create a backup it stops giving the error 2155347997. Trying to fix we did this first:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2010/06/18/reasons-why-the-error-enumeration-of-the-files-failed-may-occur-during-system-state-backup/

We ran the GetInvalidPathsv2.ps1 and only detect instances of  "The service path contains spaces, the whole path needs to be enclosed using double quotes"

We have other server with Windows 2008 Enterprise NOT R2  and gives identical instances but Windows Server Backup works there.

Now what could be happening after the upgrade to Windows Server R2 why not run there? Before the update in Windows NOT R2 works fine just after the upgrade to R2 began the problem. Also we tried these 2 scripts running from a .bat without luck:

I have a brand new 2008R2 SP1 server (Domain Controller) where I try to make SystemState backup. Backup seems to work fine, but I can not delete oldest.
I'm uncertain if I do have a valid SS backup.

So far everything seems ok.
But when I try to delete the oldest backup, things look weired:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\wbadmin delete systemstatebackup -deleteOldest

(C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.

Enumerating system state backups...
ERROR - No system state backups were found.
This command can be used to delete backups that only contain the system state.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I try with -keepversions, I get same result:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enumerating system state backups...
ERROR - No system state backups were found.
This command can be used to delete backups that only contain the system state.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

So do I have a valid Systemstate backup ?
And can I trust I can use it to recover if needed, since it says "No system state backups were found" ?
And why can't I delete the oldest backup ?

All our VMs running Windows Server 2008 R2 backup successfully to this network location using the same network and service credentials. This issue appears to only be happening on our VMs running Windows Server 2012. 

Dear All 

good Day

i have a original copy with serial windows server standrd 2012 can i upgrade from windows server 2008 to windows server 2012 

i have image  backup before 2 years can i restore without remove any new  files and  configuration role

please help

A Windows Server 2012 has just been restored from WindowsImageBackup. It is a stand-alone DC that provides basic AD/DNS/DHCP/File shares. Due to catastrophic hardware failure the restore has been performed to a completely new set of equivalent hardware (Dell T110 II server).

Although things generally appear to be working (staff are able to access file shares, internet, printers, etc), there are a number of faults:-

• Network adapter has "Public" network type
• A plethora of various errors pertaining to DNS failure and no DC being found
• "Active Directory Sites and Services" does not display any items (the usual expandable tree etc).

And there is a strong suspicion that users are logging on to their workstations with "cached" credentials and not being authenticated by the server.

The errors being logged include

16651 Request for a new account-identifier pool failed

14550 DFS Namespace svc could not init cross-forest trust info on this DC 

68 Certificate enrolment for Local system failed in authentication to policy servers ... (The specified Domain does not exist or could not be contacted)

67 (related to 68)

1126 AD DS was unable to establish a connection with the global catalog.

And a multitude of others, with a common theme of the DC not being "active" or failed DNS lookup of the domain etc.

Is there a checklist procedure that I can refer to do diagnose how to restore this DC to operational status? Or any other suggestions on how to tackle this? Thanks.

Hi Team,

please tell me which is best for backup and restore in active directory.

in WBADMIN 

START BACKUP

or

START SYSTEMSTATEBACKUP

which is best?

Hello,

I am working on a new AD server. Have installed windows server 2012 r2 and promoted. Now I need to copy all files from old 2008 r2 AD to new 2012 r2 AD. How best do I do it considering that old server is in use and daily changing files in shared drive. Is there some robocopy solution ? Also how do all security groups and permissions ?
