Remove orphaned snapshots of backup failed

• Cannot remove orphaned snapshots

  One of the servers ESXi 4.1 in my care ran out of disk space today.  This problem has been resolved.  One of the causes is some old shots that take up to 70G (000002,000003,000006 files).  I don't see that they are used.  It seems that the virtual machine has been removed and readded by using the same VMDK. because it's using 2 different directories.  I don't think that this is part of the problem.  The user interface shows no snapshots.

  I tried flushing of invisible snapshots by taking a snapshot and deleting everything in the UI.  Snapshots are still there.  When he creates a snapshot, it uses 000001 and 000004.  The old clichés have not been affected at least 4-5 months, looking at the dates.  I tried to delete them in the user interface, but she came back with an error.

  I watched the vmx file.  He referred 000006 as reader of scsi0:1, but it is not enabled.  SCSI0:0 is the only player.  I thought that if I emptied the 000006 in the vmx file, I might be able to remove it.  So, I created a scsi0:1 disk and then deleted.  000006 is not referenced in the file any more, but it did not help.

  I looked at the latest vmware.log, I don't see reference to files, 2,3,6.

  How can I make sure that they are not used?  And how do I get rid of these files?

  This particular server account local storage, vmotion is not an option.

  I have attached the logs and vmx files.

  Thank you

  If you are sure that the snapshots are no longer needed, but do not want to delete the files immediately, I recommend you properly stop the virtual machine, and then create a new subdirectory in the folder of the VM data store and move the "orphans" files in this folder. Then turn on the virtual machine again, and once you can confirm that everything works as expected, you can delete the subdirectory.

• Unable to start the virtual machine after failing to remove the snapshot

  Recently, I tried to delete a snapshot on a Windows XP virtual machine in VMware server 2.0. After a few minutes, the operation has failed, then the GUI crashed. I was not able to manage one of my virtual machines until I rebooted the server. My other virtual machines still work fine. I can't just run the virtual machine on which I tried to remove the snapshot. This virtual machine is very important to me and I would try to get it back. Does anyone have advice? Also, I upgraded this version of VMware server 1.x to 2.x, so please let me know if this may have something to do with this problem. Thanks in advance.

  An additional note. If the virtual machine starts, I suggest that you run chkdsk, just to make sure that there are no problems with the file system of the client.

• Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

  I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

  I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

  Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

  Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

  Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

  Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

  You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

  A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.

• Backup failed - error Code 0 x 80780169

  Hello world

  Bit of a newby, but every time I try a backup or to create a system image, I get the following error:

  Check your backup
  Backup failed as a snapshot volume of the source has been removed. This could be caused by a high activity in writing to the volume. Try the backup again. If the problem persists, consider growing shadow copy storage using the command "VSSADMIN Resize ShadowStorage".
  Error code: 0 x 80780169
  Curiously, I'm is also trying to partition my drive (300 GB) and it let me just to make a new record of slightly more than 6 GB (which is no where near big enough). I could be wrong, but I guess that everything is connected? Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
  Kind regards

• Orphaned snapshots after Consolidation?

  My classmates one of our servers to the left with a snapshot on it for MORE than 6 months, so that the hypervisor ran out of space.  I'm, «Believe» at this point, the file delata, once he ran out of space, was coruupt, as he could not continue to add data in the Delta.  Being a limited space, I quickly STOP the machine virtual and tried the trick, to make a SMALL snapshot, with the machine turned off and then went to snapshit Manager and chose, 'DELETE ALL'... of course the space on the data store was NOT 1.5 times more than snapshots, if removing it does not.  I thought at this point, it would be better to migrate the virtual computer in a data store that is large enough to perform the consolidation.  I mounted a datastore NFS to the hypervisor, deleted the current virtual incentory computer and made a COPY of the virtual machine to the new data store, which has been a success.  I then tried to start the virtual machine, and first he failed, because of course, the snapshot that was used for the virtual hard disk was corrupt.  At this point, I analyzed the data, I looked through the VMDK to determne which was the last good snapshot VMDK.  I found and edited ther. VMX file to point at him and of course, start the VM.  A good result.  I then turned it off, make a small snapshot again and then choose REMOVE ALL.  This time it went through successfully.  My VM is not pointed at the BASE vmdk-flat file.  BUT, I seem to have ORPHANED vmdk delta files, what is the best way to deal with this?  If you need logs please let me know.

  My goal is to clean all orpahned uneeded files and then copy the virtual computer to the original data store.

  PS - my only real concern is at this point that there seems to be some delta files hang out, although I DO NOT believe that they are used, since I showed up my base vmdk, after consolidation through the snapshit Manager.

  Impatience of all advice.  Thanks in advance.

  I'm still confused! It's the same VM we talked to Re: orphan Snapshots after Consolidation?.

  Since the snapshot (1, 3, 4, 2 Basic) string is equal to 'PowerSchoolTestWeb.vmdk', you can use the same command as shown in Re: orphan Snapshots after Consolidation? - with just replace the name of hard - to clone the virtual disk.

• iTunes backup fails - Solution: conflict with ZoneAlarm

  For the last 2 months my iTunes (12.3.3) on Windows 7 has been doing more slow slow and glacial as when attaching an iPhone or an iPad (iOS 9.3) for synchronization.

  Last week, I started to receive messages from "backup failed...". "and occasional 0xE8000003 and unable to connect at all errors.

  Apple Support Articles are excellent and give you all the variants. I tried:

  (1) different cables USB-brightening

  (2) different USB ports

  (3) turn off all firewall and virus software

  (3) change the iTunes library for the last one which had sync

  (4) by removing the Lockdown folder

  (5) removing all the old backup files

  (6) replaces the backup files with those who worked from a Mac

  (7) uninstall and then reinstall all the software Apple

  (8) repeated several times in different order

  Finally, I called Apple Support... which were promptly, asked all the right questions and eventually degenerated the problem to engineering. I can't say enough good things about the apple (Attaboy Gabe and JD) support. What is particularly remarkable because my problem was clear Windows on a PC!

  In the meantime, I decided to try not only leave my protection software (CheckPoint ZoneAlarm Extreme) but uninstall. After an uninstall using 'Clean' removal of Checkpoint app, I discovered several registry entries and many services are still active. Most annoying, they have been services that I had never activated to start (ZA Privacy Service, anti-theft ZoneAlarm and Zone Alarm AntiKeyLogger). Start in safe mode, I finally could remove these services and remove all debris from the registry.

  Success. iTunes is now responsive again and fast when I plug an external device!

  The lesson learned for me coming out of the firewall and antivirus that has worked in the past to isolate conflicts as it did not remove its tendrils in Windows as advertised. Even uninstalling was incomplete and left debris.

  Zone Alarm, followed...

  "They just released a new version today which lists the indefinable Fixed: incompatibility with ITunes" in the notes.

  The previous version that caused the problem was released on February 16, 2016, but there is no information in their support on any issues site.

  ZoneAlarm is repeated consumption of abnormal resources guilty and former bad behavior with iTunes. They blocked again.

  

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  Ted

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• "Backup failed" notification on Palm Pre

  I just received a notification on my phone that says "backup failed." I typed it, and he opened a message that says that my phone has not been saved since February 2, 2010. He then suggests that I press a 'Back Up Now' button that appears. I press it, and the phone just hangs. How can I get my pre back up successfully once again? I can't afford to lose my contacts in my business, and I hear, it's the "end game" for the same problem... all disappear one day.

  Help!

  You are right. Disabling backup removes only the data from the server of Palm, all data on the device will be intact.

  Re-activation backup will create a fresh new copy of the backup on the server.

• WHS client backup fails with an access denied error

  I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1 on which I have installed the Windows Home Server 2011 connector and configuration backups for her. Backups fail at every attempt to return that an error prevented backup to create a snapshot of the volumes on this computer.

• Backup fails and imprisons the DVD + R in machine

  Please accept my apologies if this is a dumb question with an easy answer.

  I tried to run backup on HP G61-110SE (64-bit Edition Windows 7 Home Premium) that I bought a couple of weeks. I insert the DVD and let it roll. Backup goes to about 50% (over a period of what this is between 3 and 24 hours) then either hangs or advises the backup failed or the drive is faulty somehow and I need to insert another disc. At this point, I try to eject the disc (and we tried to push the button to insert a needle) and he refuses to eject. He even lets me know that he has failed to eject most of the time, but I tend to have already achieved it.

  I need to stop the laptop and eject while it is booting. This means that I have to cancel the backup and still failed to create. Backup restore & does not recognize a flash drive as available on DVD/CD alternative. A few times I even had to pull on the plug, remove the battery, leave it for a few minutes and turn (as they said of working when HP of the work cell phone froze at startup).

  I don't think I'm stupid, but my question is, I'm a fool for trying to use DVD + R or is there something more fundamentally wrong? All I want to do is create a set of backup disks!

  Help, please

  OK everybody! Problem solved.

  Not sure that the following items, which did the trick but I would go with the last of them;

  1. the audio and video dvd which worked well, then tried to backup Sony DVD + R again and it didn't burn. Then,.

  2 disabled Norton, disconnected from all internet and associated devices, ran to the backup for about 24 hours on a DVD + RW Verbatim and it hung at 61% and wouldn't release the drive. Then,.

  3. put the ball across the screen, took the phone upstairs and threw it out the window of the bedroom. Allow the dog to throw it in the garden for 15 minutes. He dropped out of the mouth of dogs, has been replaced power cord, put another ball by keyboard for good measure. Tried to launch backup and it failed. Finally,.

  4 bought some Sony DVD-R. Disabled Norton, etc., ran backup and it worked!

  My conclusion is that, after crossing a cake about 12 25 TDK DVD + R Sony DVD + R, 6 TDK DVD + RW and 1 Verbatim DVD + RW, it is perhaps that DVD-R is the format of the disc to go.

  P.S. If someone from Microsoft or HP is reading this, it might be interesting to convey this to new purchser of your products and the authors of manuals / "help" topics If anyone from Sony is reading this, I will gladly accept a gift of a cake of replacement of DVD + R for free advertising. If anyone from TDK is reading this... Sorry, do not use your brand again. No logical reason.

  You have Roxio installed by any chance? This program known to cause problems with the Windows backup utility to back up open files.  If so, you might want to try to uninstall it to see that it will work.  You make sure that media to reinstall the program if necessary.

• System backup fails with the error no disk space

  I have a Dell laptop with Vista. There E. internal recovery disc I saved 1/2011, but subsequent backups fail, no disk space. The previous backup should be deleted everything first?  I'm afraid to delete all files on the recovery drive for fear of a further backup failure.  If there are files already on the drive if no changes have been made their backup just jump on them and backup new files?  I'm not a computer guru so sorry if these are questions fans.

  Hello

  When you set up your computer, you must create a backup image of the Windows computer, which is like taking a snapshot of the programs, system and files on your computer settings. You can use this backup if your computer ever stops. Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using the back up files Wizard. You must also update the Windows complete PC backup image every six months.

  If you copied the data from drive E to another location, then it is safe to delete the content in the reader.

• Automatic monthly backup failed.

  I do a monthly automatic back up to a 200 GB external hard drive (Maxtor), called reader: K, because the backup Drive: D was only 10 GB. Over time, I noticed the smaller room available GET. Last night backup failed because the disk is full (at least I think. The player was red. Error code 0 x 81000005 was generated). I'm not computer literate, but looking around it appears that a single solution (from disk cleanup) would be to remove all but the last "Restore Point" to drive K. However, I am reluctant to try this, without guidance, in which case it was dangerous.

  Hi Moorey,

  You can use Disk Cleanup to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run more quickly. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

  Note: You can choose the files you want to delete. Make sure that you have selected only the files that you want to remove.

  1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, all programs, Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.

  2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. If the disk cleanup: drive selection dialog box appears, select the hard disk (C :) you want to clean, and then click OK.

  4. click on the Disk Cleanup tab, and then Select the check boxes for files that you want to Remove.

  5. When you have finished select the files you want to delete, click OK, and then click on delete files to confirm the operation. Disk Cleanup on delete all unnecessary files from your computer.

  Check if you are able to solve the problem.

• "Windows backup failed trying to read from shadow copy on one of the volumes to back up.

  I get the message "Windows backup failed while trying to read shadow copy on one of the volumes to back up" what backup operation is performed. I changed a few files backup and deleted files on the backup drive and think that this is related to the problem.  I need to know how to recreate the "cliché".

  Now, even if Essentials said it removed, I still see this file in the directory, so I removed it manually. I have not tried to restart the backup with Essentials, but can pretty much guess that it will work. Otherwise, it must at least point people in the right direction on how to fix this problem permanently.
