Windows Server backup question!

I need help.  I'm a guy from Server 2008R2 novice who tries to save not only the server (which I did successfully with Windows Server backup), but a shared external hard drive connected to one of my office workstation computers (it has information vital to back up as well).  The documentation for Windows Server Backup to a google search says "You can use Windows Server backup to create and manage backups for the local computer or a remote computer".  How to create a backup to (not) a remote computer?

  • Windows Server backup - Reporting failure, but creates a backup file

    Currently have a Server 2008 R2 running. Also runs Hyper-V with 3 than VMS. VM can be found on the D drive, so I have given up trying to save with C, since it was time.

    I don't have a setup of daily - just VSS full backup disk Local (c), no bare metal recovery or backup the system state. It's backup on a network drive shared on a different server.

    Daily backup status comes back as having failed. However when I go to the destination that the backup must be going, I see a 280 GB VHD file, which is the size expected to see.

    The error reported in the Windows Server backup is "one of the backup files could not be created. "Error: the parameter is incorrect".

    WSB is horrible to provide crash reports useful on what is the real problem.

    Anyone have any idea why it's create a large file of backup, but reported as having failed with this error?

  • previous versions of files available for recovery "windows server backup.

    I use "windows server backup" to back up my Windows Server 2008R2 and R2 for Windows Server 2012 boxes.

    Using the graphical user interface of 'windows split backup', I can:

    o search the various backups on disk

    o down through the tree of a given instance of a backup to disk

    o select a single file to retrieve

    I want to watch all instances of a file that do not exist to recover.  This feature is available in 'windows explorer' by the 'previous versions' tab.  How can I get this same 'previous versions' ability via the 'windows server backup"collect mistletoe?

    Are there other utilities (other that the 'windows server backup"recover gui) that allow me to browse the catalog of backup?

    Is it possible to browse the catalogue using the powershell cmdlets?

    Thank you

  • Windows Server backup failed

    Hello

    We have a problem with our Windows Server backup on our main server. It fails every night and you see disks (5 discs for each day from Monday to Friday) to be offline, even if we can access the data and restore files/folders. We tested another software to backup with one of our readers, and he was properly executed. The event log shows error event ID 561 and 546 "...". the backup failed as no target could be found... "Any ideas what is the cause? As I have said that we ran successfully backup by using one of the players and another software so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

    Thanks in advance

  • Cannot initialize the Windows Server backup on Server 2008 R2

    Hello

    I searched around for a bit now to try to find a solution to my mistake, but so far have turned up empty-handed.

    Operating system: Windows Server 2008 R2

    Objective:
    To obtain Windows Server Backup works then I can start my server backups.

    Problem 1:
    When you try to start Windows Server Backup through Server Manager interface, I'm greeted with the following error:

    A fatal error occurred during an operation of the snap-in (wbadmin.msc) Windows Server backup.
    Error details: Server execution failed

    Close wbadmin.msc and then restart it.

    Outcome 1: Looking Me wbadmin Gets the #2 problem...

    Problem 2:
    Apparently, block level backup engine server was not active.  When you try to start the block level backup engine Service, I get this:

    Windows could not start the service block level Backup Engine Server on the Local computer.
    0x800700b7 error: cannot create a file when that file already exists.

    Outcome 2: No idea where to go from here.

    Problem 3:
    Open the cmd prompt as administrator, I type in what follows to see what I get: net start wbengine

    And get...

    The block level backup engine Service service starts.
    Block level backup engine Service service could not be started.

    A system error has occurred.

    183 system error has occurred.

    Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

    Result 3: No idea how this started.

    So, I find myself thinking about the following: block level Backup Engine Server must be running in order for wbadmin work properly.  However, as I can't start the WBEngine, it is here where I am currently.

    If someone has an idea or could tell me what I should do to get this working, it would be greatly appreciated.  I can give more information if necessary.

    Thank you.

  • How Windows Server backup and command-line tools are used in the installation of vCSHB?

    How the Windows Server backup and command-line tools are used during the installation of vCSHB?  It takes in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? It is used to create files that are put in file sharing for the second node to use during the installation of vCSHB or is it only used during a clone of vCSHB of a physical to physical deployment operation?  These tools are not used in some deployments?

    You need backup Windows Server installed on the source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will call the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will save the configuration and application data (application data is optimal, but can reduce the synchronization time after the installation of the secondary node). On the secondary node you will should only run the vCSHB Installer and everything will be restored.

    Check this blog entry for some info on P2P deployment issues: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/

  • The cold on windows Server backup

    Hi all;

    OS: Windows
    DB: 10.2.0.3

    I'm trying to schedule a backup to cold, I was wondering if I can just oracle database service down and then directly copy files by using the copy command, and after completion of the copy of the files I will until oracle services.
    Will this method work, I can't test the same thing that I do have access to the server right now.

    Kind regards
    Sphinx

    Yes, you can, by default, the service will run an IMMEDIATE STOP. To do this, look at named something like registry keys

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWN

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle\KEY_OraDb12c_home1\ORA_ORCL_SHUTDOWNTYPE

    and you will see the settings.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 with Exchange of HDD replaceable hot backup?

    I have a server that is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with 4 exchangeable to hard drives hot.  3 250 GB disks and configured in RAID 5.  The 4th 1 TB hard drive and used for the backup.  With capabilities to warm the intention was to use the 4th hard drive as a player traded for backup purposes, put the inactive disks in a vault without danger for the security and protection.  Unfortunately I was able to configure Windows backup software to recognize the multiple backup drives.

    I hope that someone is aware of this problem and knows how to solve.  If yes I would appreciate to hear your solution.

  • wbengine.exe process back up Windows server crash

    Hi all

    I have a real scarecrow if anyone can help with the below.

    I have a windows 2008 R2 server and I'm in windows server backup to back up my exchange databases,

    as incremental backups about 4-5 gb nightly take 10-15 minutes to complete successfully.

    However I had two instances to find the volume is stuck at 1%.

    I tired to cancel this backup the right way by using the windows server backup console, but the screen cancel freezes and not finished I left the night before and always the same when I come back.

    so after killing the console of windows server backup process, I'm stuck with the wbengine process that prevents that a return ups taking place because she is already a running process.

    I tired to the next stop using cmd lines and block-level service to kill while he reports, he killed the process, it is still there and preventing return taking place, I found the only way to stop it is to bounce the server which is not an ideal solution, if one has information or ideas on how to avoid this in the future I would be grateful.

    This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)
