Which can consume a theoretical double per snap.īackUp Exec might have a required free space on the volume, and you just hit it. This is how folks with dynamic virtual disks get into the paused - critical state - their dynamic VHD is larger than the physical space, or they are using snapshots Hyper-V will run your VM until it cannot perform some action that the VM is requiring. In the end, I think it is a really poor error message that is creating all of the run around. They might have some rule that identifies the amount of free space or forces the VSS snapshot to be written to disk in a particular location, which it thinks is too low on space. VSS needs space to create its shadow copy backup, which Symantec then pulls and calls that its backup.

I've seen otherīackup Software fail for this very reason but not give any hint as to what the issue was. I would also advise moving the logs manually within Exchange to another drive if you have already used the SBS wizard to move the actual database, as it doesn't move the logs this way. Hope this helps anyone else having these issues. SBSMonitoring and BE instances) there wouldn't be a backup of SQL available that can utilize GRT, but would have to perform maintenance plans and have those added to the backup routine for DR. I still don't consider this a resolution because had the customer actually used SQL on this Server (they just use

All of a sudden, I was in business!! ESE VSS events were logging successfully and I'm now performing a full image backup finally.Īlthough this seems like a Microsoft issue, the fact that Veeam backed up fine, along with Windows Server Backup, does still point to BE. So doesn't have a local admin account to use as suggested in some articles. Long story short, after much digging, I came across an article suggesting to check into SQL writer service permissions having to be local administrator, and not local system account, I decided to disable this service as BE is installed on a Domain Controller At this point, I'm still thinking it's a corrupt Exchange store and/or logs, as suggested by Microsoft. which resolved most of these errors, but I still got ESE Information Store Shadow Copy instance aborted errors.

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures After hours of following false leads, I finally found that Sharepoint can bibizarrely create these errorsĪfter installing SP1 and not running. This points to Exchange VSS errors so leads you down the wrong path. I was having ESE errors when the backup tries to run and fails immediately after. Lenora Moss Technical Support Engineer, SMB Partner Support, Symantec Corporation Surprise surprise, it works just fine :-) Is this due to only having slightly less than 10% free space on the physical host or just Backup Exec being its usual self? Does HyperV REQUIRE that you have a certain percentage of space free on the physical machine to process?įor further troubleshooting: what happens when Windows Server Backup is configured for the VM backup and ran? Getting a reliable backup of their whole vhd. I'm inclined to believe Microsoft in this case, but I'm getting nowhere and our customer isn't Symantec say it's the VSS writers (apart from one support technician who admitted their product was a joke) but then Microsoft say it's Symantecs issue. "Failed to create the backup of virtual machine 'HG-2011-SBS'. I also have the following error on the physical host each time I run the backup: "Error: NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(spfarm), 0x80070560, The specified local group does not exist." In the Event log of the Virtual Machine itself, there is only one VSS error, of which I'm told I can safely ignore, but resolved anyway: If the virtual machine is not properly configured, it may be necessary to use the Event Viewer in the virtual machine to identify the Use the Event Viewer on the Hyper-V host to identify the cause. Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).Ī virtual machine snapshot could not be created. We have had an occasional full HyperV backup to tape, but almost every otherĭay it fails with the following in Backup Exec (now 2014): They have only 150GB spare on the drive which seemed like enough. vhd which is 1.46TB in size, and a fixed disk.
We have a customer which has Server 2008 R2 with a. I'm sure this will be a favourite topic, but I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on this situation.
