NTBackup fails backing up System State

[Guest zaz]

Is there any response from a Microsoft person? I have Technet on this user

account and would like some advice please?

 

I am running NTbackup as administrator on our only DC in

domain and getting the following error:

 

"Backup started on 27-06-2008 at 10:55.

Could not access portions of directory System State\SYSVOL.

You may not have permission to open the file, or the directory may be

missing or damaged.

Please contact the owner or administrator."

 

This domain was split away from another company and this DC was given all

the FSMO roles. Everything seems to be working fine but cannot find out how

to detemine want this error is and how to fix?

It appears that none of the usual respondents in this newsgroup has

encountered this problem before, hence the absence of replies. If

this was my machine then I would make a support call to Microsoft.

The cost is quite moderate (probably less than $400), which is trivial

compared to the importance of this issue.

Re: NTBackup fails backing up System State

 

I was checking the event logs in File replication and I have this error. I

have a C, F, H and X: Drives and this system and u sure why is mentions

d:\....?

 

Event ID 13539

 

The File Replication Service cannot replicate d:\ad\sysvol\domain because

the pathname of the replicated directory is not the fully qualified pathname

of an existing, accessible local directory.

 

and

 

Event ID 13552

 

he File Replication Service is unable to add this computer to the following

replica set:

"DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"

 

This could be caused by a number of problems such as:

-- an invalid root path,

-- a missing directory,

-- a missing disk volume,

-- a file system on the volume that does not support NTFS 5.0

 

The information below may help to resolve the problem:

Computer DNS name is "hddesign3.hd-design.local"

Replica set member name is "HDDESIGN3"

Replica set root path is "d:\ad\sysvol\domain"

Replica staging directory path is "d:\ad\sysvol\staging\domain"

Replica working directory path is "c:\windows\ntfrs\jet"

Windows error status code is

FRS error status code is FrsErrorStageDirOpenFail

 

Other event log messages may also help determine the problem. Correct the

problem and the service will attempt to restart replication automatically at

a later time.

Re: NTBackup fails backing up System State

 

I have noticed in the following registry under

 

HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ntfrs\Parameters\Replica Sets\

 

2 folders

 

c4276d80-7893-4142-b8622fe475746e83

inside this folder:

(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)

Relica Set name REG_SZ DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL

SHARE)

Replica Set Root REG_SZ d:\ad\sysvol\domain

Replica Set Stage REG_SZ d:\ad\sysvol\staging\domain

Replica Set Tombstoned REG_DWORD 0x0000000 (0)

Replica Set Type REG_SZ Domain

 

f8a48965-5f20-42dd-afa32b998fc2d3fd

inside this folder:

(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)

Relica Set name REG_SZ DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL

SHARE)

Replica Set Root REG_SZ dc:\windows\sysvol\domain

Replica Set Stage REG_SZ c:\windows\sysvol\staging\domain

Replica Set Tombstoned REG_DWORD 0x0000000 (0)

Replica Set Type REG_SZ Domain

 

 

Can I just delete the 1st folder that mentions d:\ad? as this does not

exist..............
