Recommended Posts

Posted

We have W2k3 standard server with SP1

This server is PDC and has installed SQL2005

 

While we scheduled ntbackup to make sysstate every day, we noticed

that backup failed to start...

 

This is error from eventlog:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: NTBackup

Event Category: None

Event ID: 8019

Date: 11.10.2007

Time: 21:05:05

User: N/A

Computer: server

Description:

End Operation: Warnings or errors were encountered.

Consult the backup report for more details.

 

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

 

 

This is log from NTBackup:

 

Backup Status

Operation: Backup

Active backup destination: File

Media name: "SystemState - CET.bkf created 11.10.2007 at 21:00"

 

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

Timeout before function completed

 

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0xffffffff.

 

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:ffffffff

Aborting Backup.

 

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

 

The operation did not successfully complete.

 

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

 

Does anyone have some sugestion how to solve this one?

Best regards

Hello,

 

this may help:

Various issues may occur on a Windows Server 2003-based computer that is

running the Volume Shadow Copy Service

DC and SQL on same machine ? you should avoid this if possible...

Thanks for answer, will try this tommorow at work...

Hope this solves problem

 

Speaking of DC and SQL... this SQL role is only for some small stuff,

not very important. Also we put three separate servers for databases,

two are MSSQL and one is ORACLE...

Re: VSS i NTBackup problem on W2k3SP1

 

I tried to do as is written in KB940032 but no effects...

 

But... I found something interesting at KB891957...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891957

 

I applied patch, restart the server and after it tried to backup

systemstate. It worked just fine.

I'll noticed if something goes wrong on this issue...

 

Thanks once again
