Guest Marcos Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 I am trying to run ntbackup.exe under windows server 2008. The reason for this is due to the defficiencies and limitations in windows server backup - specifically, I am trying to backup files from a drive > 2TB. I have followed the instructions here: http://cs.thefoleyhouse.co.uk/blogs/karl/archive/2008/02/10/how-to-backup-exchange-2007-on-server-2008.aspx But I am getting this error in my applicataion log: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: An error occured calling QueryInterface from IVssCoordinator to IVssShim. hr = 0x80004002. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Re: Running ntbackup in Windows Server 2008 Hello Marcos, The article you posted applies to a VISTA machine used for backup, NOT the 2008 server itself. The builtin backup from 2008 does not have the option for file/folder backup. It will backup volumes and drives. There is only a ntbackup.exe for 2008 which allows you to read older backup files created with ntbackup before 2008.

Guest Marcos Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Re: Running ntbackup in Windows Server 2008 Actually, no - the link I sent are instructions on setting up ntbackup under Windows 2008 - they simply followed the instructions for Vista (kernels on vista/2008 are the same, so the steps are the same). If you'll look at the snapshots, you'll see Server Manager running in the background, and ntbackup running in the foreground. It's not so much individual file backups that matters to me - like I said, as it stands, I have no way of backing up using the built-in Windows tools. I have a 4TB drive, and windows server backup only allows drives < 2TB. ntbackup works with drives > 4TB, but it won't run under server 2008.
