Access denied V-79-57344-33928 when backing up Server 2012 R2 Active Directory with GRT

$

I need a solution

Hello,

I am unable to backup Active Directory with GRT enabled after upgrading AD servers to Windows Server 2012 R2. GRT backups of AD worked fine when the servers were at 2008 R2.

Configuration:

- the server being backed up is running Windows Server 2012 R2 with Backup Exec agent 14.0.1798.1364 (2012 SP4 agent)

- the Backup Exec server is Backup Exec 2012 with SP4 installed

 

The following error occurs when backing up System State on the AD server:

----

GRT backup set folder: D:\BEData\IMG000921
The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) database and transaction logs ntds was successful.
V-79-57344-33928 - Access Denied. Cannot backup directory  and its subdirectories.
V-79-10000-13307 - You have backed up a Windows Server 2012 computer. You cannot use the Simplified Disaster Recovery disk to restore Windows Server 2012 computers. However, you can run a manual complete online restore for disaster recovery or a physical to virtual conversion.

...

Backed up 27 System State components

1 item was skipped.

----

By experimenting with different backup options, I found when just the GRT option is turned off just for the Active Directory backup, the System State backup works fine. So, the problem seems specifically with trying to do a GRT backup of Active Directory system state information on Server 2012 R2.

The advanced option file option is enabled and set to automatic, and all VSS writers on the AD server report a healthy state when checking "vssadmin list writers".

Has anyone else encountered this?

Thanks,

Tim

VMware recovery hangs for long period of time

I need a solution

Experiencing a problem during our disaster recovery test.  While restoring VMware backups, I'm kicking of a restore from the media server using the GUI.  I select the VM to restore, point it to my vCenter server, then select "Alternate Location" since I don't have all my ESX servers at DR and also need to select a different data store.  After clicking "Next" after selecting the alternate location, I get an hour glass for about 30 minutes before moving to the next screen, where I then select the vCenter server to restore to, folder, datastore, etc.  The restore then runs to completion and everything is fine, just trying to figure out how to resolve that 30 minute delay.  I've taken all media servers not present out of the bp.conf on the master server (also the media server for this particular restore), verified DNS is fine between the vCenter server, consildated backup server, and master/media server, etc.  The master/media server is running 7.6.0.1 on Solaris 10, all clients are also running 7.6.0.1.

 

Any help appreciated,

Thanks

 

Move data from LTO2 ta LTO4

I need a solution

I am running B. Exec 2010 R3 Rev. 5204 on my new server #2

I have LTO-2 tapes that were created on server #1

I would like to move/duplicate/copy (whatever the terminology is) the data from an archived LTO-2 tape to an LTO-4 tape on server #2.

I would like to have the new LTO-4 tape "MAINTAIN the ARCHIVED DATES" of course....rather than newly assigning todays date to the old data.

 

Thank you in advance!

Restoring Exchange IS to Disk

$

I need a solution

Greetings.

I am a network administrator for a small manufacturing company.  Our company is currently being proactive in response to possible legal inquiry (note:  "inquiry".... not "investigation").  Part of our efforts include setting aside the full backup jobs that were conducted just prior to a specific incident by which we expect to be questioned.

We are currently using BUE 2010 v13.0 rev 5204

We have these full backups on LTO tape.

We do not want to restore them back to the live Exchange Server...  there is no need for this.

What we're hoping to do is restore the full backup on the Exchange IS to an arbitrary physical network share; where the Exchange EDB can then be browsed and searched by third party tools without disturbing our live Exchange IS data.

Using the Backup Exec restore function, we know that FILE backups can be redirected out to an arbitrary network share (so that they do not disturb the existing share from which they originally came).  Exchange backups seem to be a different matter altogether.  The "Microsoft Exchange Redirection" menu does not seem to include a function where the Exchange IS data clearly restores out to a network share.  Rather, if I click on "Redirect Exchange Sets", I can only restore to a server (assuming this means an existing Exchange server), or a DAG.  We do not want to restore to either resource.

File Redirection:

01.png

Exchange Redirection:

02.png

Has anyone ever dealt with something like this?

What might I be able to try?

Does "File Redirection" override "Exchange Redirection"?

I don't want to assume that I can redirect away from our live Exchange IS, when nothing clearly indicates that I can do this.

Any advice would be most helpful.

Thank you.

Does anyone know the format of a -Bidfile?

I need a solution

I am trying to run a replication using nbreplicate. The command I am sending is nbreplicate -Bidfile bidfile -slp_name slp -cn 1. In the Bidfile I have 10 images listed one per line:

uswisuxdb9_1394402400

uswisuxgen5_1394402401

uswislxtaa001_1394402402

uswistag001_1394402415

uswistag001_1394402416

uswisres024_1394402418

The command will process the first image and then bomb out on the second with a 227 Image not found. If I edit the file and remove the first image it will then process the second image (which is now the first in the list) and then bomb out on the third. It is almost like it can only process the first entry bvecause there is no continuation character or something.

I need a solution

My goal is to use optimized/shared deduplication to replicate server backups between my two sites and be able to restore those backups and local backups during a vpn failure or site failure.  If site A is down, I want to recover site A servers to site B.  If site B is down, I want to recover site B servers to site A.

SO I am thinking of caso, but is bidirectional replication is possible for CASO.

In my test environment I tried to share both dedup storage. I am able to replicate from A to B but not from B to A.

When i tried to do it from B to A the shared dedup storage A showing Paused at B site.

SO CASO support bidirectional replication/ duplication.??

 

Need help.

I need a solution

Good day Everyone,

Currently I have an issue about a restore that's now taking about 3hours+ which is longer than before as 1hour+. Can anyone teach me what are the best practices or tuning to be done to address the issue? 

Below is the log on BAR GUI that confuses me. Even if the files are restoring to different location.

16:53:26 (14631.001) Changed /db2/PRD/sapdata4/db2prd/NODE0000/PRD/T0000013/.SQLCRT.FLG to /sapdata4test/db2prd/NODE0000/PRD/T0000013/.SQLCRT.FLG

16:53:26 (14631.001) File /sapdata4test/db2prd/NODE0000/PRD/T0000013/.SQLCRT.FLG exists. Keeping it.

 

Thank you all in advance. Have a great day :)

 

Cheers!
