Azure Backup fails to run
Hi,
A customer of ours runs Azure backup on several desktop computers (files and folders)
On of the machines fails to run the backup and throws this error code: 0x1D4C2
I have tried to reinstall the Azure Backup software.
Any ideas what can cause this?

Incremental File/Folders backup from Azure backup agent
I have installed mars agent in on-premise server and I am backing up Files/Folders. I have created schedule to kick of backup once a day and ran the first backup successfully.
I would like to know: when the next backup kicks off then will it be Incremental or Full backup and if it will do a full backup from server then how can I specify that only incremental backup should be taken as the folders I backing up is of 100+GB

unable to delete recovery services vault
I am unable to delete an old vault. Through the web I delete the resources in the vault but the resources never deletes. A force delete through powershell does not work either. It is like there is a stale empty object stuck, either the container or the protected item I would imagine, but no way for me to delete them. Nothing in this document works https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-delete-vault#delete-a-vault-used-to-protect-a-dpm-server
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add another schedule in azure file folder backup
I have configured the server and azure backup of files/folders, which are fine at the moment with retention to 7 days.
I would like to add one more folder in the backup but this new folder should have retention of 6 months. How can I create a different schedule of this new folder in the same server backup?

This is my situation:
I have 1x VM let´s name it: devcore
Now I have devcore backup with Recovery Services vaults. This backup retention period is ending in 7 days and I want to keep backup at least for next 6 months. So I have recovered new VM (devcorerestore) from this backup and deallocated. But I have billing
for HDDs storage in devcorerestore that is not nice. So now here is my situation what next? How can I change retention period of existing backup in Recovery Services vaults or how ca I transfer this backup to another Recovery Services vaults or what I can

Recovery process for azure backup
Hi ,
We are trying to test the recovery procedure for backups stored in our azure recovery vault.
We currently have SQL database, exchange database and BMR backups backed up to Azure recovery vault using Azure recovery server setup in our on prem infrastructure. This ABS instance backups up data from several different local servers.
We can easily backup and recover files using the Azure backup server.
We are trying to document the procedure for a file level recovery in the event of site/the current Azure backup server being unavailable. Below is what we have done so far.
- Downloaded and installed Azure recovery agent to a client PC from Azure portal.
- Started the recover function from right column
- Provided vault credentials
- Selected he required ABS instance
- Provided the server encryption key
The next part is where we have problems. As you can see in the screenshot below, we cannot identify the required backup that needs to be restored. Any idea how we can make the right selection ?
REST API - backupJobs operation: Filtering on backup dates doesn’t seem to be working
Hello
I am trying to get a list of jobs using the REST API’s backupJobs operation. It seems that if no filter is given, only the last 24 hours worth of jobs is returned. I would like to get all the jobs that started after a certain date and for this, I am using a filter similar to:
$filter=startTime%20ge%20datetime'2016-12-15T22:30:04Z'
I say “similar” because I have tried all sorts of ways to encode this query (‘+’ instead of %20, %3A instead of ‘:’, various formats for the time stamp), to no avail. I always end up with the jobs for the past 24 hours.
What is strange is that if I try to filter on the operation type (i.e. “backup”), then I get all the backups there are in the system (I only have backups for the past 2 months).
Here is an example of the query I use:
Does anyone have an example of a backupJobs query with a timestamp filter that works?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent.
Best practices MABS host maintenance
We have been trying to work out what is the best practices for patching physical hosts that are protected by on site MABS?
We need basically a nice way to stop all jobs (ideally promptly...) once a month to install patches, followed by reboots without corrupting backups or requiring consistency checks. We can't have jobs start up again till we are ready to move on given updates can take a while to install.
In our case, each site has at least 1 physical host with a stack of VMs, backed up by a MABS VM.
Given everyone has to do this now and then, any suggestions on concluded best practices to do it reliably and repeatedly?
Backups in vault being held longer than retention
Hello, I am having a problem with one particular Azure Recovery Vault (classic VMs not ARM). All VMs in this vault have a 7 day retention policy, yet some of them are being kept for 60 days. I have triple checked the policies are set to run daily and keep for 7 days and there are no weekly monthly or yearly backups. Why is this happening and how can I prevent it?
Also, is there any manual way to delete the snapshots and backup vault items that are older than 7 days?
None of my other Recovery Vaults are having this issue, and its about half of the VMs inside that are experiencing the problem. Any help is appreciated.
