Recovering a deleted Backup
We used Azure cloud backup to backup two servers holding 14 instances.
About 10 days ago we decided we had migrated from the one server to the other and no longer needed the cloud backups of that server. We deleted those 14 instances from the azure portal. We now realize we need that backup.
Is there anyway an MS Engineer can reinstate a backup instance? Similar to deleteing an echange mailbox but for 30days it is recoverable? We needing to try and recover a sql backup as the MDF has changed to 0 bytes and the SQL backup on the on prem server will not open.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Backup on prem Client to Azure: how to evaluate storage needs
Sorry, I'm still confused about the subject, wishing MSFT will provide more examples in FAQ/pricing calculator.
Assuming:
- Starting local storage 40.000 (MB or GB)
- Compression 0% to keep things simple
- 1 daily backup
- Daily retention policy 14 days
Is this schema correct? (daily churn rate in bold red, auto-merged (?) recovery points in bold italic, total block blob storage in bold in column D)
Additionally, could you help me to understand how much additional storage is needed adding Weekly retention policy of Wednesday backups (say for 8 weeks)?
Thanks in advance

Azure Backup Update Resource Certificate Error
New Windows 2016 Essentials install. I went to use Azure backup option and obtained an Azure backup subscription added to client O365 account. When running configuration wizard an error is realized after providing the Azure credentials and selecting the backup criteria of region and vault. On first attempt vault was created on every subsequent attempt the vault was selected from the vault option list.
The wizard error: Azure backup configuration did not succeed.
An unknown error occurred.... <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=30918.. Error Code: 80040280
When I log into Azure and select the backup vault that was created the following error is in the log: Update Resource Certificate

Backup of Azure Blob storage
Given that I have a Storage account containing a number of blob storage containers with blobs. How can I assure that it is possible to perform a point in time restore of those blobs for a given retention period? Is there a built-in backup mechanism in
place in Azure, allowing to perform it via a support ticket? Are there any best practices for creating a setup allowing it?
The scenarios to protect against is essentially data corruption via overwrite of a blob without snapshots or dropping entire containers. Activating Soft delete and maintaining permanent leases on containers will only get me half way there.

Detecting when a MARS agent hasn't backed up
Hi,
We have a number of Windows servers located at customer sites which are backed up to azure recovery services using the MARS agent. This works well.
We have configured email alerts to notify us if a backup has failed. However, I understand that this will not not alert us in the scenario that a server fails to even attempt to backup (i.e. the sever is off or there's a problem starting the task).
To implement such alerts, my thoughts are to try and pipe the backup logs to a storage account and then create an alert (in powerbi?) to detect when a new log has not been created for x number of days.
I'm very much at the concept stage with this, and would like some help with:
- Am I approaching the problem in the correct way?
- If so, how do I configure the above?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Matt.

Azure Recovery Services Agent Upgrade Wizard Fails to Install **Fatal Error**
I recently downloaded this update for existing azure users
http://azure.microsoft.com/blog/2014/09/11/announcing-long-term-retention-for-azure-backup/
after running this update it verifies I have
Windows .Net framework 4.5 & Windows Powershell but it still fails with this error:
The Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent installation has failed.
Error : Failed to install Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent.
Problem : 1603:Fatal error during installation
I am not sure what is going on, I tried a couple of times, rebooted the server, still fails every time, when I open the program itself, it is still setup correctly and working, but it says the event log is corrupt, and the log is suppose to be in event viewer/Applications and Service Logs/Cloudbackup, but it is not there, so I have no way to clear it to fix this issue either...I guess I may have to uninstall and re-install the entire program.
My error log states this:
Product: Windows Azure Backup Agent -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package
vendor. Action EventsCleanup, location: C:\Program Files\Windows Azure Backup Agent\bin\, command: "C:\Windows\system32\wevtutil.exe" cl CloudBackup
I just wanted to see if anybody else is having this issue?

Restoring from Snapshot and Vault only restores JSON files - no vhd
Question about Azure restores of vhds. Currently I'm testing vhd restores. Only backups older than 7 days are restoring vhd successfully (ie. vault only). Anything newer just restores the json files so I'm assuming there are additional steps. All backups are application consistent.
Thanks

Host Level Backup not Working for One VM in MABS
Hi
We have MABS installed and use it to back up our VMs at the host level.
This is working fine for all VMs except for one.
The error it gives is:
"
- Affected area:RCT\GBYOR-XXXXX
Occurred since:18/10/2018 10:01:33
Description:The replica of Microsoft Hyper-V RCT\GBYOR-XXXXX on GBYOR-XXXXX.Cluster.domain.com is inconsistent with the protected data source. All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check. You can recover data from existing recovery points, but new recovery points cannot be created until the replica is consistent.
For SharePoint farm, recovery points will continue getting created with the databases that are consistent. To backup inconsistent databases, run a consistency check on the farm. (ID 3106)
An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect (0x8007007B))

I've looked up this error, and suggestions are to run DiskShadow /L c:\temp\output.txt
list writers
exit
And examine the output.txt file for '\\' which should lead to any invalid image names that need correcting.
I've tried this on the VM and the Hyper-V host that it is on, however there is nothing in the output.txt files that need fixing.
I've tried the following troubleshooting:
- Restarting the VM
- Restarting the Hyper-V host
- Restarting the MABS server
- Removing the VM from the protection group and deleting the data already held for it in the backup destination, and then adding it back to the protection group
Backups in MABS at the guest level for 'All Volumes' and 'System Protection' work fine for the VM.
Any ideas?

Storage Account for Azure Import/Export
Hello,
My company is currently transitioning from local disk and tape backup to disk and Azure Backup through Data Protection Manager 1807.
We have a large amount of files that we backup still on tape and we'd like to use the Azure Import/Export service to move them in one large chunk offline and sent to Microsoft to upload.
The instructions say that we need to make a Storage Account in the process and currently we have none. All we have is the Recovery Services vault.
Is the Storage Account absolutely necessary for this process and if so, after the initial upload, do we need to keep that Storage Account or can it be canceled/deleted?
Thanks!

Azure recovery really slow
Are there some who have experience/ find a solution with the very low speed with recovery of backup performed with Azure backup agent to Azure from Win 2012 Server I am about to restore about 500GB folders with documents and images from Azure to our server. But have had to give up because the speed is so low that Azure backup drive is unmounted before the job is done, or just close then. I use a 500Mbps fiber connection. Experiencing an average speed 300KB/s or 2.4Mbps 6 hours to restore 8,3GB! |

Reduce Storage Account Size
I'm backing up 4 Vm's and the backup storage is huge.
I've reduced the retention policy down to a few months but the storage used didn't change at all.
How do I reduce the size of the storage used ?

Azure VM Recovery Services Vault
Hi,
- When VM is turned off, Recovery Services Vault Azure VM backup is in "Crash consistency" stage. Does it affect restore (I.E AD, WEB, SharePoint servers) when the backup is in this stage?
These Azure VM are NOT configure for VSS full backup.
- How does Recovery Service Vault backup SQL database/log when the VM is stop?
Thank you

Critical Backup Precheck Status
Hi
Daily LINUX VM backup is finishing Ok,but prechecks status is CRITICAL, when I check the status the message is not clear, any recommendation is available.
Issue Description |
- Backup Pre-check status for this virtual machine is Critical.
Action(s) |
- There are no recommendations available at the moment to ensure successful backups. Check Backup pre-check status after the next backup and perform any suggested or required actions.
Any idea? What type of precheck are performed by Azure? And other question would be if there is some type of alert to be send when backup precheck fails.

Backup policy and retention problem
I'm having some issues with my VM backups on Azure.
I've created a backup with local redundancy and attached to it a Backup policy with daily retention of 2 days per backup.
My problems started when I figured out that the retention was not working as intended: I still have recovery points older than 2 days (6 days old, to be precise), I need those backups to be removed and NEVER kept more than 2 days. My policy seems to be correct but those backups remain.
The VM includes some premium SSD disks, could this mean their backup is kept for that long?
Thanks to everyone who answers this issue!
