Azure SQL backups on Azure VMs with SQL Server

Hi 

Trying to configure Azure Backups for SQL Server on Azure VM

We chose Recovery Services Vault and start discover - works fine - when trying to setup backup we get error UserErrorSQLNoSysadminMembership.

We see on the database VM that we have service Azure Backup Workload Plugin Service running under account NT Service\AzureWLBackupPluginSvc -- this account must be added to SQL Server as sysadmin, BUT...the account cannot be found ??

What can be wrong here?

Best regards,

When I on-board an on-premise Server to Recovery Services Vault, there is no indication to Server is on-boarded

Hello,

the Azure Backup portal appears too basic and almost like version 0.1 alpha as it is not particular initiative and does not show you which nodes are currently on-board (unless I am missing something).   

For example if I on-board a node the Azure Automation, State Configuration (DSC). There is a 'Nodes' column under which you can see all the nodes (computers) that are on-boarded to this service (regardless of the fact they have been check at this point or not).

I was expecting something similar in Azure Backup whereby I can see if a particular node (computer) is on-boarded to the service or not. Then I could see if the node has been backed up or not and the last time it was backed up. It appears there is no information on the node until you have done at last one backup?

is there a way (perhaps using PowerShell) to see all the nodes (computers) on-boarded to the vault regardless of their backup state (e.g. not backed up for example).

Thanks

can someone please help with the following

when I try to use the PowerShell cmdlet Set-OBMachineSetting I get the following error

Set-OBMachineSetting : The current operation failed due to an internal service error "Resource not provisioned in

The node (computer) is an on-premise 2019 Core Server that was previously on-boarded to Azure using the Start-OBRegistration  cmdlet. This registration was successful.  I have generated and used a new PIN but still get the same error.

Moving Azure Backup

Can anyone help me before I go mad?

 

I have a bunch of production servers which were built as part of a proof of concept design by someone. They all have Azure backup enabled. The backups are configured to a Recovery Services Vault with LRS (for cost).

The service has now gone live and I need to urgently change the backup from LRS to GRS in case we have a disaster in the region where the servers are located. I need the backups out of region to recover from.

I understand that once the first backup is saved to the vault it disables the ability to change the vault to GRS.

I have done the following:


  1. Created another recovery vault as GRS in the same resource group within the same region.
  2. Stopped the backup on a test server (backing up to the LRS vault)
  3. Deleted the backup data from the vault on the test server -  I now see a message advised that there is a 14 day (soft delete) period.

I have tried to configure the backup on the test server to the new GRS recovery vault but its not available as a server to backup.


Is this because of the soft delete feature? will I need to wait 14 days before I can move the backup?

If I do need to wait 14 days can anyone advise how I can move the backups to GRS without having no backup for 14 days?

Thanks

Migrating backed up data to another Recovery Services vault

Hello,

I have a few questions.

1) I have been backing up to GRS for quite some time, and I'm trying to migrate to LRS for more recent data, and Archive Storage for older data. Can I automate either of those, using the Microsoft Azure Backup tool?

2) I created a new LRS, and started backing up to it, and it looks like I have no access to the old GRS for restores.

3) If I won't be able to access the old GRS, how do I delete the files from it?

Thanks!

Cannot schedule initial offline backup due to error message about missing Azure PowerShell - even though I've installed it.

September 23, 2019, 3:12 am

Opened MARS Agent to do an initial offline seeding backup.

After entering:

- folders to backup,
- schedule,
- retention (defaults),
- and then staging location, storage account, etc
tried to go to next page, and saw error message that MARS Agent could not find Azure Powershell.

Error message gave a MS website to obtain this from but it redirected to a MS page with nothing relevant.

Googled this one:

  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/powershell/azure/install-az-ps?view=azps-2.6.0

which instructed to:

  1. Open Windows Powershell (subsequently found it was necessary to do this as Administrator)

  2. Run: Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser (note that this is just for current user).

Website warned about "untrusted repository" messages; to which the answer should be Y to proceed.

Ran the above, but this resulted in error demanding that NuGet provider be installed first.

Did this via:

  Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force

which I assume worked (after accepting source not trusted) because returned to command prompt.

Then ran the Azure Powershell install command again, and answer Y to "untrusted repository" again.

Seemed to work but, on retry of setting up scheduling, it failed with same error. So restarted computer.

Tried to install Azure Powershell again, but this time got error about missing part of path

C:\Users\myusername\OneDrive\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Az.Accounts\1.6.1'

(and in File Explorer, there is no WindowsPowerShell folder under OneDrive\Documents).

Thinking that the issue might be due to installing only as current user, tried:

  Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope AllUsers

which seemed to be running fine (flashing text in green panel at top of Windows PowerShell window).

Execution seemed to complete normally. (Just returned to command prompt with no error message).

MARS Agent was already open so tried to complete the config but got same error, so reboot.

Tried to use MARS Agent again to schedule the initial offline backup, with the same error message result, and with immense frustration at over 2 hours spent doing what probably should have taken only 15min.

Please help! :)

Moving to LRS vault

Since one can not just change the vault type, one must stop and delete the protected items from the vault and then recreate the backups in the new LRS vault.

Was working fine til now there is some soft delete option added to the mix (looks like as of august) so do i really have to go 14 days without a backup because of this?   How Microsoft likes to lock one into the higher price GRS vault as much as possible

I really hope this isnt the case and that there is some way to get the backup going again in the new vault immediately.

Can not restore our data

We are backing up our fil share data from Windows Server 2008R2 with Azure Backup  two times a day. One PC got infected with a crypto-virus and all the common shares got encrypted. We have isolated it to this computer and taken it offline. All we need to do now is to restore the original data from Azure. We have been using this solution for years and restore have never been a problem in the past. We are using the latest Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent 2.0.9169.0 available in the portal.

(I can not put the link in before my account is verified, but it is a screen dump of the Recovery Job Failed pop up)

Microsoft Azure Backup was unable to complete the operation in the allotted time.

Wait a few minutes and then try the operation again. If the issue persist,

please contact Microsoft Support (0x1FBDF)

We have tried this on the original server and on a separate Windows 10 PC.

We have access to the service and can browse the restore points.

When we select the restore point from just before infection, it works for about 40 to 90 minutes and fails.

We have tried both full and partial restore. The partial restore will sometime mount the drive, but it is not accessible.

The backups keeps going with no errors. Fortunately we have 60 days retention.

Where do I go from here?

I selected a folder when I started the backup job using Mars agent. As of now the total backed up size has surpassed the folder size which I had selected. It means it is taking full disk backup. Any suggestions?

Retention period after stopping backups and decomissioning physical server

We've been backing up On-Premises servers using Azure Backup.  If I stop the backup and retain the data, will it continue to age out per the retention period?  I want to retain the data, but also want to ensure that it gets smaller over time.

We're going to decommission a server completely.  Is there a way in the Azure Recovery Services Vault to see how much backed up data is related to this physical server and if that number is decreasing over time?

Thank you.

I have the following requirement :

Using an on-premise Azure Backup Server. All workloads will be on-premise only. No workloads on Azure. A backup copy will be replicated from the local storage to Azure Backup Vault.

Using on-premise MAB server to backup VMware environment to local SAN storage A local backup repository is replicated up to Azure.

STEP 1 Recover workload in Azure

Setup MAB in Azure and link to Azure Vault. Recover 4 x VMs in Azure using MAB (backup data is already in Azure Vault) Configure Azure VPN Gateway for access

STEP 2 Shift workload back to on-premise How to go with this? Is purely using MAB sufficient? Azure site recovery? How is the flow like?

Hope support to understand this !

Azure File Sync

Hi,

We are looking to entertain Azure Files to store some important documents on the cloud and I had some concerns. Our files are currently stored on a NAS server and they are recursively embedded with many folders. My questions are:

1.) Can you move files to Azure Files if the path exceeds the 260 character limit? (currently, I can get passed these limitations locally by using robocopy, changing the max_path constant, or by using \\?\)

2.) Is it bad practice to store these long path files on Azure?

What are your thoughts about this? Is there a KB regarding this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm setting up a physical backup appliance and connecting it to our trial azure account but the Cloud DR app on the appliance states "Client has no permissions to any subscription." I receive this message after entering in the Directory ID, application ID and key value.  I know the values I'm entering are correct because prior to this error I was getting a different message stating one of those fields were incorrect.  I just need to find out how and where to grant the appliance permission to the cloud storage.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Python API - Restoring VM from Backup

October 22, 2019, 6:37 am

Hi, I'm looking for examples of how to use this python api class "IaasVMRestoreRequest class"  in a python script. I want to script a restore of a vm from a backup as we have a requirement to do this and perform a number of tests against the restored vm every week. The number of vm's will increase overtime so it is a perfect candidate for automation. I relatively new to python and azure and as such I'm struggling to read the api reference as a lot of it comes without examples so I'm stumbling about in the dark. If I had access to a few examples I'm sure I could work it out from there.

I'm kind of going in this direction 

from azure.mgmt.recoveryservicesbackup import RecoveryServicesBackupClient
from azure.common.client_factory import get_client_from_cli_profile

def run_example():

    recovery_service_backup_client = get_client_from_cli_profile(RecoveryServicesBackupClient)

    recovery_service_backup_client.restores.trigger('')


    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_example()

but I don't even know if this is the right direction to be heading.

If anyone can point me to some good examples of this or can post an example of how to make use of the API here I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks
