I have been using Microsoft Azure from cloud backup of data on Windows Server 2012 Essentials. We'd now like to add more items to the
backup. When using wbadmin to add items to the backup I've been getting the following message.
There are no entries in the server's event logs for this issue.
The More Inforamation link has no information at all.
Is there another way to modify the current backup or to resolve this?
On a Windows Essentials 2012 Server (German) I had Azure Backup up and running for several months.
(Probably) After adding features to support Remote Access, Azure Backup stopped working.
The backup schedule executes and transfers all data, than it constantly fails with the error:
"Fehler beim Vorgang aufgrund eines Schutz-Agent-Fehlers. Wiederholen Sie den Vorgang (0x003E6)" which translates to the english "The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. Retry the operation (0x003E6)".
An update of the Backup Agent to the latest version did not resolve the issue.
Does anybody know details about this error and the reason behind it?

The part of the Azure Online Backup that does the "estimating size of back items" is taking hours to complete. Is there anyway to speed it up? I want to be backing up files right away, not have to wait for an estimate of size.
I had some user learning curve problems setting up Windows Azure Backup agent - so I uninstalled it and tried again.
However, when I try to reinstall it - I get the message that it is already installed.
I think it is only partially uninstalled.
I have setup Azure on W Server 2008 r2 sp1 and have configured vault etc. I am trying to do our initial upload to the cloud storage. It got to @ 96 gb and stopped. The only error I can find is 0x007E3. I have fully patched the server so don't think this is the issue. If I look on the portal storage it says there is @96 gb of data.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello all,
I keep getting this event logged in DPM 2012 SP1 as a Critical error and no matter what I do I cannot get it to disappear.
"Backup policies configured on Windows Azure Backup are out of sync with this DPM server. (ID 33413)"
Coupled with clickable links to "Inactivate" and "Refresh Online Policies". Neither of these seems to do anything that removes this issue from my DPM server.
Backups works and there seems not be any problems with storage space.
The Azure agent seems to be of latest version since there are no messages in DPM about upgrading it and no problems with Online Backup either, certificates and all are all there and works.

Hi
I'm trying to test Azure Recovery Services and have established a Backup Vault and connected a new server to it using the Azure generated certificate. The set-up seemed to be very simple and the installation of the agent went like a dream.
Unfortunately it does not work as after I start a backup I get the error "Engine encountered an unexpected error. Please ....." The corresponding event log entry is:

hello, i'm kicking the tires on the Azure Recovery Services Site agent for Windows 8.1. I like it - seems easy.The question I have:
I notice you have to provide a passphrase. We would like to test this offering with 10 employees but the management of the passphrase is a bit concern. Is there a way from an Azure portal (or other method) to get the passphrase of each client machine? as system administrators, we would like to keep a copy of the passphrase in Active Directory, Azure Portal, or some centralize place (we don't want to count on the user to solely hold that passphrase because if they lose it, they will be out of luck).
can anyone speak to that?
thanks
Hi,
How Can I use Azure to backup an office 365 SharePoint Team Site? I can only find options for backing up actual servers or PC's etc.
Can anyone tell me if the backup process stops the virtual machine I want to backup when it tell that the machine will be set to "Safe Stae" during backup process.
I run a server 2012R2 DC with Hyper-V. with 8 virtual machines.
Hello,
I have a question about Azure Backup.
We as an IT company have an Azure subscription for online backup (in test for the moment) and we are looking for an online backup solution for some of our customers.
Can/may we make different vaults within our subscription en let the customers take their backup in our subscription?
Or does every customer has to have a seperate subscription?
Thanks.

I'm not seeing the expected behavior of Azure Backup regarding retention. Since Azure Backup is charged by the amount of data stored, we intend to keep the cost as low as possible by only storing the most recent backup. That is, we expect to only pay for the storage costs of one day's worth of recover points, which in our case will be one because we do only one backup per day. We are still performing onsite backup, and there we keep many days worth of backup recovery points.
On the Microsoft Azure Backup application's main screen, under "Destination usage" it shows "Retention: 1 days". However, I see under "Available Recovery Points" it shows "Total backups: 15", "Latest copy: 12/29/2014 4:30 AM", "Oldest copy: 12/19/2014 12:35 PM". When I visit the Recovery Services "PROTECTED ITEMS" onhttps://manage.windowsazure.com/, I see the number of "RECOVERY POINT", "NEWEST RECOVERY POINT", and "OLDEST RECOVERY POINT" shown match the same values displayed on the Microsoft Azure Backup application's main screen.
Why is Azure Backup retaining more recovery points than expected? Why is it retaining recovery points for more days than requested?

I downloaded the MS Azure Recovery Agent from the portal and registered and set up the server fine
I set up a quick backup job to test and when I came to run it I get the following error:
I have rebooted the server and still the same error
The service is missing so i guess that's why it won't run but I cant see or find how to get that service installed.
I would not have expected this issue from a clean install?
Anyone help please?
Guys,
can you point me in the direction of some documentation which explains how backup of SQL backup works within the cloud... in particular what happens if i disable the ability of service to see the SQL data...
cheers

I am looking at moving all my backups to Azure, I have set up my first job to back up the 90GB of data from my web server.
Am I correct in thinking that the job i have scheduled to run every day will back it ALL up everyday?
Is there a way I could say run a FULL backup once a week but then everyday only backup files that have changed from the previous day?
This would speed up my backups, use less space and cost less money?
Thanks
