Hi all,
Anyone aware of issues with the Azure Backup agent (MARSinstallerAgent v9032) not running a Windows10Pro edition. Running latest version of SlowRing Preview build 14295 160318-1628.
If helpful, I can provide additional information. Client stops responding on the '1/3 initialzing.. ' at startup.
Already did a re-install to no avail.
Cheers, Marcel
Dear Forum Members,
Thank you for your help in advance.
I made an Azure Web App and installed OpenCart.
It's a great test environment for any Web Application.
I have a BizSpark subscription with spending limit.
My account is now disabled.
I would like to backup my existing OpenCart MySQL database to an export file.
How can I do it if Azure account is disabled. I can handle my Control Panel in Portal, but nothing is accessible.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Tamas
I checked the FAQ and I see Windows Server 20008 SP2 Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Foundation on the list but I don't see Small Business Server 2008. I tried to install the agent but stopped when the requirements showed it would install Virtual Server 2005.
Does anyone know if Windows Small Business Server 2008 is officially supported?
Thank you.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to have a confirmation. As I know, it isn't possible to backup an on-prem VMware Linux virtual machine (a Linux vm running on an ESX server) with Azure Backup solution. Is it correct?
Thank you very much
So I have a client who was left high and dry with a server that had not been backed up in over a month. Started the process of moving this client into O365. This past weekend, the server went down and has not come up all the way. There is 1.11TB of data that needs to be moved in to the cloud. Can reach this data through a Windows 7 workstation that has mapped to the drives of the server.
As for the server - nothing can be accessed remotely or locally, installed or retrieved. We have backups, but they were done with the server Backup program built-in to SBS 2011.
So hopes are that we can do a backup into Azure of the 1.11TB data (may be less) from the Windows 7 workstation that has the server drives mapped to it. Would Azure backup be able to read these mapped drives and move the data??
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks,

Sorry, I'm still confused about the subject, wishing MSFT will provide more examples in FAQ/pricing calculator.
Assuming:
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

We would like to switch from our current backup solution over to Azure backup, but there is one limiting factor. Currently, we have multiple VM's each in different VNets. These VM's have SQL Server installed on them.
With our current backup solution, we're able to have continuous protection on these databases, meaning an incremental backup is taken every 15 minutes. However, with Azure Backup it seems that we can't configure a policy to backup a VM more than once per day.
I tried looking at Microsoft Azure Backup Server software to overcome this but the limitations are staggering, mainly because we would have to install it on one server in every VNet (since VNets have no communication between them) and those VM's would have to be joined to a domain just to be able to install it (most are not in a domain).
So what are our options for getting a continuous backup of SQL Server databases on our VM's with Azure Backup, and without using Microsoft Azure Backup Server?
Every night we're backing up three files to Azure. We need to restore these files onto an alternate machine in a different physical location the next morning, right now, it's a manual process which involves logging onto Azure and downloading vault credentials then going through the steps in the "Microsoft Azure Backup" application to recover these three files.
Can these steps be scripted through Powershell or some other method? I've seen lots of articles on how to restore VMs (cloud servers) or SQL databases but none on how to restore simple files that have been backed up.
Assuming I can do this through Powershell, the vault credential only lasts a couple days. Can that be extended or the need to download the credential be eliminated in favor of "certifying" the machine on which the script runs?
Thanks,
Scott
Question from @damdea67 via Twitter:
Hi, i recently setup azure backup, but when i have a look at the dashboard in the old site the numbers and info doesn't add up. e.g. "Total storage consumed in Azure" and "recent jobs" count. I have uploaded over 1.2T but it says 3.8 GB is this common?
Thanks,
@AzureSupport
We have a recovery vault ("host-test-38-recovery-vault") that we want to delete. When we try to delete it, we get the message"Vault cannot be deleted as it contains registered servers Please delete the registered servers and then delete the vault."
However, the VM that had Azure Backup installed on has been deleted, so there's no way to unregister the server. How can we delete a recovery vault when the underlying VM that was backing up to it no longer exists?
This is a vault in Resource Manager.
Thanks for any help or ideas :-)

I am getting a fail when i try and run a Microsoft azure backup! please see below:
10DC10B0 05/2416:53:57.47779WcfClient.cs(969)3D364151-5416-4A4D-B806-E97D960C42E0 NORMALFinished web service call | Params: {ServiceInterface = Microsoft.Internal.CloudBackup.Common.ROCatalog.Interface.IROCatalogExternalChannel}{Description = GetDsVolumeReplicaMap}{TargetEndpoint = https://pod01-prot1.we.backup.windowsazure.com/ROCatalogExternalService.svc}Hi all.
New to Azure, and are on the trial version atm.
I can't figure out how to add a container as a virtual hard drive?
I would like this feature because I'm researching ways that include our company not to have the mess with data safety, redundancy, bitrot and so forth.
Besides, it would be a good thing to setup a FTP server for our clients, so they had acces to their data at all times.
I can find a lot of tutos on how to add a vhd to a VM, but I have no interest in that. I want it to show up in windows.
I'm on windows 10 atm, but I can't imagine it is because it's only compatible with Windows Server 2012, or have native support
Atm i have a program called Stablebit Clouddrive, but it encrypts the data in the cloud, and I would like to avoid that if possible, because that is just something that can fail as well. and if it fails, it fails HARD
With Kind regards
Kim M.
P.S Does anyone know what measures MS is taking against bitrot? The files I would like to store is files that I need to be able to acces in 15 years without any bits flip/flop. I know they store 3-6 copies of the same file, do they just compare the files against each other? How often is that done, inorder to refresh the data?
When I recover data on my Azure Windows Server, it shows the incorrect file dates and sizes in the wizard (an older version than expected). This is happening for many dates and files I've tried in the restore.
The files appear to be being backed up fine and the resulting restored file shows the expected file date and size. I've updated to the latest version of the Azure Backup tool as of last night. The backups all show successful with data being backed up. There are no errors in the Event Viewer CloudBackup category.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Hi
When trying to recover data from Azure Cloud backup, DPM does not show the whole list of folders that have been backed up. I have checked the network to see if there were an overload on the network, but this was not the cause of this issue. It also has nothing to do with concurrent DPM sessions connecting to the Azure servers.
The folders shown in the list below is missing atleast half of all folders which are actually there. The console remains on 'loading more items' and nothing changes. This is consistent with other folders. I have checked the contents of the folders and there is nothing in terms of size that would cause this to occur.
I can confirm that there are a lot more folders in that specific folder as it did show up previously randomly.
I am using MABS to backup to Azure. I have a Protection Group that backs up to Disk (three times per day) and Online (once per day at 20:00 Hrs). When I go to Recovery, it lists the last disk-to-disk backup time as the Online time - for example, last D2D = 18:00hrs, Online reports 18:00hrs also - not 20:00 hrs as set in the Protection Group.
So in a nutshell, the Online backup 'recovery time' stamp has the same time as the last D2D backup (on-premise).
In the Monitoring section, I see the correct time (20:00 hrs) shown for the Online backup job.
Is this a bug?
MABS / DPM version 11.0.50.0
Azure Recovery Services Agent 2.0.8720.0
Hello,
Can anyone advise how do I really know my data is being restored from Online (and not from the Disk backup?). How do I prove this?
Why do I get this Warning under Monitoring - Alerts?
I have the latest version downloaded from Azure.
Azure Agent: 2.0.9037.0 (MABS running on Windows 2008 R2 Datacenter edition - fully Windows Updatepatched). Applied: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3139300
Still get:
Azure Backup raised the following alert for the subscription in use: (ID 33406)
A new version of Windows Azure Backup Agent is available. You can review details about the new version and download it fromhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=229525. (ID 100083).
Heya, apologies if this is the incorrect place to post however was indicated the best place to contact regarding the Azure Backup issue from the portal.
For reference, we have multiple Azure Backup Services set up across (currently) 3 different VMs, 2 of which are on Server 2012 and another on Server 2008. All three were working without hassle originally, however on one of the VMs (a Server 2012 VM) an error is popping up indicating the following:
Following error occurred during Microsoft Azure Backup SnapIn operation.
Error details: The current operation failed due to an internal service error [0x1FBD2]. Please retry the operation after sometime. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Support.
This error has remained even after a reinstallation of the Microsoft Azure Backup client and pops up immediately when trying to either Schedule a Backup, Recover Data or even when attempting to re-register the Server (it has already been successfully registered).
I noted in other posts to email through the relevant error logs to an email waobsupport@microsoft.com however this immediately bounced back indicating the email was not in use.
