Cannot start backup job - fails with "Job failed because another backup job was in progress."

$
0
0

We have a server that backups locally to an external drive and to Azure. This has been working as expected for several months, but after a job was stopped before completion due to an emergency shutdown for a power outage Azure backups do not complete and give the error message "Job failed because another backup job was in progress." Windows Server backups to external disk still complete as expected, and there do not appear to be any jobs in progress for either Windows Server Backup or Azure Backup.

Restarting the Volume Shadow Copy does not have any affect - we still get the same error message.

Can you please suggest what can be done to clear out this error and try the job again?


Db access while long term retention backup

Hi,

What happens to ongoing operations on db during the process of db backup (say it takes an hour to backup)? Does db go in inconsistent state if some records are inserted or deleted?


Differential backups for long duration

Hi,

I need to save the differential backups on my storage account for future reference (since default retention period is less). How do I achieve this? How to access those automated backups? The long term retention policy is not useful in my case since it does full backup instead of incremental one.

The latest Update Rollup for System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager is: Update Rollup 10 for System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager.

How can I install this uppdate on a Microsoft® Azure Backup Server ?

 (The Update Rollup for System Center 2012 R2 Data Protection Manager does not work on Microsoft® Azure Backup Server, messagebox no product to upgrade was found).

Or is there also an Update Rollup for Microsoft® Azure Backup Server?

Azure Backup Report

Im looking for some way to get a report about Azure Backup.

 

Basically we have a daily increment (snapshot) during the last year around 1GB daily (Just files), but yesterday he had a 38GB of backup and he wants to know why.

 

IM using MARSA (Agent Vault) not MABS, and looking to my own MARSA, I can figure that event clicking on the “More details” info, there’s not relevant about the process..

Even in the Azure portal, there’s no furthers infos about the backup.

Does somebody knows some way to find out why they got or which file got this kind of huge increment?

Licensing query for Microsoft Azure Backup Server, SQL Server 2014

Hi all,

I have installed a Microsoft Azure Backup Server to protect my on-prem VMware servers. When installing Microsoft Azure Backup Server, it installs it with SQL Server 2014 Standard. How is licensing being handled for that SQL Server 2014 Standard? Is there any additional cost or is it covered by the "overall" costs of Azure Backup?

Thanks,

Lukas

New Recovery Services Vault Security Features (MFA) are enabled by default on newly created vaults and can't be disabled.

I have been using ARS Vaults for a couple months with no issues with MARS / MSOnlineBackup PowerShell.

This week I created a new ARS Vault and was unable to insert my passphrase into the MARS Agent (same version of agent I've been using). I get this error referring me to a cmdlet I can't find reference to anywhere else. 

"Set-OBMachineSetting : Passcode is not set. Use Get-AzureBackupPasscodeforCriticalOperations cmdlet to get Passcode.
At C:\src\AzureBackupPoC\azure-backup-poc.ps1:255 char:74
+ ... String $ProvidedPassphrase -AsPlainText -Force | Set-OBMachineSetting

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : SetPasscodeMissing,Microsoft.Internal.CloudBackup.Commands.SetCBMachineSettingCommand
[DBG]: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules>> "

I had not noticed security features until this week. They are being enabled by default on all newly created vaults and I can't turn them off. Immediately upon going into the Properties, Security blade the toggle switches to enabled, before I even touch the MFA dropbox and I can change it, even after choosing MFA = NO in the drop down. The behavior is the same whether I create the vault with the portal or powershell. I need to be able to turn off security, at until I figure out how to get the passcode from powershell. The command called out in the error message doesn't seem to exist for me. So I'm stuck. 

If you can tell me 1) How do not have security auto-enabled 2) How to disable it from the portal or from powershell 3) Where I can find updated PowerShell modules that understand the new ARS Vault security features I will be grateful. 

Thanks!!

The total size of the volumes set to backup is less than 1700GB.

Is there something that I am missing?

I know there is a limit on W2K8 of 1700GB but the local data is less than that!

Thanks, M

Error During Install of Azure Backup Setup

I initially downloaded the backup software from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49170

I got to the part in the install to add credentials and as per microsoft usual, it didn't work.   My time is sync'd.   So, I uninstalled and restarted and tried to start from scratch.   Now however I get to the Agent Install portion of the setup and I get:

"Error Starting the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services Agent Setup Wizard"

The Microsoft Azure Recovery Services installation failed. All changes made by the Microsoft Azure Recovery Services installation to the system were rolled back. (ID: 4023)

Manually install Microsoft Azure Recovery Services. For instructions, see "Manually Installing Prerequisite Software" in the DPM Deployment Guide.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Error installing agents Microsoft Azure Backup Server v2 on production servers

I installed Microsoft Azure Backup Server v2 in a Windows Server 2016 OS.

When I try to install the agent in a server I received the following error:

Install protection agent on myServer.mydomain.com failed:
Error 346: DPM is unable to retrieve the configuration information from myServer.mydomain.com.
Error details: The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed
Recommended action: Ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service is started. If the firewall is turned on, on myServer.mydomain.com make sure that an exception for WMI is created.

The firewall on both machine are off. I verified all services and they are started. 

I installed the agent manually in some servers but the Microsoft Azure Backup Sever Console doesn.t detect the servers that have the agent installed. What happend with this? Thanks for any help.

Windows Server backup and Azure Backup

Hi,

I would like to have two have two backup solutions, my first option would be to use Windows Server backup 2012 R2 to backup my data to an external USB drive.

I would then also like to use Azure backup to backup my files and folders to the cloud.

1) Can I use both Windows Server backup and Azure backup on the same Windows server 2012 R2 providing they are not backing up at the same time?

2) I use Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, with the essentials experience role installed....can I use the regular Windows Server MARS agent?

Thanks

SQL Server databases backup on Azure VM

$

I have two questions regarding SQL database backup on Azure VM:

1. Does "Azure backup for SQL VM" allow backup of databases in SQL Server named instances? 

If we install two SQL Server instances on same Azure VM, Automated backup does not consider the named instance. So my question is that if "Azure backup for SQL VM" will also follow the same approach.  

2. I don't see Microsoft backup Server (MABS) and System Center DPM as an option to backup SQL Server on Azure VM. Can't we use them for instances in Azure VM? 

Azure file backup

Hi there,

I have been asked to look into backup solutions by my work, they are insistent on a cloud backup solution hence why i have been looking at Azure alongside other options.  

From my reading i have read that Azure, unless you are confident/comfortable using powershell you would need a third party backup software to manage the Azure backup in to the cloud.  Is this correct?

If this is the case, is there any recommended 3rd party software?

Thank you in advance

Hellow, All

I created a VM with Managed Disks(4 data disks), and configured Azure Backup.

As a result, there are Restore-Points of File-System Consistent only.

I hope that Azure Backup can backup the Managed Disk VMs with Application Consistent backups.

Would you like to tell me how I can get Application Consistent backups?

Best regards,

Azure recovery services agent error 0x1d4c2 error

Hi Everyone,

Apologies if this should be in another forum category...

I am having problems backing up one volume (C drive) on a 2008 sp2 server.  It was working up until about a week ago without any problems.  

I have gone and checked that there are no double slashes in the registry entry hklm\software\microsoft\windows azure backup\config\scratch location

I have uninstalled the program and deleted the old paths twice.  I have checked that the C drive volume (and others) are set to no limit for shadow copies.  I have also installed it onto the D drive instead of c:\program files...

I am running the latest agent so that is all up to date.

Lastly, the backup works for the D drive, it's only the C drive that it fails on.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
