Back job fails regardless of destination.

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I have Acronis Backup and Recovery for Small Business Server and although its a brand new fresh installation it simply will not backup.

I originally tried it with a backup drive connected via USB, this failed and so Im trying to another server share. permissions on both were full control to everyone, and no restrictions.

The backup starts, creates the .meta folder and the .lck file but then never starts to create the .tib, after about 45 seconds the backup then fails.

The server is a 2003 SBS server fully patched and logged in with the domain admin account.

I have attached the log file below.

Any ideas?

Gavin.

Hello Gavin,

Thank you for your message and welcome to the forum. I will definitely help you with this issue.

I really appreciate your detailed description of it, because it gives an indication why the backup fails. Most likely it has to do with our low-level drivers responsible for disk operations. If you have this option enabled (Volume Shadow Copy Service), you can try editing your backup task, disable this option and run the backup. I am certain that it will work normally.

However, you probably need this option enabled to create a consistent snapshot of your database. I can recommend the following workaround, try switching to Microsoft VSS, by default Acronis VSS is used. Please make sure that you have recreated your backup task so that this workaround can be applied as well as re-enabled the VSS option in backup settings.

If you continue to experience backup problems, we will need to investigate them. Please collect this report and contact our Support team.

Let me know if you have additional questions please.

Thank you.

Hi,

Turning the VSS off certainly fixed the issue, I have also created the registry entry on the KB to use MS VSS and not Acronis, so this should be fine.

The only question I have is that when we trialled this product on the same server, we didn't have to do this! So why has something changed that would appear to require it?

Gavin.

Having changed the registry entry to use the Microsoft VSS and created a new job, I can report that it DOESNT work, and we get the same error as above!

Turning it off again, allows the backup to run OK.

Gavin.

Hello Gavin,

Thank you for the follow-up.

Most likely our low-level drivers were changed and now interact differently with VSS, that is why there were no problems when you were trialling the software.

To get to the bottom of this issue, please collect this report and contact our Support team so that we can investigate and resolve it.

If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Thank you.
