Hyper-V backup Fails
Any suggestions on the error messages below? I am trying to do a full back up to DeDuplicated Disk. The backup server isa BAckupExec Appliance (backup exec 2012). The hyper V server is Windows Server 2008 r2 Datacenter with the agent installed and doing backups. The HyperV Virtual is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with Agent installed and relationship with backup server but no backup regime.
The D:\Virtual Machines directory is where all my virtual machines are on the HyperV Host server. The backup account has Full access to this directory and all its files.
I have another HyperV Host (same model, same windows etc) that is not having this issue.
Media Label: IMG000060 GRT backup set folder: \\.pdvfs\US-ELG-BUEXEC\2\BEData\STHVHD\IMG000060 Shadow Copy Logical Directory Directory \D: Directory \D:\Virtual Machines Directory D:\Virtual Machines\ was not found, or could not be accessed. None of the files or subdirectories contained within will be backed up. V-79-57344-5894 - The object was not found, or could not be accessed (Hyper-V backup). V-79-57344-38721 - Failed to mount one or more virtual disk images: Error mounting disk(s): E_IMG_FS_NOT_FOUND (0xe00084af).
SOLVED:
Ended up being an error in my event viewer that I found.
The issue ended up being with the Distributed Transaction Coordinator... the MS DTC errors in the event logs. I used the following website to help.

Basically it couldn’t find the log directory since in my case it did not exist. I created it and did a restore of the msdtc and the service started without issues.
I ran a backup without the agent installed and it completed successfully and then I installed the agent and did another backup and it again backed up successfully.
Thanks for your help.
