Backup Exec 16 VSS issues with server 2012 R2
I have a new setup with Backup Exec 16 installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit. Mostly working fine with 2 virtual hosts and an exchange server, and speed is good. However, we also have a new file server to back up which is experiencing some difficulty. The server is running windows server 2012 R2 and has over 64TB of storage, so we initially ran into the error: Final error: 0x8004230c - 0x8004230c (2147754764) Backup - Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "System?State". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). V-79-10000-11223 - VSS Snapshot error. The Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot technology that you selected cannot snap this volume. Some reasons for this could be: - The snapshot provider that you selected does not support the volume that you are trying to snap. Try selecting the default snapshot provider, and then run the job again. -A disk with a size greater than 63 terabytes or a 4K sector disk may exist on your computer. These types of disks can cause VSS to stop unexpectedly when it creates snapshot. We reconfigured the storage in the RAID controller so that all disks presented to the OS are 62TB or less. All disks are also either 512 or 512E sectors. After running a test backup, the error was gone. However, a week later after migrating data to the new server, the same error returned. Data backs up OK, but volume shadow copy is not used. I've tried the following to resolve the issue: * Rebooting the target server * Removing and re-installing the remote agent, 3 times so far. * Completely rebuilding the Backup Exec 16 server from bare metal. There are no errors in any logs for VSS or VSC. vssadmin list writers shows no issues.(All writers present and stable) When the backup starts, the VSSVC.exe and VDS.exe services show up in task manager temporarily, but the system quickly falls back to normal file copies. VSS fails on all volumes and system state, not just the large ones. All other servers back up correctly. Testing with Windows Server Backup, Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE, and just manually creating a shadow copy on the server all succeed. The only thing I can think of is that the agent is timing out too early or testing for an issue and failing too quickly? I also don't know why the job succeeded once before more data was copied to the server.

BE16 NetApp Cluster Aware Backups
Hi All, Been a while since I have been on here. Does anyone know whether BE16 supports NDMP CAB or in other words SVM NDMP options. Managed to get it working on the older products using node-scope mode, however I see it does not support browsing of the volumes, which is only available in CAB setups, which previous BE products dont support. Thanks Oh, I have looked through the docs that are available so far, but I have not seen anything specific other than "NDMP is supported"

Initial observations from Backup Exec 16 and Windows Server 2016
We've been completing some initial testing with Backup Exec 16 and Windows Server 2016 and thought we'd share the results. 1. The upgrade of the Backup Exec to 16 and then the backup server to Windows Server 2016 went smoothly. 2. System State backups appear to run very slowly whenthe Windows Defender service (Antimalware Service Executable)is running real time scanning. 3. We haven't yet been able to successfully complete a backup of AD DS running on Windows Server 2016 when GRT and consistency checking is enabled. The following errors and warnings are listed: The consistency check of the snapshot for the Microsoft Active Directory, Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) or Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) transaction log ntds has failed. You should check for possible data corruption in the transaction log that is online. VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\servicing\version\10.0.14393.206\x86_installed is not present on the snapshot. VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\servicing\version\10.0.14393.0\amd64_installed is not present on the snapshot. VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\servicing\version\10.0.14393.206\amd64_installed is not present on the snapshot. VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\servicing\version\10.0.14393.0\x86_installed is not present on the snapshot. 4.Our tests of Active Directory show no problems with the consistency of the database and then are no errors or warnings logged on the AD server during the backup.

Hello, We have encrypted our VM thru the VM encryption module provided by VMWare since 6.5 version. As it is not supported by BE 16, we are doing now file level backup. Is there some news regarding an update of BE 16 that will allow block level backup with encrypted VM ?
