e000ff19 and e000ff16: communications failure SQL & VSS
Hi all. We have a problem with BESR 2010 on 2008 R2 64 bit and a MSSQL server 2008 enterprise on a 2008 R2 64 bit (SQL Agent). The full backupjob is always ok, but incremental fails always with VSS errors, and sometimes with SQL errors: e000ff16 - A communications failure has occurred with a Shadow Copy resource. e000ff19 - A communications failure has occurred with a SQL Server resource. I don't find any solution for this problem, I already searched 4 days long. Yesterday I tested an incr. backup and kept looking at the VSS service (on the client of course): when it shut down because it was idle, I startet it again manually and the backup was then OK. But when the backup runs alone without any intervention, it fails with the errors above and I think it's because of VSS that goes sleeping when it's idle. I already tried to change the backup sequence, doesn't change anything. If you need any other info feel free to ask ! I'm really desperate, and I'm also not a windows expert... Thanks !
ISCSI mapped drives to SAN
Hi all, I am new to BESR Server and have today downloaded the evaluation software. I have a basic question before I start backing up. We have two servers which have iscsi drive mappings to an HP SAN. So we have drives C, D, F (SAN) and G (SAN). The data on the SAN is SQL data. How to I approach this backup, as the F and G drives are too large to fit on the external drive I am using (although they would fit individually). The destination server is offsite, and has plenty disk space (albeit onboard as opposed to SAN). Any suggestions very welcome. Best regards, Graham
BackupExec System Restore: SQL & SharePoint?
I've recently downloaded the trial of Backup Exec System Recovery 2010. We are currently using BE 11d and 12.5 for our existing physical servers, with SQL agents, and Sharepoint agents mixed in. The reason I'm trying BESR 2010 is because we just got involved in VMs, using Citrix XenServer. BE doesnt seem to restore to VMs very nicely from what we've seen or experienced, so I wanted to give BESR a try. I like that it is a more simple of an interface, resembling Ghost products. I've backuped and restored a test VM or two and it seems to work fine. I also like how the backup data that writes to disk can be compressed. Its a time saver for when I want to write backups to tape. Now that I've got VMs backing up using this, I want to explore how this handles backing up Sharepoint and SQL. In BE there are agents needed. Are there agents needed for BESR? I see blurbs that you can do granual backups of Exchange and Sharepoint, but I can't really seem to find detailed documentation on setting this up and/or doing restores (Sharepoint/SQL mainly) Should I shy away from this product for those purposes? Should someone be combining products, or can one do everything? ...p.s. One More quick question... I'm using my trial of BESR 2010 to backup our domain controllers which are VM's. I'm guessing if I needed to do a full restore of one of my 2 DC's, I would be fine... but if I wanted to restore individual AD items... I would not be able to, correct?BESR on windows 2008 R2 64 bit with MS-SQL Express: SQL Service doesn't run
Hi, We have tried a bare metal recovery with IDR on a server like following: 1- Full backup 2- creating the IDR-BootCD 3- (2 weeks later: the test -- backups are running every day: Sunday full, mon-sat incremental) 4- shutting down the server, taking the HDD's out and put some new HDD's in, for testing. 5- Disaster recovery is OK, has worked. 6- When booting the Server, it is impossible to restore the MS-SQL Express Databases, because it's not possible to bring the SQL services up. See Errorlog below. The system protocol says following about SQL: Der Dienst "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" wurde mit folgendem dienstspezifischem Fehler beendet: Der angegebene Ressourcenname wurde nicht in der Image-Datei gefunden..

Questions about BESR Virtual Edition
I have three ESXi4 hosts and 8 guests which include Exchange, Active Directory, SQL, etc. I'm contimplating getting BESR Virtual Edition but I have some questions before I pull the trigger. I know it can backup exchange servers and recover down to the message level but is it a real exchange aware software where backing up will get rid of the logs? Where is BESR VE installed? Can it be and should it be installed on a virtual server? Seems obvious but can it recover down to the file level? Just want to be sure. Would I need different agents for exchange, sql, etc.? Sorry again if these questions seem obvious but I was looking for an faq on this product and couldn't find one.
