One of our clients has been receiving this error for every backup, on all 6 volumes, since 5/28/14. We had a technician work with SP Support, and they discovered the VSS Writers were in a failed state, so they went through the VSS KB article. This still has not fixed our problem.
Currently, that Tech is out sick, and did not happen to leave a SP Support Ticket # for us to reference, but each log has the following:
I have already added the exception to the windows firewall to allow the ShadowProtectSvc.exe...
I wanted to see how others here handle SQL server backups with DB reindexing.
We have an SQL server that runs an 90 GB database which the vendor requires be reindexed daily, the problem is, this reindex prodeces a 17 + GB incremental backup, which then has to be collapsed to daily and transfered offsite.
Needless to say transfering 18+ GB a day is not fun nor productive.
So how do others handle reindexing databases with shadow protect backups?
When using VirtualBoot to create a VM for one of my servers and creating a VM from an incremental, I receive this error:
"Unable to continue. The HIR opperation failed. Error: 0x000003F1"
&
"The operation did not complete successfully. Error Code: 1009 (0x000003F1). Error Description: The configuration registry database is corrupt."
New backup jobs created (new install). Drive C: and Drive J: (Data) two seprate jobs. Error is "service508Incrementals are not supported on this volume".
Hello,
I have the following problem:
Shadowprotect ist disactivated on one of our client server (the client has multiple Serves, but the problem occurs just on one server).
In the MSP-Portal, I can read that the License has been disactivated, because the server hasn't "call home".
When I click on "Activate" in Shadowprotect, I get the information that there is no activation for this License-Numer.
License number ist correct (never changed) and the server has full access to the internet (other servers in the same network are without any problems).
Hi,
I've seen recommendations to turn of defrag of disks if running continous backups.
But, with the latest versions of windows automatically defragging disk every day, is it now better to leave it running as the extra data from changes to sectors every day will be less of an impact than having totally fragmented disks in a year or two?
Recently after replacing the backup hard drive and copying all the backup files to the new location, my backups are failing with the following errors.
I can successfully verify the destination and browse to the UNC path.
Have repaired Shadow Protect and rebooted the server with no luck
Checked the registry and DiffGenImage is correct, no duplicate name.
Shadow Protect version 5.1.4.32348
I can create a new backup job to the same destination and it works fine. I'm wondering why it's sending an empty password and not opening the file?
I am using ShadowProtect Server in a virtual environment and wanting to use Virtual Boot with VirtualBox
It all works great until I turn on bridged mode on the network adapter in virtual box- the virtualbox machine freezes, the local machine loses access to the internet.
As soon as I switch back to NAT- all is OK.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I have four vm guests that I am backing up to a nas device using contineous incredmental. The nas device then copies the data to an offsite nas device. What I want to do is have each guest start a new full backup on different Fridays. this would allow the full to be copied over the weekend to the offsite nas device. From what I have read I will not ne able to creat this schedule. Is there a way?
Thank You,
Joe

Hi Support team,
Good Morning,
Really i like your storagecraft shadowprotect backup software for our client so we want understand more about this product for my client. I have download this software and install in windows server 2012 R2 64 Bit Std edition on base server and created 2 virtual machine and installed shadowprotect agent in both virtual machine.
I have some quetion so please can you help me on it.
Hello out there,
We have been running StorageCraft ShadowProtect for a few months now. And I wanted to find out, what's the best way to update several servers on the same subnet, or even on different subnets (using MSP licenses here).
We only have about 200 servers and 30 workstations installed right now, on about 30 customers.
But it takes ALOT of time to have to update all of those clients to the newest version.
I am running an incremental backup every 15 minutes on a C: drive.
This is what is reading in the Backup History
Hello All
Please let me know if there are any limitations or additional configurations needs to be done when backing up or restoring Hyper v Generation 2 VM s (on server 2012 R2) with GPT volumes/partitions.
Thanks

Hi,
I have been looking at using ImageReady to check our backup images are good on our remote backup repository.
This is a server 2012 machine.
When I run chkdsk on this machine all images from machines prior to server 2012 give the error: "Errors detected in the uppercase file".
If I run the test from a server 2008 r2 machine the images check out fine, however that option of using an older version of windows to run these checks isn't available - at the remote site there is only server 2012 installed.
Hi All,
I did some searches of the forum for best practices relating to Hyper-V hosts and guests and did not find my scenario addressed completely.
I have a potential customer that would like to migrate from Backup Exec System Recovery Server to Shadow Protect but I need to ensure that their scenario can be accomodated reliably.
They have: SBS 2011
- Win2K8R2 (Host OS) running Hyper-V - C: partition
- Not running MS Exchange Server or Sharepoint
- Shared Files - E: partition
I am using a very OLD version of Shadowprotect (3.3) to back up two Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers. Going back to mid-April I'm seeing the following errors on both servers in the Directory Service log:
Event ID 2089: The directory partition has not been backed up since at least the following number of days:
Directory partition: DC=domain,DC=com
'Backup latency interval' (days): 30
... at least, I _think_ this is an orphan situation.
I have a couple of monstrous -cd.spi files that are actually slightly bigger thant the root spf. If I run image qp on the chain from the newest spi in the folder, one of them is in the chain and the other not. If I run qp from the one that isn't in the chain, it still successfully finds the spf. Sort of a "Y" effect, except that one leg is a lot longer than the other. And, interestingly, a "v" check on the suspect one seems to just sit there and never complete until on control-C it...
