    Backup Exec from Veritas not able to perform a GRT backup


    I've been going round and round with Veritas on why a Hyper-V Gen2 VHDX backended server cannot be backed up for GRT restores. For the last 5 weeks they've had me running logs to try to figure out why. All other virtual machines backup properly as well as the Hyper-V server itself. The problem seems to be is it cannot mount the VHDX to run a catalog of the machine. The virtual machine is a basic disk secure boot machine within a domain running Windows 2022. The Hyper-V server is running Windows 2022 and outside of a domain. It's a non-domain joined server mainly for recovery purposes in

    Backup Issue - Microsoft 10 - Cannot perform initial backup

    Question

    • Backup Exec from Veritas not able to perform a GRT backup [​IMG]

    Applies to

    5 views Backup Issue - Microsoft 10 - Cannot perform initial backup




    My backup stubbornly refuses to run. I can't run the initial backup, therefore the file history backups don't run either. This has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. Suggestions I've received have not worked so far. Following is the problem
    and the failed resolution attempts:

    • I get this message from the Event Log:

    Unable to scan user libraries for changes and perform backup of modified files for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

    Event ID - 201

    Level: Error

    User - System

    *** ---- There is no config file at this directory location. The contents of the location are:

    catalog1

    catalog2

    config1

    config2

    • In another thread from July, someone suggested checking a particular service (I forget the name just now) is running. It is.

    • Two days ago a Microsoft employee suggested the following steps. These steps resulted in no change, still no backup:

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft community.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to start and stop the services “Windows backup” and “volume shadow copy” and check if it helps.

    • Press “Windows+R” and in the run command box type “services. MSc”.
    • Search for the service “Windows Backup” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not, click on “OK” button. I suggest you to stop and start the service again.
    • Once done again search for the service “Volume shadow copy” double click on it and check whether the service is started or not. I suggest you to stop and start the service again, click on “OK” button and
      check whether you can perform backup successfully.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.



    • I performed these steps multiple times. The backup still crashes, with the same error message. In addition I collected the following error message, but only one time:

    Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\Papa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config

    Event ID: 200

    • Can anyone help me with this stubborn problem?

    Thank you in advance.

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.

    Backup Exec from Veritas not able to perform a GRT backup

    Need 2TB of cheap cloud storage for my Veritas System Recovery backup

    My issue now is finding a cloud storage service that offers the kind of performance that will work with the files sizes I'm dealing with. At this point I don't think it will be possible to find a cloud service that will work.

    When I started this thread, I was looking for cloud storage to store my Veritas full and incremental image files, full backups which range from 53 gb to 300 gb for each drive and run weekly, and incremental backups which can be as much as a 2 - 4 gb for each drive daily. Based on the fastest service I can find so far my full backups would take 1.25 hrs, 5 hrs, 7 hrs, 2 hrs and 4.25 hours respectively to transfer to the cloud and as much as 45 mins for each incremental daily. Veritas currently performs the backup to an internal SATA drive and then copies the backup to an external USB attached SATA drive. My idea was to then have Veritas copy the backup file to a cloud service as part of the backup job.

    A NAS drive would provide another layer of protection in addition to my internal SATA drive backups and my external USB attached SATA drive backups but it does not provide any protection in the case of a malicious attack like ransom ware, so I need to step back and rethink the situation.
