Subject: RE: [Bacula-users] Windows client VSS

Some quick thoughts:

1)      It says “Windows Home Server” in the message. There exists no 64 bit version of that, AFAIK.

2)      “wmic OS get OSArchitecture” works on Vista + later only.
The fastest way on all from Windows 2000 onward is [Windows key]+[Break]. The System Properties window that pops up will tell you if it’s 64 bit. If it doesn’t seem to tell you anything about that, it’s 32 (for instance on Server 2003/32 it just says “Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2”).

3)      I thought of the heartbeat interval too, until I noticed that the dropped connection was between Director and SD.
I don’t consider it very likely that there’s a router or a firewall between those, and a simple (layer 2) switch shouldn’t cause this problem.  A layer 3 switch could, but I wouldn’t expect to find one of those in a network with home server.  The switch would probably cost more than the equipment connected to it.

So basically, I’m jumping into this thread, but I don’t know the one and only 100% correct answer either :(

wmic OS get OSArchitecture

 

Thank you,

Are you sure this is a 32-bit Windows OS? If this is a 64-bit OS, then you need to install the 64-bit version of Bacula client instead of the 32-bit version.

This is more likely to be the root cause of this error. You can troubleshoot the connection between this Windows client and your Storage Daemon, or post your bacula-dir Storage stanza here.

Hello,

Are you sure it is a whole joblog? It is very strange i.e. information about VSS Writers never appear at the end of the log.

You can display a joblog with bconsole command:

* list joblog jobid=179

And show us the output.

Hi Pavel,

We didn't find any error in VSS list writers all the VSS writers are stable and no error in event log.
All the windows 2003 servers are having issue with bacula backup VSS enabling.

NT backup is running successfully with VSS enabled on all the windows 2003.

 

Thank you,

Hi Ankush,

In win 2003 the VSS service might be disabled or misconfigured. Please take a look:

To check if everything is working:

vssadmin list writers
This has to provide a listing of writers. If there is no listing and errors in the Event log then:

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184):
Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\Subscriptions
and Restart:
    COM+ Event System
    COM+ System Application
    Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider
    Volume Shadow Copy
or Restart Windows

If previous step doesn't work then:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032)
Apply MicrosoftFixit50633.msi or manually do:
    cd /d %windir%\system32
    Net stop vss
    Net stop swprv
    regsvr32 ole32.dll
    regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
    regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
    vssvc /register
    regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
    regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
    regsvr32 es.dll
    regsvr32 stdprov.dll
    regsvr32 vssui.dll
    regsvr32 msxml.dll
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Note The last command may not run successfully.

If previous step doesn't work then:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349)
Apply WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB940349-v3-x64-ENU.exe for x64 system
And, possibly, do previous steps after that.

Best regards,

Pavel

Hi Team,

 

Hi Team,

We are running Bacula server(7.0.5) on RHEL 6.x.

If I disable VSS then Windows client get backup and if I enable VSS (default is enable) backup failed.

I need backup with VSS enable.

 

Is Bacula support all windows version with VSS enable?

 

Thank you,
