Failure in SBS 2008 Initial Backup Configuration RRS feed

  • Question

  • We are configuring SBS 2008 backup on a new SBS server installation. The total size of the server's storage is 500GB. I have 2ea USB 1TB drives that we will use for backup rotation. When configuring backup to backup all server drives, the process failes. Here is the content from the SBCW.log.

    Thanks for the help.

  • Hi SupportTeam,

    => When you run the Configure Server Backup wizard from the SBS Console, you may receive the following error message:-

    [Window Title]
    Configure Server Backup

    [Main Instruction]
    The wizard cannot retrieve backup settings

    [Content]
    An unknown problem is preventing the wizard from retrieving backup settings. Please try again. If this problem persists, contact the person or company who provides you with technical support.

    [OK]

    => The SBCW.log under "C:\Program files\Windows Small Business Server\Logs" will show the following error:-

    [16000] 090730.160907.7146: General: Initializing...C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\SBCW.exe
    [6960] 090730.160911.5056: Storage: Found valid target disk: DiskName=USB Device, DiskId=96f7fc2a-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

    There may be a corrupted scheduled backup task.   The backup tasks are located in the following directory: "C:\windows\system32\tasks\microsoft\windows\backup".

     

    Please try the following steps:

    1.  Go to C:\windows\system32\tasks\microsoft\windows\backup, take a backup of Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup file and then delete it.

    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    2. Open registry editor.

    In Windows Vista and in Windows Server 2008, click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.


    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    3. Navigate to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Schedule/TaskCache/Tree/Microsoft/Windows/Backup.

    4. Backup the key Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup and then delete it.

    5. Rerun Configure Server Backup wizard in the SBS console.

     Regards
