I have installed Windows Home Server and connected 3 PC’s to the server.
The version information for WHS is:
Windows Home Server Console: 6.0.1500.6
Windows Home Server Backup & Restore: 6.0.1500.8
Windows Home Server Drive Extender: 6.0.1500.6
Windows Home Server Remote Access: 6.0.1500.6
Windows Home Server Storage Manager: 6.0.1500.8
The automatic backups are working fine for 2 of the PC’s.
The problem PC is a Dell XPS420 running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600.) The PC has 2 500GB Serial ATA hard drives. The system is new as of January 2008. There have not been any hardware failures.
The backup of the drive C: completes OK. The second drive (E: on this system) gets the following error:
Failure Details for Volume (Local Disk):
An unexpected exception occurred on the computer.
NullReferenceException
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at
Microsoft.HomeServer.Backup.BackupOp.BackupOperation.IsSamePath(DirectoryInfo di, String[] path)
at Microsoft.HomeServer.Backup.BackupOp.BackupOperation.GetExcl
The event log shows:
Received abort message from SYSA with reason 7.
I have done some research on this and have followed a suggestion of running a CHKDSK E: /F /R. I have taken the drive out of the backup. I then deleted all backups of the PC and then run the CHKDSK.
I am continuing to experience this error.
I appreciate any help that may resolve this problem.
Thanks.
