sbs backup / volume shadow copy problem

Background: I bought a new hard drive for our server (SBS 2003), and needed
to migrate from the old drive to the new. I installed Seagate's (Acronis)
DiscWizard software, and copied the partitions to the new drive. Booted to
the new drive, and for the most part, everything worked.

Problem: The built-in SBS Backup no longer works. Apparently DiscWizard
clobbered the Volume Shadow Copy Services by installing its own, and not
properly restoring Microsoft's during uninstall. Seagate's tech support was
(as expected) no help, which brings me here.

Errors: This is where I stand right now. In Server Management, it says
"Backup Configuration Wizard has not been run, or backup has been disabled."
I click Configure Backup, and walk thru the wizard. After clicking Finish, I
get a message box:
Backup Configuration Wizard - An unexpected error occurred (80070057). The
parameter is incorrect.

At the end of BackupWizard.log, this is what I get:
Calling CommitRetention()
Error 0x80070057 returned from call to CommitRetention().
Backup Wizard finished with error code 0X80070057.

If I try to force a backup, I get this in the latest sbsbackuplog##.log file:
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230f.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f
Aborting Backup.

If I right-click the C: drive, Shadow Copies tab, I get this:
Failed to retrieve volumes that are eligible for shadow copies.
Error 0x8004230f: The shadow copy provider had an unexpected error while
trying to process the specified operation.

I've googled and googled and googled and tried everything that I remotely
thought would help... reinstalling Administrative Tools, reinstalling SP2,
re-registering files, applying hotfixes, etc.

I think that if I could somehow reinstall all the VSCS stuff, everything
would go back to normal... but that's just a thought.,
I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks!
Dan

A thought... (not sure if this will work)

Re-run the SBS Backup wizard and on the "Storage Alloaction for Deleted
Files and Email" screen, uncheck "Enable periodic Snapshots of user's shared
folders". Then finish the wizard. Now go to My Computer | rt. click the C:
drive | Properties | Shadow Copies, and highlight & delete any scheduled
Shadow copies for any partition. Now go back and re-run the SBS Backup
Wizard again but this time enable the "Periodic Snapshots".

Hi Merv, thanks for the response. I'm not seeing the screen you mention
anywhere in the wizard. These are the screens I get:

Welcome
Modify backup settings (change existing backup settings or do not use)
Backup Location
Backup Data Summary
Define Backup Schedule
Completing... (Finish screen)

I tried deleting the Small Business Backup Script.bks thinking that's why
maybe it was skipping those screens, but no luck.

Thanks,
Dan

No, not the Modify screen. It's the Configure Backup screen. :-)

How do I get there? When I click Configure Backup, that's what I get.

Sorry about that Dan. I was trying to do it from memory (almost always a
bad idea)...

The "Storage Allocation for Deleted Files and Email" screen should come
right after the "Define Backup Schedule" screen. It allows you to set
"Deleted Item Retention" for recovering mail messages and also to set the
Volume Shadow Copy space requirements.

If you don't see it in the Configure Backup wizard, you should have a link
on the Manage Small Business Server Backup page for "Modify Storage for
Deleted Files and E-mail" which will take you directly into it.

FYI, I'm running the wizard from the Server Management app. I just realized
there were two other options under Configure Backup; (1) Modify Storage for
Deleted Files and E-mail, and (2) Configure My Documents Redirection.

If I run (1), I don't have the choice of any options; it goes straight to
the Finish screen, and says:
The following settings were made regarding deleted items:
No disk space was reserved for deleted files.
Deleted e-mail messages will not be retained.

If I click Finish, I get the same error as I do when running the Configure
Backup wizard.

(2), I have the option to redirect all my documents folders to the default
shared folder..., redirect all my documents folders to a network folder...,
or do not redirect my documents folders. If I select the latter, I get a
confirmation message, and the screen closes. It did not have any positive
effect on the backup.

Anything else I can try?

the Finish screen, and says:
The following settings were made regarding deleted items:
No disk space was reserved for deleted files.
Deleted e-mail messages will not be retained.

If I click Finish, I get the same error as I do when running the Configure
Backup wizard.

(2), I have the option to redirect all my documents folders to the default
shared folder..., redirect all my documents folders to a network folder...,
or do not redirect my documents folders. If I select the latter, I get a
confirmation message, and the screen closes. It did not have any positive
effect on the backup.

Anything else I can try?

Thanks. The registry key is present, with a bunch of settings within.

Anything else?

Hi Dan,

But I'm wondering if the registry is hosed and applying the hotfix might
rebuild the registry key properly? I can't find anything else that might be
helpful.

Since your restore of the image was apparently not entirely sucessful, your
entire server configuration is suspect. And of course, the Seagate
DiscWizard is not supported on Windows Server 2003. A call to Micosoft
Support ($) may be able to get you back up and running (but MS generally
doesn't support restores from image on servers or workstations).

At this point, you might try reinstalling SBS SP1...

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Or start again with a fresh image...

This thread mentions DriveImageXML
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...db9a7a9552367a

I've never used DriveImageXML before others in this newsgroup have indicated
that it works with servers. Of course you would need to reimage your
original drive. There are also other commerical programs ($) that do
imaging well (StorageCracft's ShadowProtect for one).

Hi Merv,

I requested the hotfix for the registry key.

Curious, why would I install SP1 when I already have SP2?

Regarding the DiscWizard issue, the actual imaging process worked fine. It
was the fact that DiscWizard itself installed some of it's own VSS stuff that
broke Windows'. At the time [9/11/07], DW installed just fine on SBS2003 -
but the latest version from their web site will not... so they apparently
realized there is a problem and clearly don't support the OS anymore. It
wasn't obvious when I did it.

Anyway, I'll keep the DriveImageXML in mind for next time :-)

You may have Windows 2003 SP2 installed but not SBS 2003 SP2 (which doesn't
exist; only SBS 2003 SP1 has been released at this point in time). My
thought was to reinstall SBS 2003 SP1 over the top of your current setup to
see if that fixes the problem.

You know Dan, if just reapplying SBS 2003 SP1 doesn't fix it, it may be at
the Windows OS level (especially since it involves Shadow Copy). You might
need to so a repair install of Windows 2003 (boot from SBS 2003 SP1),
followed by applying Windows 2003 SP2 and then, possibly, SBS 2003 SP1
again. I have a feeling that this may be the best approach.
