I am curently having an issue backing up a server with server 2012 on it. I have backup exec 2010 R3 SP4 (installed on server 2008R2) with latest patches, agent is up to date.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Rebooted, both servers.
I had V-79-10000-13305 (recovery volume can't be backed up etc) in the beggining, and then it turned into
- AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\xxx\C:". Advanced Open File Option used: No.
The network connection failed during the snapshot. Check the network, and then run the job again.
- AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\xxx\Shadow?Copy?Components". Advanced Open File Option used: No.
The network connection failed during the snapshot. Check the network, and then run the job again.
- AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\xxx\System?State". Advanced Open File Option used: No.
The network connection failed during the snapshot. Check the network, and then run the job again.
I have mounted the recovery volume per the instructions.
This is a hyperV server, with 2 IP Addresses,1 for server communication and the other is used for the HyperV VM's
I open the backup job, and it takes 20-30 seconds to see the contents of the server. I can look at C, then alternative drives.
If I try to open System State or Shadow copy components, it takes upto 5 minutes to view, and then I try looking at another drive, or all (system state, or random drive letter) and get "An Error was encountered while attempting to browse the contents of the system state. A network connection to the server could not be established"
if I close the backup job and reopen, i can look at the normal drive letters, but again with the system state or VSC will re-occurr.
At some point 2 months ago, this backup worked, and no connectivity issues occurred. I got the V-79 issue first for a few backups, and then for the last month, a random drive on the server wouldn't be backed up,now it is all drives won't be backed up.
VSSAdmin shows all writers stable, but takes a minute or two to display.
