    My problem is similar to that described in the thread "DPM Backup of System State failed" posted Thursday, April 30, 2009 11:43 AM.

    In DPM alert:
    "DPM cannot create a backup because Windows Server Backup (WSB) on the protected computer encountered an error (WSB Event ID: 546, WSB Error Code:  0x80780079). (ID 30229 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909FB)"

    The affected machine is running WSS (Windows Storage Server) 2008 SP2 and has WSB (Windows Server Backup) installed.  On that server, when I run

    wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:C:

    The system state backup succeeds and there are are no errors.   However if DPM runs the system state backup as per the error seen in DPM above, on the WSS2008 server there is an error in the WSB logs that says:

    The other thread suggests checking VSS writers but I have been through the output of DISKSHADOW LIST WRITERS and I cannot find any paths that match patterns such as "\..\" or "\\" or "/" that might indicate an invalid path in the registry.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi,

    Note the error shows: <Data Name="BackupTarget">D:</Data>

    Please change the location of the backup file to C: by modifying the PSDatasourceConfig.xml and see if that works:

    Hi,

    You are correct Mike, when I try:

    wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:D:

    I get:

    Error while preparing for backup to your backup storage location.
    Internal Error:  Could not create diff area file on backup target volume.
    The specified backup storage location has the shadow copy storage residing on an
    other volume.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, however the link and instructions you refer to are for DPM 2007, and I am using DPM 2010.  Your instructions were:

    To change the location of the system state backup file

    1. On the protected computer, open PSDatasourceConfig.xml in an XML or text editor. PSDatasourceConfig.xml is typically located at install path\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Datasources.

    2. Change the <FilesToProtect> value from %systemdrive% to the desired location.

    3. Save the file.

    4. On the DPM server, if there is a protection group protecting the system state of the protected computer in step 1, run a consistency check.

    5. The consistency check will fail and generate an alert. Perform the recommended actions in the alert as follows:

      1. In the alert details, click the Modify protection group link, and then step through the wizard.
      2. Perform a consistency check.

    However my PSDatasourceConfig.xml file has no value inside its <FilesToProtect> tags.  Here is my file:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    Do I change the <FilesToProtect/> I marked green above to
    <FilesToProtect>%systemdrive%</FilesToProtect>
    or
    <FilesToProtect>C:</FilesToProtect>
    because for all my servers C: would always be a valid place to do the System State Backup, and %systemdrive% is always C: on these protected servers.  I will try this tonight.

    Hi,

     

    Hm - it looks like it's already configured to be on C: - which is strange.

     <FilesToProtect>C:\WindowsImageBackup\*</FilesToProtect>

    Another option would be to move the shadow storage for D: back onto D: using vssadmin.

    C:\>vssadmin add shadowstorage /for=D: /on=D: /maxsize=10%

    Interestingly, after a reboot of my WSS2008 server yesterday, the System State Backup suceeded last night (onto the D: drive), so if you get the error "Failed to format media" I would try a reboot.

    Still no solution from Microsoft as to why I cannot select the drive that the System State Backup is saved to.  The suggested changes to PSDatasourceConfig.xml did not work.  Now I am forced to have it on my D: drive and because of that I have to keep the shadow copies of my D: drive on the same drive, which is not what we wanted.  But at least now we have a working backup of this server.

    Hi,

    Concerning the problem with the path to the backup drive check the following:

    Make sure the installpath is correct in the registry under: 
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup

    Make sure SYSTEM account has full control of the file:
        C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Datasources\PSDataSourceConfig.xml

    Make sure the C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\LHSystemStateBackup.cmd file is not hardcoded to use D: - it should read as follows to accept the variable %1 which is read from the PSDataSourceConfig.xml to point to C:\WindowsImageBackup

       rem Start a wbadmin.exe to create a systemstate backup
       start  /WAIT %SystemRoot%\system32\wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -quiet -backuptarget:%1

    I've just checked all of those items.  They all appear as you said they should above.

    It gives me a workaround in that C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\LHSystemStateBackup.cmd file could be hardcoded to use C: by changing that line to

       start  /WAIT %SystemRoot%\system32\wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -quiet -backuptarget:C:

    This would work for this particular installation of DPM because in this case I do want the System State Backup to always got to C:.  I will try it tonight and post here if it works.

    The way I understand it is that we can either
    (a) Let DPM decide which drive to use (one with most free space)
    (b) hardcode the drive used for ALL protected servers
    and that we cannot specify/hardcode drives to use on a per-server basis, i.e. you cannot force the use of C: on SERVER1 and force the use of D: on SERVER2.

    I think I would troubleshoot why the setting in the PSDataSourceConfig.xml is not being honored.  Did you follow ALL the steps outlined in the technet article - did you get the alert and follow the link ?

     

    To change the location of the system state backup file

    1. On the protected computer, open PSDatasourceConfig.xml in an XML or text editor. PSDatasourceConfig.xml is typically located at install path\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Datasources.

    2. Change the <FilesToProtect> value from %systemdrive% to the desired location.

    3. Save the file.

    4. On the DPM server, if there is a protection group protecting the system state of the protected computer in step 1, run a consistency check.

    5. The consistency check will fail and generate an alert. Perform the recommended actions in the alert as follows:

      1. In the alert details, click the Modify protection group link, and then step through the wizard.

      2. Perform a consistency check.

     

    By Default, DPM will use the drive with the most free space "at the time of protection" to store the systemstate backup files.  Once configured, it will not change, however, by you modifying the PSDatasourceConfig.xml on each machine, you have direct control over where it gets moved to.

    I had not run the consistency check before.  I have just tried to run it on both my protection groups.  I right click on my Protection Group and select "run consistency check".  However no "Consistency Check" job appears under "Monitoring -> Jobs" (under a filter I created to show all such jobs) and no alert was generated.  I got a message saying "Consistency check would be performed for all those members which are in the inconsisitent state in the selected protection group."  However under the Protection tab, no members were in the "Inconsistent" state.  Does this mean that the consistency check is not running because DPM decides it is not needed? 

    Interestingly, despite the fact that I changed C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\LHSystemStateBackup.cmd to use C: by changing that line to

       start  /WAIT %SystemRoot%\system32\wbadmin.exe start systemstatebackup -quiet -backuptarget:C:

    ...it still shows in the event log that it went to D: on my WSS2008 server.

    Hi,

    1) The CC ran at the PG level will only run a CC against a datasource that is inconsistent.  A CC ran on a data source will run unconditionally.

    2)  It seems that the C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\bin\LHSystemStateBackup.cmd file is not the one being used, Are there any other copies of that file ?   If you rename it, does the DPM backup fail ?

    How do I run a CC against a data source?  On the protection tab if I select the item "Computer\System Protection\System State" for that server, in the action pane the "perform consistency check" option is greyed out.  Same if I right-click on that item.

    As regards LHSystemStateBackup.cmd I will rename it tonight and will see if the System State backup fails.

    Hi,

    The only condition that I can think of that would make the option to run a CC be grayed out is if the data souce is in inactive protection.

    After renaming LHSystemStateBackup.cmd to LHSystemStateBackup_renamed.cmd my system state backup failed with the following error:

    Computer\System Protection (DPMServer)

    		 DPM failed to create the backup. If you are backing up only System State, verify if there is enough free space on the protected computer to store the System State backup.  On protected computers running Windows Server2008, verify that Windows Server Backup (WSB) is installed and that it is not performing any other backup or recovery task.

For resolution actions and more information on these errors, go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734488(WS.10).aspx.

     

    This is my DPM server, not the WSS2008 target I was trying to backup, so I now realise that each server on which an agent is deployed has its own PSDatasourceConfig.xml and LHSystemStateBackup.cmd and you meant I should change the files on the server with the agent where the problem was. That at least explains that.

    Still do not understand why I cannot run a CC manually on a datasource and I can find no documentaion on running a CC manually in DPM 2010 on Technet.  I only have 2 protection groups and both are in use.

    I have changed that to D: to C: now and will reply Monday if that has fixed it.
     
    My apologies for any confusion!!

    The System State backups are now going to C:, and it is succeeding.  The issue is resolved.

    Thanks,

       I have the same problem - System state consistency checks adn recoery points fail on the DPM server's System State, but is suscessful using WSB. In addition, many of my client server recovery points started failing at the same time - same error.  The protection agent on TRGAZDPM01.ryland.com was temporarily unable to respond because it was in an unexpected state. (ID 60 Details: Internal error code: 0x809909B0)

     My PSDataSourceConfig.xml file does not have the wrong drive.  The storage pool isn't anywhere near full. I am getting LOTS of .CRASH files from the DPMRA.  Here are pertinent pieces of an error log:

    This just started last Friday - everything was smooth until then, and I am not aware of any changes made to the DPM server.
