My OS: Windows 10 Pro
Source File Size: Full System Image+Partitions @ approx. 850Gb
Application Used: Windows' native Backup and Restore (Windows 7)
Destination Location: on-site, same LAN, directly connected via Cat6 ethernet
Destination OS: Server 2012 R2
Destination File Size: RAID5 approx. 3.8Tb
What: My PC is unable to backup to my Server (Server 2012 R2) located on the same LAN using 'Backup and Restore (Windows 7)'. Error code: 0x8078015B received.
When: In the past 3 months is when it started. I have been able to backup to this same server using the same steps for almost a year before I received the error. No new hardware or software has been installed since PC was first built.
I built a home server that I have installed and configured Server 2012 R2 on and, for just under a year, I have been backing up my Home Office PC(Win10Pro) at the house to a shared out partition (RAID5) located on this server. About 3 months ago,
it stopped successfully backing up and I started receiving various error codes when the backup would not complete successfully. The same issue occurred when I tried to backup the Home Office PC to a new external HDD. I re-attempt backups about once every 4-5
days with the hopes that it will be successful because it completed once about a month ago. I began using Norton's N360 to perform weekly file backups to the same server for almost a month before that quit working as well. N360 will sit continuosly attempting
to transfer for days without any progress after the first 20 seconds. I selected the main system partition along with all other data partitions in N360's File Backup settings.
Some of the errors that I have received in the past 3 months are listed below:
0x80070079: which said "semaphore time out period expired"
0x8078015B
0x8100002F
0x80070002
My Question: Has anybody had these same issues and has anyone been able to resolve the problem? If a Microsoft tech is reading this please contact me directly and help.
