DPM Agent Communication Error

$
0
0

We get the following error sporadically, and it seems to always deal with an Exchange Server service stealing the DPMRA port. Is there any way to get this to stop. We have to put the mailbox server in 2010 into DAG maintenance and restart services. This is not optimal. The below error is what we receive. Seems to be the Microsoft Exchange Replication Service:

DPM failed to communicate with servername because of a communication error with the protection agent. (ID 53 Details: Server execution failed (0x80080005))

We run DPM 2012

Thanks


Exchange Backups Randomly Fail with "Access is denied (0x80070005)"

$
0
0

I have several DPM 2012 R2 Update Rollup 3 servers. Each is backing up several of our Exchange 2010 SP3 Update Rollup 6 mailbox servers.

Randomly, one or more backups will fail with:

Data consistency verification check failed for LOGS of Exchange Mailbox Database ExchangeServer MDB1 on ExchangeServer.fqdn.here. (ID 30146 Details: Access is denied (0x80070005))

The error will go on to say:

Recommended action: Either the database files are corrupt or the proper versions of the Eseutil.exe and Ese.dll files are missing.

I do have the latest versions of ESE.DLL and ESEUTIL.EXE on the DPM servers.

The thing is, this is completely random. It will randomly affect one MDB on a server, while the other MDBs on the same server are fine. Then the next scheduled backup, the one giving the error will backup just fine. Also, if I manually back up an affected MDB, it goes fine. It also doesn't affect all the Exchange servers in any consistent way. Again, it's completely random from what I can tell.

Backing up the same exact Exchange servers with older DPM 2012 (not R2) servers was fine. I never saw this error. It's only started happening since I switched backups over to newer DPM 2012 R2 servers (happened on both UR2 and UR3).

Any ideas why these jobs are randomly failing, but then fine the next time?


Unable to configure Cloud protection due to Exchange version

$

I'm trying to configure cloud protection for our Exchange server (and several others but they seem to be working).

Versions etc.

Exchange 2013 (Version 15.0 (Build 847.32 w/ all updates) (Windows server 2012 R2 w all update)

DPM 2012 R2 (Version 4.2.1254.0  w/ all updates) (Windows server 2012 R2 w all update)

Windows Azure Backup

When I select my protection group and press the button to "add online protection" the DPM console window crashes. I then tried to modify my protection group and add Online protection that way. I'm then faced with the following error message: "DPM Online protection is not supported for Exchange 14. Protect Exchange using Disk/Tape based protection. ID: 32514". The "More information" on the error message leads to a 404. If I try to enable online protection for our other protection group I don't get any errors.

The error message leads me to believe that it's not recognizing the correct version or that something in my exchange server is not upgraded/updated correctly. Exchange was migrated from 2010 to 2013 about a year ago.

Anyone got any ideas?

Johan

Folks,

I am getting the following error when, I am trying to protect Echange 2003 Sp2 with DPM 2010, do you think if I use the Eseutil.exe and Ese.dll  of  exchange 2007  that will work ?

Upgrade from DPM 2012 SP1 to 2012 R2 Backup Exchange 2010 DAG

Hello,

I have a DPM 2012 SP1 that backup Exchange 2010 DAG. The DPM 2012 SP1 runs backup of Exchange from the third instance of each database.

I plan to upgrade to DPM 2012 R2:

Can I install a new server with DPM 2012 R2 and backup the second instance of each Exchange database?
Should I upgrade agents on each mailbox server to dpm2012 R2 i order to complete the upgrade/coexistence?

Backup of Exchange DAG database through DPM2012

Hi,

We have a DAG setup and taking the database backup through DPM 2012.

We have enabled backup from both the nodes in protection group for taking database backup but while recovering we are able to find the recovery points only for one node where the database is mounted. Please clarify me do we get recovery points for both the nodes or the node where the database is mounted.

Thanks

Sunny

Do not See Exchange applicatoin has an option to pick under protection group

I am trying to create a protection group for Exchange 2010. When it comes down to picking the servers and directories...I don't see an option for "Exchange 2010 Databases" as per the screenshot on Microsoft's whitepaper on Exchange 2010 and dpm

Is something not configured correctly?


DPM Transfer rate

$

we have 2 dpm 2012 R2 UR2 servers backing our 2010 SP3 DAG databases, one backs up the active DBs and the other the passive copies.

I have noticed significant difference in the data throughput where the active copies get backed up in minutes ie. 1-2GB per minute whereas the passive copies get backed up at 100-200mb per minute.

i know the active copies get backed up with the exchange store writer whereas the replication writer backs up the passive copies, is this by design?

we are only taking a nightly sync once of the data

currently the databases in total are <200GB but we are only part way through our migration so this will incrrease 3-4 fold in the next 6 months.

is this the best way to back up the data in two locations without transfer across the WAN links

Delete disk backup recovery point

Hi Guys,

Am using DPM 2012 SP1 version 4.1.3313.0

Looking to delete the disk recovery points & using the script mentioned int he gallery - http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/DPM-2012-R2-Remove-6167f338

Somehow when i run the scripts and follow the steps till recovery points there are approx. 192 numbers out of which am not able to distinguish which one is tape and disk recovery point.

I changed my retention from 15days to 5days the older recovery points are not getting removed automatically instead of the scripts i have ran Removeinactiverecoverypoint.ps1, removerecoverypoint.ps1 & pruneshadowcopiesDpm2010.ps1

Somehow i managed to shrink but that not what am looking for. I want to delete the older recovery points than 5days and using that gallery script how can i identify which one is tape / disk recovery point.

Note: i dont want to delete the tape recovery points.

Exchange database restore fails with due to lack of disk space....

$

We use DPM 2012 to protect our Exchange 2010 SP1 DAGs. We have successfully restored mailboxes several times in the recent past. Yesterday after initiating a restore from disk, and having it run for 8 hours, it failed with the following message:

The operation failed because of inadequate disk space. (ID 2035 Details: There is not enough space on the disk (0x80070070))

The database we were recovering is just over 1TB in size. The mount point that contains the recovery db is approximately 2TB in size....so space should not be an issue. There was an existing recovery db present that was about 1TB in size from a past restore, but I set it to be overwritten....so that space in use by the previous restore would've been reclaimed by my restore.

The "recommended action" in the DPM console was to "increase the amount of free space on volume\\?\C:\ on the destination computer". The c drive on the destination computer (the one that holds the recovery db) has plenty of free space (not sure why space is needed on the C drive of the destination computer during a restore).

I have not been able to figure this out or know why I got these messages. Any advice would be appreciated.

Snapshot rollup with Long term backup to Tape

I need to reconfigure the short term disk storage, and wanted to know if I create a Long Term backup to tape, does thatstore or encompass all the "snapshot/short term" backups that I have on disk?

If so, I will be able to remove all my disk backups, reconfigure it as needed, and re-enable the short term backups without losing any of my historical backups. (For Legal reasons)

Thanks!

dpm 2010 exchange 2010 backups are failing

$

Hi, I'm getting an error which does not seem to match in the DPM 2010 ID codes. Randomly, I have backups of an exchange 2010 DAG that are failing. The backup will run for a short time (5mints..up to 10minuts) and then will fail with the following error:

Type: Recovery point
Status: Failed
Description: Backup failed as another copy of 'user' database is currently being backed up. (ID 32628 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990D51)
 More information
End time: 4/25/2011 10:37:27 PM
Start time: 4/25/2011 10:26:55 PM
Time elapsed: 00:10:31
Data transferred: 0 MB
Cluster node -
Recovery Point Type Incremental Sync
Source details: 06001
Protection group: EXCH2010 - 06001

I've tried restarting the DPM server to troubleshoot. I say this happens randomly because I've had some backups successfully complete against the same exchange server. The only other item that seems odd is when creating protection groups against the DAG, the intial lookup seems to take forever. Not sure what to try next. 

Backing up an Exchange 2010 DAG with more than one DPM 2012R2 servers

$

Hi,

we have an Exchange DAG with than 10000 mailboxes so we would like to protect it with two different DPM Servers.

I have read that this is supported.

Is there anything special I have to consider?

Except of course that only one DPM can back up one specific Exch node.
So can I just "setdpmserver" for example the first 5 Exch nodes to DPM01 and the second 5 Exch nodes to DPM02 and configure Exch Backup as I am used to?

Kind regards

Hi,

I have DPM 2012 r2 (physical server), I'm running a job that backup Exchange 2013 Mailbox DB. (I have 32 DB, 4 physical servers running DAG configuration)

I have more then 30 Terra disk space on the DPM that allocated for backup.

In DPM management (Disks section)  I can see 91% unallocated. (only 3 GB is the current backup file size.)

In the event viewer I get:

"The used disk space on the computer running DPM for the recovery point volume of  DB22 has exceeded the threshold value of  90% (DPM accounts 600 MB for internal usage in addition to free space available). If you do not allocate more disk space,  synchronization jobs may fail due to insufficient disk space. (ID: 3169)"


"Creation of recovery points for DB22 on mail04 have failed. The last recovery point creation failed for the  following reason: (ID: 3114)
 DPM has run out of free space on the recovery point volume and will fail synchronization for DB22 on mail04 in order to prevent existing recovery points from being deleted. (ID: 30195)"

I can't understand why I get those events, need help with this issue

Automatically backup new exchange database on standalone Exchange server

Hello,

I´m currently setting up a backup against a Exchange Server 2013. One thing I noticed when I added created a new Exchange database was that it was not automatically backup up by DPM.

I've checked the box "Exchange 2013 databases" but after I created the fifth databases I noticed that it was not automatically checked in DPM and also that the box "Exchange 2013 databases" was unchecked.

How can I make sure that new Exchange databases are backuped automatically?
