vRanger 5.5.0.25454 - Backup Problem

achim.weiermann
over 7 years ago

Hello Forum,

I have a problem with the backup of an VM.

VRanger running on an physical Windows Server 2012 R2.

Virtual Software = VMware 5.5

VM1 = Windows Server 2008 R2 German incl. MS SQL Server 2008 Express Edition

VM2 = Windows Server 2012 R2 English incl. MS SQL Server 2012 Express Edition

Backup on an SCSI attached Storage MSA2012sa with enough space.

VM1 = scheduled task each saturday - always successfull

VM2 = scheduled taks on monday, wednesday, saturday - always failed

I just have deleted the task and set it up new, but that doesn't help.

No problems on the network.

I don't have any idea why.

Thanks Achim

If there is someone with an idea to resolve the problem that would be great.

    vRanger DB
    The SQL Version is SQL Express 2008 R2 (10.50.6220). The DB limitation is 10 GB. But is this the limitation for the instance or for each database. In the instance there are 2 DB from the Report Server Modul and one DB named Catalog. Here are the size of the databases.
    Catalog = 2,81 MB
    ReportServer = 8,06 MB
    ReportServerTemp = 3,06 MB
    vRanger = 162,13 MB

    Yes the VMware tools are up to date. No there is no USB drive attached at the VM and no passtrough device. No we dont use quiesce backups and an error within the VSS writers is not displayed. The only difference to VM1 is the database version SQL Server 2008 (10.0.55.0).

    See the log from the VM1 here:
