hi all,

I've got several 2008 and a few 2012 servers.

I've been using a netgear readynas 314 to store the windows backups images that get generated each night by each server.

On the 2008 side, all is working perfectly.

If i try to backup a 2012 machine (system state) to a local disk it works perfectly.

If i try to do the same backup again to the nas if fails with the error;

'Backup failed to complete. There was a failure in preparing the backup image of one of the volumes backup set. Incorrect Function.'

whats strange is the error seems to imply that it can't create/read/write a VSS shapshot of it's self. which is odd as it works locally.

Oh, and yes the credentials uses to access the nas have full read & write permissions.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have a ticket open with Netgear, but have no response as of yet.

thanks in advance
 
Is this the error you get within the event log? I would check the event log for some more details.

Check the vss writers as well

"vssadmin list writers" check is these all look good.

Is this from starting a fresh backup directly to the NAS device?

More information needed :)

The error in the event log is more misleading than the error given in the backup application it's self.

however i the interest of clarity..

vssadmin shows all writers are working ok.

As i stated above the backup works fine when done to a local drive. it's saving it to a network location that fails.

And yes, I'm deleting the old failed files from the nas before stating another backup test.

thanks for the reply and your time.
 
Hmm

I can find no article stating this "shouldn't" work at least :)

Is it possible to build a new Server 2012 on some other hardware (or VM) and see if this is an issue with just that single OS?

The more I read the more I think this is a problem with the NAS itself but that would give you the 100% confirmation I guess

Sorry I can't be of much more help :(
 
thats ok, i thank you for your time anyways. :)

I actually have two server that this is happening on, however both are vm on the same host.

I'll see if i can build a server on some real hardware and test.

thanks,
