Re: [Bacula-users] windows client VSS issues

Hello,

The error shown below "VSS API failure ..." generally happens because the Windows VSS is broken. Normally fixing it is done by stopping *all* VSS services then restarting them or for most people, it is easier simply to reboot the system.

If you are complaining about Bacula not functioning, in addition to the Bacula version, which you included, you need to include the OS version.

Best regards,
Kern

Hi all

I just got Bacula to work backing up my linux machines, works like a charm. But now I have to dip my fingers in the windows world.

I downloaded the windows client from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/Win32_64/

Installed it and was able to establish communication from my director to this client. (bconsole -> status -> client)

But when I execute the backup job I get this VSS error:

21-May 17:45 fgmacjai-fd JobId 160: Fatal error: No drive letters found for generating VSS snapshots.

21-May 17:45 fgmacjai-fd JobId 160: Error: VSS API failure calling "BackupComplete". ERR=Object is not initialized; called during restore or not called in correct sequence.

I checked the shadow copy in the windows machine and it is running.

Here is my director configuration for this client:

Job {

Name = "BackupWindows"

Client = windows-fd

JobDefs = "DefaultJob"

Pool = TestFile

}

Job {

Name = "RestoreWindows"

Type = Restore

Client = fgmacjai-fd

FileSet="WindowsFileSet"

Storage = File

Pool = WindowsPool

Messages = Standard

Where = "c:\bacula\restore"

}

FileSet {

Name = "WindowsFileSet"

EnableVSS = yes

Include {

    Options {

      signature = MD5

    }

    #File = c:/pruebaBacula

    File = "c:\hp"

}

# Exclude {

#    File = /var/lib/bacula

# }

}

Client {

Name = windows-fd

Address = test.villacero.net.mx

FDPort = 9102

Catalog = MyCatalog

Password = "ZE4Fsk8ooH8/Ibnu6TZTT3dlN+3xoqx9/tLhUbng7/KN"          # password for FileDaemon

File Retention = 30 days            # 30 days

Job Retention = 6 months            # six months

AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files

}

Pool {

Name = WindowsPool

Pool Type = Backup

Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes

Label Format = Windows-

AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes

Volume Retention = 365 days        # one year

Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable

Maximum Volumes = 100               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool

}

Appreciate any input from you guys.

Regards,

Fernando.
