Backup fails periodically

Post by danswartz »

Backing a physical windows 10 workstation with a server-mode job works for a few days, and then fails with errors like 'Error: managed session XXX has failed". Retries do not resolve this, but rebooting the target does. Case 04115933 opened.

Hello Dan,
What do you mean by target, workstation or backup repository?

The target is my physical windows 10 workstation. The server-mode job backs up to an NAS repository. It works fine after I reboot, but anywhere from 1-7 or so days later, it fails again. Just did again last night. Rebooted, and re-running VAW and it is working. Very annoying...

You are not rebooting your target. :)
You are rebooting your Source workstation.
The workstation, which has VAW installed.

Target: NAS
Source: your windows 10 workstation

The target of the backup. I was pretty clear what was being backed up, and to where. If you can't contribute anything more than non-productive semantic quibbles, please don't comment.

Dan,
It's pretty hard to guess the cause by the provided error message as it's pretty generic. I would recommend to keep investigating it with the support team.
Thanks

Support is involved. Has to be something with my setup, as I have used VAW on several other windows hosts with never a problem.

Current theory from support: I am running malwarebytes, and that might be interfering with VAW. Per the KB I was pointed to, I have whitelisted several directories, and am keeping an eye out.
