Hi all,
We are a small shop running a server with Windows 2012 Standard with Hyper-V. We have 4 hyper-V VMs running and we have SSR 2013 installed on the Windows 2012 host. I have searched through these forums and have found that SSR 2013 is capable of backing up the Host with the VMs. I have run backups on the Windows 2012 host several times and SSR always completes successfully and creates a recovery point.
I was looking in the event logs and find the following 2 errors for each VM that is on the host when SSR is run.
Error 1 "Requester reported unsuccessful backup for the virtual machine 'XXXXXXXX'. (Virtual machine ID 064918AE-59A8-4D4D-8D11-7A70D5CEC1AF)" XXXXXX is the name of the virtual machine.
Event ID 10170 Source Hyper-V-VMMS
Error 2 "The operation failed"
Event ID 16010 Source Hyper-V-VMMS
Given the errors above, is SSR 2013 performing proper backups with the VMs in a consistent state? Can someone explain the significance of these errors? I don't want to find out in the future that SSR was not properly backing up the host machine and its VMs.
Thanks!!,
CQ
