SBS 2008 Summary Network Report ERROR questions
This is from our SBS 2008 Summary Network Report. We are running Exchange 2007. Last week a tech was working on other stuff and turned off some of the "services" for Exchange. I took over later, but couldn't remember what he had turned off. I wonder if one of those settings is causing the errors below?
These are off
MS Edge Sync is Manual and is off
MS Exchange Monitoring is Manual and is off
MS Server Extension for Windows Server Backup is Manual and is off.
Here are the ERRORS:

Ok it appears that's part of the Exchange server backup that's built-in to the Windows server backup tool...I don't really use that tool so didn't see that before...
So what's the status of your backups? Are you using Windows Server backup or what?
That service only starts when its needed based on the docs I can see(meaning when the backup is running this will be running)

Yes, we use Windows Backup every day. It runs once per day at 6:30PM
Edit the properties of the backup job, check that the VSS settings are per my screenshot(Full and not Copy) - if not Full switch to that mode and re-run the backup...might clean that error
To get to this screen edit the schedule, click next, Customize job option - on this screen you'll see the Advanced option you need to click to bring up the other screens

Ok so its probably in the Add or Remove Backup items section...this is the console version of the backup(mine is the standalone Windows Backup option on the Start menu)

I launched from Start, Administrative Tools, Windows Server Backup, but can't find a screen like your pic. I attached a few shots.
However, I remember seeing a screen like your pic a while back, when I set up the backup. But, in all the screens I am getting there is nothing like that.
I also tried from Windows SBS Console, Backup bar, chose Add or remove backup items, and same thing, I only get screens like that. Do I have to "Stop" the backup and then set up a new backup job in order to see the screen like in your pic?

Ok screenshot 1604-001 - that is the screen I want - click Next on that screen and you should see the Advanced option on my original screenshot then...
ASKER
Actually, pic 1605 is the next screen, where the Select backup items just shows the 3 Volumes. If I hit Next on that one, the next screen is just the schedule...there is no Advance button.

Ok my bad...I'm looking at an SBS2011 machine, not 2008...apologies for all that
There's no advance options in 2008 sorry, ok so back to my original question - are your backups running without any errors?

It says "completed with warnings". This is showing something about G drive "the semaphore timeout period has expired", but I don't the G drive has anything to do with Exchange.

Ok well that's telling me there is an issue with this G drive - what is it? What's on it?
Run a chkdsk on that drive to see if there are issues
Start - All Programs - Accessories - right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator
Type this command
chkdsk G:
See if the summary shows any issues related to the filesystem(see my attachment which says no problems found - need to see what your summary shows)

Yes its late over here anyways...see you then

Here is the result.
Also, let me give a little history. This started happening after we tried to migrate and failover using Double Take by Vision Solutions. Their software migrated this server to a new hardware and then shut this one down and booted the new server. So, in that process, we had "turned off" some of the Exchnage services. We also had "not" migrated the G drive. After a few hours it was clear the new server was not working properly, so I took it offline and rebooted this server. Since then we have had the errors showing up. I don't think G drive has anything to do with the issues. We had just thrown files on there as a temporary backup.

Ok so the drive is ok - but if there's nothing on it you need backed up why is it included in the job? Remove it and see if the job runs clean...
I see its an SSD - what make/model? Does it come with manufacturer diags utility(Samsung Magician software comes with the Samsung drives, Intel SSD Toolbox with the Intel drives...)
These packages can reveal if the drive is still healthy...

It is a Corsair Force GT. Not sure how to find utilities for it.
I'll try removing it from the back up job and see if the Semapore error goes away.
Do you think that has something to do with the Exchange and iaStor errors I have been getting?

Depends on what is on it...
This is a server - branded? What make/model? SSD drives don't play well with server raid systems unless they are enterprise SSD's...
This is their toolbox - http://www.corsair.com/en/blog/2013/may/the-corsair-ssd-toolbox
That will reveal detailed status of the drive etc...
Yes remove it as a test and see what happens

Server is something I bought on Tiger DIrect in 2006, a Visionman. Has an Intel board and Xeon 3230 processor.
The RAID is three drives of same model and size in RAID 5 using Intel Matrix software raid. The G drive is a stand alone drive, just an extra drive I put in a while back to test something. I think we were having speed issues with SQL database access times, like 3 years ago, so tried moving database to the G drive to test speed. Eventually put SQL and the database on a completely separate server. I just left the G drive in the machine, not really using it.
Should I download the Corsair Toolbox on the server and run it? Seems like a stupid question...

Ok, so ran the Windows Backup at 2:00PM and "completed successfully". I had chosen Backup Tasks, Configure server backup and de-selected the G drive, then ran the backup and it says "Successful" where the others had said "completed with warnings".
I think this also fixed the Exchange and iaStor error issues. I just looked through the logs and see one at 2:11 pm for MS ExchangeIS that says successfully completed the full or incremental backup of storage group "Second Storage Group".
Why the heck would G drive have had anything to do that?

- this I don't know what this is - haven't seen this before - could be part of some backup program you have installed on the server to perform your backups - have you such software?
