Question
Hello,
I have a virtual 2012 R2 file server running on ESX 5.5, and recently I've started to have the following problem. Every night the server will run a backup onto an iSCSI target the scheduled time, but each time it's proceeded by the following sự kiện in sự kiện viewer:
Event ID 24:
Backup started a fresh backup for volume '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' ('Esp') : [Reason: 'Volume size changed']. This may cause loss of older backup versions when backup completes.
True to its word, Windows Server Backup then trashes the previous backup, and completes a new one. The destination is 4.1TB big, and it's currently only using just over 1.3TB, so space isn't an issue there.
I don't know when this started as I only get email notifications for sự kiện IDs which signify failure, all I know is that I can only perpetually restore files from the previous night. This wouldn't be too bad if it was for just disaster recovery, but I work in education, and Students / Staff have a habit of loosing things!
I tried deleting the schedule, and then re-creating it (letting WSB format the disk), but no joy. Is there anything else I can try?
Kind Regards,
Mike

Hello,
By default, tracing is enabled in Windows Server Backup to preserve logs. These traces will be present in files under the following directory:
%windir%logswindowsserverbackup
You can use some tools such as tracerpt command to export the .etl file into a .txt file. However, it could be complicated to achieve what you want.
Besides, Windows Server Backup maintains the following restore and system state backup log files:
WindowslogsWindowsServerBackupFileRestore
WindowslogsWindowsServerBackupFileRestore_Error
WindowslogsWindowsServerBackupSystemStateBackup
WindowslogsWindowsServerBackupSystemStateBackup_Error
I think these log files may be helpful.
Regarding the second question, yes, this is true. Windows Server Backup uses VSS functionality that is built into applications like Microsoft Exchange Server to protect application data. The database and related log files will be backed up as a unit by VSS during the backup.
For more details about this, please see ://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/2b0d2457-b7d8-42c3-b6c9-59c145b7765f1033.mspx

Use these procedures to troubleshoot computer backups in Windows Server Essentials, including backup configuration issues, incomplete or unsuccessful backups, backup health alerts, and issues with file, thư mục, or full-system restores.
Troubleshoot backup configuration issues for a connected computer
Use these procedures to troubleshoot issues with the backup configurations for computers that are backed up on your Windows Server Essentials server.
Errors
Backup configuration did not complete successfully
Error collecting information for computer
Error removing computer from backup
Resolutions
To troubleshoot errors that occur while you configure backups for a connected computerMake sure your computer is connected to the network through a network device.
Make sure the network device that the computer is connected to is also connected to the network, powered on, and functioning properly.
Make sure that Windows Server Client Backup Service and Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service are running on the server.
To start computer backup services on the serverOn the server, click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
Scroll down to and click Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service. If the status of the service is not Started, right-click the service, and then click Start.
Click Windows Server Client Computer Backup Service. If the status of the service is not Started, right-click the service, and then click Start.
Close Services.
Make sure that Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service is running on the client computer.
To start the computer backup service on the client computerOn the client computer, click Start, type Services in the Search programs and files text box, and then press Enter.
Scroll down to and click Windows Server Client Computer Backup Provider Service. If the status of the service is not Started, right-click the service, and then click Start.
Close Services.
Check alerts to determine if there are errors in the backup database. If there are errors, follow the instructions in the alert to repair the backup database.
Uninstall the Windows Server Essentials Connector software from the computer, and then reinstall it. For more information, see the topics Uninstall the Connector software and Install the Connector software.
Troubleshoot a backup that did not complete properly
When a backup has Unsuccessful status, no part of the backup succeeded and no data is available for you to restore. However, when a backup has Incomplete status, not all items specified in the backup configuration were backed up, but some data might be available for you to restore.
Errors
Backup is incomplete
Backup unsuccessful
Resolutions
To identify volumes that were not backed up successfullyOpen the Windows Server Essentials Dashboard, and then click Computers and Backup.
Click the name of the computer where backup did not complete successfully, and then click View the computer properties in the Tasks pane.
Click the backup that did not complete successfully, and then click View details.
In the Backup Details dialog box, a green check is displayed in the status of every volume that was backed up successfully.
To troubleshoot an unsuccessful backup of a volumeMake sure that the hard disk is connected to the computer, turned on, and functioning properly.
Run chkdsk /f /r to fix any errors on the hard disk (/f) and recover readable information from any bad sectors (/r). For more information about running chkdsk, see CHKDSK.
Make sure that the computer was not shut down or disconnected from the network while backup was running.
Make sure there is enough không lấy phí space on each volume for backup to run. Backup requires some additional disk space on the client computer to create a VSS snapshot. On any volume that is not system reserved, least 10 percent of available disk space must be không lấy phí. On a system reserved volume, if the volume size is less than 500 MB, VSS requires 32 MB of không lấy phí space to create a snapshot; if the volume is 500 MB or greater, VSS requires 320 MB of không lấy phí space.
If insufficient không lấy phí space is available on a volume, try one of these resolutions:
Extend the volume. You can extend any basic or dynamic volume except the system reserved volume.
To extend a volume
In Control Panel, click System and Security.
Under Administrative Tools, click Create and format hard disk partitions.
Right-click the volume that you want to extend. If Extend Volume is enabled, select that option. If the option is not enabled, you cannot extend the volume.
Follow the steps in the Extend Volume Wizard to extend the volume.
Delete content from the volume to make more space available.
Note
If you need to không lấy phí up space on the system reserved volume, you can move the System Recovery Image to a different volume. For instructions, see Deploy a System Recovery Image.
Exclude the volume from the client backup. Do this only if it is not important to you to maintain a backup copy of the data on the volume.
Warning
If you exclude the system reserved volume from a client backup, the client system will not be backed up, and you will not be able to perform a full system restore on the computer.
Check for other alerts on the server that may indicate there is not enough disk space on the server for backup to complete successfully. Follow the instructions in the alert to fix the issue.
Run vssadmin in a command prompt to troubleshoot Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) issues. For information about vssadmin, see VSSADMIN.
