Acronis 9.1 error during full image

Hello all,

Im' testing Acronis Trueimage Server and i had an issue duriong a full image backup.
To evaluate time range to do full backup i ran a full image backup of a production server (sharepoint Db server) and i had an error message :

Unable to create volume snapshot (0x70021)
Tag = 0x0
Cannot access drive.
Cannot create the image of the logical drive C: because it is currently in use by running applications or the logical drive contains bad sectors.: None

I checked my server and the hard disk are correct with no erro.

An idea ?

Thanks in advance

Olivier

 

A thought that springs to mind is if you have something like SQL server installed, then the service has to be stopped, whilst TI makes the snapshot, there may be others perhaps disk monitoring etc.

I'd suggest downloading the trial version of Echo Enterprise - this automatically suspends DB transactions.

The other option would be putting in a pre-image task in the overall properties option - suspending or stopping the DB and then restarting it after the image has been taken.

Or - make a batch file - that calls suspends the DB - calls TI - restarts the DB. This would only really be useful if you intend to start your imaging manually.

olivier_1968,

Sounds like you have a database running.

Try using the before/after data capture commands and run a net pause net resume to quiesce the database before the image is taken.
