IS-IT--Management
We recently installed a new virtual server to run our sql standard 2008 sp2 server. So naturally what any it guy do is to take a backup of the virtual server. First night we tried to take a backup of our virtual hard disk the backup failed. So naturally we thought that it was Symantec's fault. We have a Symantec hyper-v license purchased. So we contacted Symantec support and it came up that SqlServerWriter was the cause the backup failed. So we tried to take a full backup of virtual server white Windows server backup. And again the SqlServerWriter was the cause the backup failed. So the very big question is that what setting do I have to put on my server that I am cable of doing nightly backup of my virtual server what is running sql standard server 2008, white out shutting the virtual server down.
Under here is some specs of our work environment:
Operating System= Windows Server 2008 R2
Virtual Server Software = Hyper-V Version: 6.1.7600.16385
Program = SQL 2008 sp2 Standard
Backup Software = Symantec Exec 2010
And this is the errors what we are getting in the events viewer:
