How to restore a file in a DFSroot with BackupExec

After my last rant about Backup Exec I'm here to unleash another one.
You can't simply restore a file to a dfsroot!

  • You will have to manually stop the DFS service first before you try to restore something in the dfsroot.

 

I hope BackupExec will try to resolve this issue right now!

RAR command line with real world example

Every week I make an ASR backup of my Windows 2003 R2 servers, some of them are physically located at another site. Due to that fact I had to think of a secure way to get my data over the WAN to my office. Just plain copying is not an option because we all know if one bit falls over my complete ASR backup is rubbish. And I would have wasted precious bandwidth. A solution I could come up with was to use plain old WinRar, I found out that there was a command line version as well. But the help that comes with that version is kinda cryptic. Below is my command line that I came up with. rar a d:\asr-bu\done\asr_server.rar -ri1 -mt2 -ag[yyyy-mm-dd] -rv10 -v51200 -m5 d:\asr-bu\*.bkf I will explain it in full detail: rar a d:\asr-bu\done\asr_server.rar -ri1 -mt2 -ag[yyyy-mm-dd] -rv10 -v51200 -m5 d:\asr-bu\*.bkf a = add files to archive, that really speaks for itself I think. we are going to add files to an archive. rar a d:\asr-bu\done\asr_server.rar...

Well if somehow your wsus 3.0 database becomes corrupt. Due to an Database administrator removing the instance for example. I tried to remove through the Add/Remove programs dialog but all I got back was. Event Type: Information Event Source: MsiInstaller Event Category: None Event ID: 11725 Date: 25-09-2007 Time: 11:17:18 User: Domain\Administrator Computer: WSUSSERVER Description: Product: Microsoft Windows Server Update Services 3.0 -- Removal failed.
