Client indexing

I have added a client to our urbackup server. It has been indexing for a full week now so I think something is wrong with the way I have set it up. I have attached a bit of the debug log below. All of our other servers seem to back up fine.

I have the same issue with one remote Windows 10 surface pro… issue occurs with server 2.2.3 beta, client 2.2.2 beta… and server 2.1.19, client 2.1.16. All other machines seem to work fine. Client has been reinstalled multiple times.

Sorry you are having issues. To solve the problem the client (debug) log would be useful.
If possible, could you post it or send it?

This post describes how to change the client to debug logging, where it is stored and where to send it to if posting is not possible: Having problems with UrBackup? Please read before posting

Thanks!

this is the debug log on the client… it just continues to display the bottom portion while “indexing” forever

Looks like it hangs in shadow copy creation. I’d:

  1. Check the Windows event log for issues
  2. Check for unusual vss providers (vssadmin list providers) and writers (vssadmin list writers) and uninstall them if present
  3. Create a memory dump of UrBackupBackend.exe and send that to me (e.g. via task manager https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/debugger/2009/12/30/what-is-a-dump-and-how-do-i-create-one/ )

After removing the client on the server, waiting for removal period, and than manually deleting a couple lingering backups on the server and reinstalling the client, the issue is resolved.
