Hi!
I’ve started using URbackup in order to back up windows clients. Windows client 1.4.10 (and 1.4.9), server on debian 1.4.11.
I’ve got two test machines: one windows 2012 server the one windows 7. Those back up both images of “C:” and files backups properly. Both full and incremental.
I’ve got one machine: windows 2008 R2 server that worked properly for a week and then stopped backuping. URbackup says “There was an error. Currently nothing can be backed up”. I’ve reinstalled it a few times, to exclude issues with the internal database (i deleted everything urbackup related) but during first backup image or file, it returned to this state after 20-30 minutes of indexing data.
Current NTFS maximum journal size is 0x2000000.
What’s in debug log of the client:
This is what happened, after a fresh client was installed, and a incremental file backup started:

At this moment urbackup starts saying that there was an error and nothing can be backed up. And debug log is filled with information just like this:

I’m basicaly a linux admin and try to kill windows with fire. But this is something that I cannot avoid. What are your suggestions? What is wrong here? Everything else works OK on this particular VM apart from the UrBackup client. This machine is a MSSQL server, about 280 GB data to be backed up, on top of XEN with GPLPV drivers.
