jpelman Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hello everyone, My Retrospect software fails to backup my domain controller. The domain controller is running Windows 2000 server in a VMWare virtual machine. It was backing up the DC VM and suddenly stopped. The error number I encounter is in the title of this post. In the log it specifies the following: T-39: MapError: unknown Windows error -2,147,221,164 T-39: W2dbIISMetabaseOp: CoCreateInstance failed, winerr -2147221164, error -1001 > Can't back up IIS Metabase, error 1904855908 It then says snapshot stored, 74.2MB 1 execution errors completed: 14467 files, 2.3GB I don't have IIS installed so there should not be any IIS Metabase to worry about. I am unable to restore the snapshot. For restoring I have a second host server (host2) with a copy of the domain controller VM running in host only mode so it doesn't have access to the network. I use a private LAN switch and a mapped drive to access host1 from host2. Host1 has the backup files and catalog files. Host2 reads the backup and catalog files to do the restores. I tried loading updates to Retrospect server, and uninstalling and reinstalling the Retrospect client. I also installed windows updates. None of the above changes have fixed the backup and restore problem. I have several other server VMs that I backup and restore in the same manner which are working (including a SQL server box, Exchange server box, and a file server box). Anyone have any ideas?
