Hi Deepu,

Sorry but I'm very confused.

Can you please clarify?:

1.- Are you running VSS or VDI SQL backups?

2.- Which backups are failing, File System or SQL DB?

3.- Can you please share any error message you are getting (check in /nsr/logs/sg/group_name) and check out if there is anything in there.

4.- Check also the nmm.raw file. Are the nsrexecd and the Replication ManagerAgentPS services running?

5.- Change saveset to C:\Windows\Temp and change NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss (note the vss in lower case) and please give it a try by running:

savegrp -D3vvv -c client_name group_name and check out the output, if you don't find the error please share it with us.

Thank you.

Carlos.

Are you trying to do a filesystem backup or just MS SQL? Is this clustered environment?

If you are planning to do both filesystem and MS SQL backups, please consider dividing those backups in a separate backup groups, and make sure that they do not start at the same time, because you cannot start two or more NMM backups at the same time.

For filesystem it is OK to leave "All" for Save set.

For MS SQL, please run Command Prompt as Administrator and type "nsrsnap_vss_save.exe -? -v" on MS SQL server. What you get as result paste it to the Save set box without quotes.

In both cases you should have at least:

Apps & Modules tab:

Backup command:  nsrsnap_vss_save.exe

Application information:  NSR_SNAP_TYPE=vss

Hello,

Can you doublecheck you saveset configuration?

If you specified saveset ALL (uppercase), most likely the backup will fail.

Please try specifying saveset: All  (Uppercase A, lowercase ll)

If this still fails, please share the error message.

This is what you have to do:

1. Create a domain account

2. make that account an admin on the SQL server

3. Give that account admin rights on the SQL database

4. Edit the secpol.msc, under security policies - disable run all administrators in admin approval mode and admin aprroval mode for the built in administrator account.

5. reboot the system and run your backup again.
