Hello i tried this command

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -targetbackup:F:\

but it throw me error the location is not supported or not found.. i know i cant use local os drive and remote locations fo backup but that disk is empty and formatted on NTFS so it seems to be ok..

where is mistake, what i misslooked ?

here is image

thank you

ok it works now i change parameter on -targetbackup:F:

but it says me

 

"Log of files for which backup failed:

C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\Backup_Error-....log

 

the operation ended before completion

the parameter is incorrect"

 

but the log file is empty.. what mistake is now ?

the command is:

 

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backupTarget:f:

 

not:

 

wbadmin start systemstatebackup -TargetBackup:f:

oh i maybe know whats the problem.. backup has more than 10GB my F disk is only 2GB.. what all is backuped ? that create image of server or what LoL.. i though it backup only AD database..

ICTcity: oh thankyou i type it wrong but on the printscreen its right

Systemstate backup is a SYSTEM STATE BACKUP. So, 10GB are not too much...

 

anyway, take a look at this article:

if you want to be able to backup ONLY the AD, I think you should buy 3rd part software...

ok thank you

mhm i tried it again but still failed

now i add 20GB disk which is enough but it failed anyway

 

image of error

 

what is wrong now, why parameter is incorrect ?

Can you post the log?

 

Also... try the command with the UPPERCASE letter F... perhaps it helps...
