Block level backup failed

Hello,

For Block Level Backups, The subclient content must consist of a volume or a mount point.

-Can you change the content to E:\ here?

Best Regards,

Michael

Hello Michael,

Thank for the answer.

I have tried this option (whole E:) and backup job says ok, BUT the mentioned folder backup contained  only subfolders without files! I choose to backup only those folders to save backup space. As my understanding Commvault support folder selection with block level backup.

Update:I have changed the job for volume D with only some folders selected. The Job has failed with the same error. I am waring about missing files into backups.

Do you have a mount point configured on that folder?

Could it be that it is part of a dynamic disk with multiple extents?

Also block level is not advised for subsets of data → https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/essential/129445_block_level_backups_for_file_system_agents.html

Hello,

I have found that the the volumes E:,D: are windows dynamic volumes each with 2 partitions.

Is this configuration suitable for block level backups, i cannot find in commvault documentation?

@Backup files corruption why did you create individual subclients per disk? have you scheduled at the same time? i would change it and just leverage the default subclient which should capture everything in one go. in case of different retention criteria and/or RPO than I would make sure they do not run at the same time as this is causing collisions. 

@Onno van den Berg  optimizing backup with different schedules/backup frequencies  on Volume E and Volume D. I am still testing and the volumes has been  backuped one by one in different times.

So you are making progress? I think it's clear now what you have to do to get it sorted, right ?

Before perform ew test backup, waiting confirmation, that block level backup is fully compatible with microsoft dynamic disk.
