AppAware backups failing since update to 11.34.5

Hi @Cbcurry1 ,

Can you confirm which backup is failing, is it the VMware Backup or the SQL?

Also, can you confirm the error message?

Best Regards,

Sebastien

You might already know but as you work through this issue you can turn off appaware and run regular streaming SQL backups until this issue is resolved. You can turn it off on the VSA subclient properties.

Also does this happen on multiple servers or is it just one vm that is having the issue?

Hello Sebastien, 

The error message was. Error Code: [76:262] Description: Failed to replicate snapshots for subclient [default] using DDR. Source: ‘SQL Server name’, Process: SQLBackup

The DB portion of the backup was failing. the VSA completed with errors bacause it couldn’t complete the app aware portion for the backup. 

Thank you

Hi Scott

Thanks for the information. 

I did run streaming backups to get us by. App-Aware are working now, but not in the manner used starting with 11.32, which uses the SQL VSS writer to create an app consistent backup. 

Commvault provided a setting to be placed on the media agent to revert back to appaware backups prior to 11.32 versions. 

Thank you

Hi,

We are experiencing the same problems with SQL and AppAware on some clients since the upgrade to version 11.32.

The VMware tools update suggested by the support did not fix all the problems.

Can you tell us more about this parameter to apply on the media agent?

Thank you,
