Azure Backup Inconsistent Disk Space
Posted : admin On 27.10.2019System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 (DPM 2010) offers with its new console in the creation of a protection group in System Protection, a new option called 'Bare Metal Recovery'.This option saves the operating system files (System State) and critical volumes (excluding user data) to restore it very quickly to new hardware. This feature existed in DPM 2007 with Software Removal Tool.The problem is that sometimes the BMR backup 'Bare Metal Recovery' is not working properly and fails with the message 'Replica inconsistent' caused by 'insufficient disk space'.Cause:DPM 2010 does not calculate the size of BMR data source, but assumes 30 GB for all servers. Admins should change the value as per the size of BMR backups expected on their environments.The size of BMR backup is approximately equal to the amount of space used on all critical volumes.Critical volumes = Boot Volume + System Volume + Volume hosting system state data such as AD DIT/log volumes.Solution:We need to run the BMR backup Manually (without DPM) to know the disk size needed on DPM:1. Create a shared folder with enough space to store the BMR backup, for example servername BMR2.
On the production server, launch the command prompt with administrative privileges3. Then type the following command.
Wbadmin.exe start backup -allcritical -quiet -backuptarget:servernamebmrshare4. Once the backup is complete, check the disk space consumed by the BMR backup and make sure that the same amount of disk space or more have been allocated to the replica volume.5. Also increase the disk space of volume recovery point.6. Then in the DPM console, starts the consistency check on our replica inconsistentOnce these operations are completed the BMR backup will be created and recovery points are available.

BMR with Azure Backup server V2. Review the storage pool disk space that's allocated for the protection group. You can choose to run a check only when replica data becomes inconsistent, or on a schedule. If you don't want to configure automatic consistency checking, you can run a manual check at any time. Not enough space on the disk - Azure Cloud Services September 17, 2015. I have been using Microsoft Azure Cloud Services since PDC 2008 when it was first announced. Ever since, I’ve been a huge fan of “cloud services”, the cattle VMs in the cloud that are stateless. In all those years, I have never seen this error, until yesterday.
Last week I was setting up a Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) for a customer running on an Azure IaaS v1 VM for taking disk and System State backups which are stored in an Azure Backup vault for long-term retention. After done all of the configuration, like deploying the agents and creating the Protection Group(s), most of the backup jobs ran without any issues, only the System State backups were failing.

Add - WindowsFeature Windows - Server - Backup8) Check if this fixes the issue by opening the Microsft Azure Backup MMC on to the MABS server. Go to Protection and select Perform consistency check 9) Click Yes to perform the consistency check10) You will see the Protection Status changing to “ Replica is inconsistent, verification in progress”11) To be sure everything is working like it should, you can logon to the specific server and open WSB locally by opening the Run box and typing wbadmin.msc12) Select Local Backup. If all is running fine, their should be a local backup job running at the moment13) After a while the job should complete Successful14) You should also verify the successful System State backup in the MABS console. Laal ishq serial background music. Like you can see the Protection Status of the job is OK now (also for all other System State jobs, after WSB was installed locally on all those servers)This concludes this blog post, hope it helps!Wim Matthyssen (@wmatthyssen).
