vault 2012 backup

[tgrimwood]

Hi All,

I have just installed inventor 2012 it works great, installed Vault that was ok as well.

now when I started to look at our backup plan, things started to go wrong problem as follows.

I can back up the vault manually to my C: drive but when I try and create a scheduled backup through the vaults new schedule tool, it come back with unable to create full backup task.

The other problem is I can’t even back up manually to the network only the local dir

any help would be great i'm pulling my hair out

Andy,

this is the content of BAT file:

Spoiler

date /t & time /t

    ECHO.

    ECHO Backup start

"C:\Archivos de programa (x86)\Autodesk\ADMS 2012\ADMS Console\Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe" -Obackup -BG:\Backup_Vault\ -VUAdministrator -VP****** -VAL -LG:\Backup_Vault\Log_ADMS_Backup.txt
    ECHO.

date /t & time /t

(I have modified the password by ******)

I think the result of back-up is ok.

The problem creating scheduled task persists and we have opened a ticket directly with Autodesk about this problem.

Regards,

Jose.

Jose,

You could try adding the -S

date /t & time /t

    ECHO.

    ECHO Backup start

"C:\Archivos de programa (x86)\Autodesk\ADMS 2012\ADMS Console\Connectivity.ADMSConsole.exe" -Obackup -BG:\Backup_Vault\ -VUAdministrator -VP****** -VAL -LG:\Backup_Vault\Log_ADMS_Backup.txt -S
    ECHO.

date /t & time /t

Andy,

the log file is now ok, thanks!

Now only we have problems with creating scheduled tasks by ADMS Console. It isn't critical but I don't know what's the problem.

Regards,

Jose.

Jose,

Just create the scheduled task inside of Windows Task Scheduler.   That is what the ADMS backup wizard does as well.

Andy,

of course, that's what we've always done with previous versions. As I mentioned, is not a problem. Rather, we are curious to discover the cause. I will continue investigating.

Thanks and regards,

Jose.

It may be something related to the local account you are logging into the OS as - or perhalps the UAC as well.  We have seen those cause issues in the past with permissions.

Dear Andy,

I have a response from our technician (F. T.) assigned from Autodesk via our partner. He tells us it is a mistake of some versions of Windows. He tells us we must wait for an update or fix from Microsoft.

Regards,

Jose.

I fixed the problem.

The problem was that when you install SQL Server and Vault subsequently changed the name of the Windows machine.

Steps to fix:
- Show the server name:
SELECT @@SERVERNAME
- Remove the old name:
sp_dropserver 'old_name'
- Add the new name:
sp_addserver 'new_name', 'local'

Change the references on tables of records on Vault database, change the old name by the new name.
