hi

I’m using Acronis True Image 11 Home to backup linux and freeBSD.

I’m getting each time this error:

Some partitions contain errors and can only be imaged sector by sector.

fsck cannot any errors.

What’s wrong?

kind regards
Piotr

Piotr:

Which Linux file system are you using? If ext3, are you using 256-byte inodes? If so, TI version 11 only supports up to 128 byte inodes. Since inode-256 is considered an unsupported file system, TI reverts to sector by sector mode.

Despite the wording of the error message, if fsck has not found any errors then you can still use TI version 11 to back up and restore. The size of the backup file will be larger since it is running in sector by sector mode.

Hello Piotr and Mark,

No worries, I will help you to resolve this situation.

Mark asked a good question here. This issue depends on filesystem you use on your FreeBSD system. Generally, Unix (and Unix-like) systems are not supported, so you won’t be able to back them up in a usual way. That’s why the product tells you to back up this partition in sector-by-sector mode.

The sector-by-sector method allows you to create an image of all sectors of the selected partition. This image will contain not only sectors with data but also sectors that are empty. As a result, this image will be equal in size to the disk being imaged, as there will be no data compression. This method is useful if a partition being backed up is not supported by the Acronis product or is corrupted. In this case, all sectors of this partition are included in this image and will be restored.

Also, I have found the initial thread from you and responded to it. Please let me know if you need any further assistance. I’d like to make sure all your queries regarding Acronis products are resolved.

You may use the standalone version of Acronis True Image 11 Home to create a raw image of the machine with an unsupported operating system (or filesystem). Please see Standalone Version of Acronis Backup Software.

Please let me know if something from my reply is not clear for you, I would be glad to clarify. Additionally to this, you are welcome to ask me any other questions concerning Acronis, and I will assist you further.

Thank you.

kilo82, welcome to these public User Forums.

This forum topic dates back to the year 2009 and to an extremely old version of Acronis True Image which I would hope you are not using here?

I am able to make good backups of my own Ubuntu Linux 18.04 EXT4 partitions using one of the later versions of ATI which support these file systems and do not normally need to use sector by sector method for the backup.  I am currently using ATI 2019 and this backs up only the used areas of the Ubuntu EXT4 partition as expected.

What you have not told us is what version & build of ATI you are using here?  This will make a difference when working with NVMe M.2 SSD drives.

The link behind the Checksum value in your post is to the ATI 2019 ISO rescue media image which is based on a Linux Kernel OS.

And therefore it should work with  Linux Mint/EXT4. But in my case, it wont.

If you have ATI 2019 installed on a Windows computer, then I would strongly recommend creating the Windows PE version of the Acronis Rescue media to use here.

You should also check what BIOS SATA controller mode is being used with your Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe SSD drive as this can often be set to use RAID mode?

It is possible that the Linux version of the Acronis Rescue media does not have the correct device driver support for this SSD drive.

I currently work with Windows 10 again, so for the moment, it doesn’t matter anymore.

While using the VSS backup option to back up complex applications, you may encounter issues with creating volume snapshot/shadow copy. This article provides instructions on how to troubleshoot and resolve such issues.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot issues with VSS backup in Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery):

  1. Get familiar with VSS technology used in Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) in the About part.
  2. Check for known issues in the Known issues part.
  3. Follow to Troubleshooting part to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

About VSS technology

Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) uses VSS technology to create consistent backup of complex applications.

A VSS backup solution consists of following parts:

  • VSS service is responsible for the communication of all VSS components.
  • VSS requestor is represented by Acronis Backup and Recovery Backup Task that initiates the VSS backup.
  • VSS writer is a part of complex application that guarantees it’s data consistency during backup.
  • VSS Provider is a component that creates and manages the snapshots/shadow copies.

 The VSS Providers available in Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) 12/12.5 are:

VSS ProviderDescription
Automatically select snapshot providerAutomatically select among the hardware snapshot provider, software snapshot providers, and Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider.
Use Microsoft Software Shadow Copy providerWe recommend choosing this option when backing up application servers (Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, or Active Directory).

The VSS Providers available in Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) 11.5/11.7 are:

VSS ProviderDescription
Hardware/software — Select automaticallyVSS will use the hardware-based provider that supports the source volume. If none is found, VSS will use Acronis VSS Provider.
Software — Select automaticallyIn most cases, VSS will use Acronis VSS Provider.
Software — Acronis VSS ProviderVSS will use Acronis VSS Provider for taking snapshots.
Software — System provider (selected by default)VSS will use the system provider (Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider) for taking snapshots. We recommend choosing the system provider when backing up application servers (Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, or Active Directory).
Software — A software providerIn most cases, VSS will use the Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider.
Hardware — Select automaticallyVSS will use the hardware-based provider that supports the source volume. If no hardware-based provider is found, backups will be created by means of Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery) 11.5 without taking snapshots.

Detailed information about the VSS parts and their purpose can be found in this Microsoft TechNet Article: Volume Shadow Copy Service.

How to enable/disable VSS backup:

VSS backup is activated in default backup options.

  • In order to enable the VSS backup go to Backup options -> Volume Shadow Copy Service -> Use Volume Shadow Copy Service and chose the VSS provider you want to use.
  • In order to disable the VSS backup go to Backup options -> Volume Shadow Copy Service -> Do not use VSS.

See more about VSS backup technology in following articles:

Known Issues

Troubleshooting

Use the free Acronis VSS Doctor tool to diagnose and fix the most common problems with VSS.

If it did not help, follow step-by-step instructions below to troubleshoot the issue. Complete prerequisites step before proceeding to error troubleshooting step.

1. Prerequisites

In order for a VSS backup to function correctly, all of the following steps should be fulfilled. Complete all steps before proceeding to error troubleshooting step.

1.1 Windows VSS services should be running

Go to Start -> Run -> services.msc. The following Windows services should be set to Manual Start:

  • Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider
  • Volume Shadow Copy

Following Windows service should be set to Automatic start and running:

  • COM+ Event System service

1.2 Volume with shadow storage should have sufficient free space

VSS creates shadows in the shadow storages for each volume. If the shadow storage is not pre-defined for the volume, by default it is temporary created during the shadow copy on the same volume. Every volume selected for backup (including recovery, boot and service partitions) should have sufficient space for the shadow storage and the shadow copy.

In order to check that the volume has enough space for the shadow copy, create a shadow copy using the tools integrated in Windows and make sure the shadow copy is created successfully. If required, move the shadow storage to another volume or free up space on the volume.

Select type of the operating system that is being used: Server OS or Workstation OS.

Server OS:
Go to My Computer -> Right click on any of internal volumes listed -> Configure Shadow Copies
Select the volume you want to check and click on Create shadow copy to confirm that there is sufficient free space on each volume. Otherwise set up the storage area for the volume. You can also use the vssadmin utility to run this check and create,increase or relocate the shadow storage.

Workstation OS:
Go to Start -> Run -> diskmgmt.msc. Check the size of all volumes. If any volume of size 1024 MB or less is present on the disks, it will not be backed up via VSS, see this MSDN article for technical reference. Increase the size of such volume up to 1025 MB and more or exclude it from the backup source.

Select version of the operating system: Windows Vista/7/8/10 or Windows XP.

Windows Vista/7/8/10:
Go to Control Panel -> System — >System protection
Select the volume you want to check and click on > Create shadow copy to confirm that there is sufficient free space on each volume. Otherwise configure protection for the volume and increaze the size of the storage.

Windows XP:
To check that the volume has enough free space and force the shadow copy creation, run the ntbackup utility and backup some data from the volume you want to check, checking the shadow copy creation. Run cmd and enter ntbackup.exe.
In case you have to create or increase the size of the storage, go to Control Panel -> System -> System restore and configure space for the storage.

1.3 Backup settings should be configured to use VSS snapshot

Go to Backup settings -> Volume Shadow Copy -> Select the VSS provider. For a Workstation OS select Software — System provider, as other providers can be used only on Server OS.

You need to have VSS snapshot enabled if you have databases running on your machine, otherwise you can set Do not use vss option.

Go to edit backup plan -> backup source and check the volumes selected for backup. If not all volumes are selected for backup, go to backup settings and deactivate the multi-volume snapshot. If you deactivate the multi-volume snapshot, make sure there is no data spanned across the volumes to have application-consistent backup.

1.4 VSS writers should be enabled and in consistent state

Go to Start -> Run -> cmd. Execute the command:
     vssadmin list writers

Check all writers’ state. If any writer shows the state different to stable, proceed to VSS writer error troubleshooting step.

In Windows Small Business Server 2003 Exchange VSS writer is disabled by default. Enable the writer to have Exchange database is consistent state.

  • Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  • Locate and then double-click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesMSExchangeISParametersSystem
  • Double-click the Disable Exchange Writer value.
  • In the Value data text box, change the value from 1 to 0, and then click OK.
  • Quit Registry Editor.
  • Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
  • Stop and then restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service.

If all steps above have been executed and issue still persists, go to error troubleshooting step.

2. Error troubleshooting

Analyze VSS errors to resolve the issue. Complete all steps before proceeding to collect information step.

2.1 Acronis Backup and Recovery backup errors

Find the log of the failed backup activity and check the error message. Go to known issues part and check for known solutions.

If a known solution has been applied, but the issue still persists, go to prerequisites step to troubleshoot the new issue.

If issue is not listed in known issues, proceed to windows errors step.

2.2 Windows errors

Go to Start -> Run -> eventvwr.msc. Navigate to Windows Logs -> Application and check for error messages related to VSS service. Search for solution in Microsoft Support articles, for example see this Microsoft TechNet Article.

Go to Windows Logs -> System and check for error messages related to VSS service.

Go to known issues part and check for known solutions.

If issue is not listed in known issues and persists, proceed to the next step.

2.3 VSS writer errors

Go to Start -> Run -> cmd. Execute the command
     vssadmin list writers

If a writer is in «retryable» error state, restart this writer service and retry the backup.

Validate the writer:

If the writer still produces the error, then perform a backup with this VSS writer usage initiated with other VSS provider to ensure it’s validity.

For Windows Server 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016 create a snapshot using Diskshadow tool to check the functionality of the VSS service components. If issue occurs on Workstation OS, skip this step.

How to create snapshot using Diskshadow: click to expand

If any writer fails with an error or creating a snapshot with Diskshadow does not end with «Number of shadow copies listed: x», you need to troubleshoot this writer and make sure it is functioning correctly before using VSS backup in Acronis Software. Acronis Backup relies on VSS to perform backup operations and correct functioning of VSS writers is a prerequisite for successful snapshot creation.  

Deactivate the writer:

Deactivate the faulty writer. Go to Start -> Run -> services.msc, find the service for the particular writer and set it’s start type to disabled, stop the service. Retry the backup. If backup succeeds, the writer causes the failure and issue should be addressed to the vendor of the writer. Deactivating the writer will lead to inconsistent backup of the application this writer was developed for.

To confirm the malfunctioning of the writer caused by the Acronis Backup (Acronis Backup & Recovery), go to collect information step.

If all steps above have been executed and issue still persists, go to collect information step.

3. Collect information

Collect following information and contact Acronis Customer Central.

3.1 SnapAPI logs

Collect SnapAPI logs:

  • Acronis Backup 11.7/11.5: Collecting SnapAPI Logs
