  • Wondering what a SBS DSRM System State Restore looks like

    Posted on June 14th, 2011 HandyAndy 2 comments

    So I am starting to think my server does not like me leaving town. The day after returning home from SMB Nation she crashed. CHKDSK got it to boot but lost a few thousand files in the process. Decided to do a System State Restore as too many services were just not happy.

    A number of folks have asked me about the process so I thought I would put up the log so if you are in this situation you will know what how to proceed and what to expect.

    The tool you will use is called WBADMIN and you have to run it from an elevated command window, here is the help listing

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
    Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    C:\Windows\system32>wbadmin /?
    wbadmin 1.0 – Backup command-line tool
    (C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.

    —- Commands Supported —-

    START BACKUP              — Runs a one-time backup.
    STOP JOB                  — Stops the currently running backup or recovery
                                  operation.
    GET VERSIONS              — List details of backups recoverable from a
                                  specified location.
    GET ITEMS                 — Lists items contained in a backup.
    GET STATUS                — Reports the status of the currently running
                                  operation.

    C:\Windows\system32>

    First you need to run WBADMIN GET VERSIONS and get the ID of  the backup you want to restore from, in my case it was -version:06/13/2011-03:00
    So I run this command and what follows is the output from the command window
    C:\>WBADMIN START SYSTEMSTATERECOVERY -version:06/13/2011-03:00
    wbadmin 1.0 – Backup command-line tool
    (C) Copyright 2004 Microsoft Corp.

    Do you want to start the system state recovery operation?
    [Y] Yes [N] No y
    NOTE: The recovery operation will cause all replicated content on the local
    machine to re-sync after recovery. This may cause potential latency or outage
    issues.

    Restore of system state completed successfully [6/13/2011 10:02 PM]

    Log of files successfully restored
    ‘C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsServerBackup\SystemStateRestore 13-06-2011 21-14-00.log
    Please restart the machine to complete the operation.
    NOTE: When you restart your server, System State Recovery will attempt to
    recover many system files which may take several minutes to complete depending
    on the number of files that are getting replaced. The machine might reboot mult
    ple times in the process. Please be patient and do not interrupt the reboot process

     So then I reboot the server and it does 3 reboots on its own fixing stuff.
    Then gets all the way to the logon window, I logon and get one more Modal Command window that looks like this

    System State Recovery operation started at 6/13/2011 9:14 PM completed successfu
    lly
    Press ENTER to continue…

    After pressing <Enter> I am back in business.
    Pretty much everything seems to be running fine except Quickbooks which complains about a couple of missing dlls which I was able to grab off my desktop system.

    So now you don’t have to panic if this happens to you, you know how to proceed and what the process looks like.
