Hello,

There's not really a "solution" as such. Amazon has pushed back the end of life for the DevPay platform, and thus ZCB is still "alive". But you really should migrate to Carbonite Server...

This is easily the most common cause for 'hang' behavior when ZCB is opened.

When Devpay ends, the backups are gone. You cannot get them. The entire platform on which they are hosting will be gone.

Soon, Amazon Web Services (AWS) will discontinue the use of DevPay, the billing platform Zmanda uses to enable backups to AWS. When DevPay is discontinued, you will no longer be able to use your...

Hello Andersan. Could you elaborate a bit about what your problem is? Are you having some sort of problem similar to the original posting in this thread? Do the instructions provided above not work?

Sorry Daniele, but I'm not familiar with bacula at all. I've heard of Cloudberry, but I believe it is File System only. You won't get things like MSSQL, Exchange, and such with CloudBerry.

Hello Daniele,

Yes, this is true. Amazon is discontinuing the DevPay program on which Zmanda Cloud Backup is built. As such, ZCB for Amazon S3 will cease to function when DevPay goes offline on...

Hello,

Zmanda Cloud Backup does use mysqldump for MySQL backups. If mysqldump is sufficient for your use, then ZCB should work!

If you need something bigger and better than that, Zmanda offers...

Glad to hear it! :)

Nice to hear you got it to work!

I wanted to post an update to this thread.

The root cause of this particular issue was overlapping backup schedules in multiple backup sets, mostly of the same SQL Server on one of the guest VMs...

Hi Stefan,

Usually this indicates that one or more databases was added to the backup set after the most recent full backup.

Example:
Full backup was taken on Monday, and SQL Server contained...

Hi,

That error means that one or more of the VSS writers required for backup are failing for some reason.

Writers almost always fail for a reason. Normally this has little to do with the...

If you've set ZCB to back up a folder, it should get every file within it during a full backup. What you're doing should work, if the script is set up correctly.

I find that most of the time, when...

In the client, incrementals are numbered. Incremental 1, Incremental 2, and so on.

Taking a new full backup or a differential backup will reset the count.

That's about the only way to know.

You're welcome.

Both retention overrides (full backup and dependent backups) will apply to both local and cloud backups. You can't turn it off for local and on for cloud: it's either on for both...

ZCB is strongly built around the idea of a regular full backup. It's not designed to go with a differential or incremental forever approach.

As such, the retention enforcement isn't really smart...

You will still need to do a full backup every now and then. Diff backups get larger over time. Eventually (depending on your data) it can get very, very large indeed. Taking a new full backup will...

Hello Daniele,

Unfortunately, that's not a good backup strategy with ZCB for two reasons.

1. ZCB is built around the idea of a regular full backup. An "incrementals forever" approach just...

Glad to hear it!

Hi,

I've seen this occasionally after an upgrade, and it usually indicates that some part of the upgrade process wasn't successful.

Please uninstall the program. When asked if you want to...

ZCB 4.10 has been released and includes an internal workaround for this error.

Please upgrade to ZCB 4.10 and reverse the changes to your HOSTS files as recommended above.
