Recovering a file from Windows Server Backup Issue

Hello All,

We have a server 2019.

Recently, we needed to grab a backup using the windows server backup software on the server.

We could not use the windows server backup process because we would get the error message:

"The following error occured while trying to get the detials of application Registry: Windows Backup cannot find a shadow copy of the backup set on the storage location"

We then did some research to see if we can run this somehow some other way. We stumbled across a CMD syntax that could do the trick. We ran the syntax, however, it was unsuccessful, as we get the below message:

C:\Windows\system32>WBADMIN START RECOVERY -version:07/06/2023-04:00 -itemtype:hyperV -items:7953EA22-0D3C-42D0-8D69-872E7EC35875 -recoveryTarget:R:\WindowsImageBackup\LVH-HOST01\recover -recreatePath

Warning: If a Virtual Machine you are trying to recover to alternate location

was backed up from this host, this will delete and overwrite the original

virtual machine if it still exists.

You have chosen to recover the application HyperV. The files for the

following components will be recovered to R:\WindowsImageBackup\LVH-HOST01\recover.

Note: Recovering the files to an alternate location without involving writer will not recover the

application.

Warning: The virtual machines might not start if their network settings are

different after recovery. After recovery is complete use Hyper-V Manager to

verify the network settings of the virtual machines before they are started.

Do you want to recover the application HyperV?

[Y] Yes [N] No Y

Windows Backup cannot find a shadow copy of the backup set on the storage location.

Is there something we are missing in this? Or did something happen to the file that is causing us not to be able to recover?

    Hi,

    This issue can occur if the ServiceDll registry value for Swprv is missing or incorrect.

    To resolve this issue, perform the following steps:

    Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and hit Enter.

    Locate and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\swprv\Parameters

    Note:

    If the Parameters registry key is missing, perform the following steps: Right-click the swprv registry key, select New, select Key, type Parameters and hit Enter.

    Once the Parameters registry key is selected, verify that the ServiceDll registry value has the following value:

    %Systemroot%\System32\swprv.dll

    If the ServiceDll registry value is missing, perform the following steps:

    Right-click the Parameters registry key, select New, and then select Expandable String Value.

    For the value name, type ServiceDll and hit Enter.

    Double-click the ServiceDll registry value.

    In the Value Data box, type %Systemroot%\System32\swprv.dll, and then click OK.

    Perform a backup operation to verify that the issue is resolved.
