We are using MS Azure Backup to backup our files from a specific folder on a local disk to an Azure backup service however it is not updating the cloud version of some files when they have been updated locally.
The errlog has recorded a number of the following errors
Failed: Hr: = [0x80070005] : CreateFile failed \?\Volume{...}\ with error :5
More worryingly the jobs in question on the jobs list show successful with no indication of any issues.
I only discovered this because 1 job from 3 days ago was tagged as having warning which appears to be a connectivity issue somewhere and came across these entries in the log.
Would someone be able to
Indicate how we can get these changed files to be backed up?
Answer why the MS Azure Backup jobs are listed as successful when these warnings have been recorded?
Thanks
Gavin
It seems like there is a permission issue to the files and folders which you are tying to backup to Azure. Please check if the folders or the drive you are backing up is formatted in NTFS.
Thanks
Hope this help.

We are trying to deploy file to remote server using CopyFilesOverSSH service Copy Files Over SSH task
in Azure DevOps through build pipeline but getting error which is "##[error]Unhandled: handle is not a Buffer" see below image (Error). Even though File has been uploaded on remote server with Zero bytes.
So we don't know why getting this error is there any permission issue on agent-job?
We would appreciate your help.
Error:
Received the same error message from a consistently smooth running pipeline as well. Turned out to be a disk space issue for us.
Please check if the folder is created on the target machine and what permissions it has. The issue may be related to folder permissions. Check the similar issue below:

I had an Azure Log Analytics Worspace with two Solutions and I deleted the Workspace without deleting the Solutions. Now when I try to delete the Solutions I'm getting an Unknown error from the portal.
I've tried deleting the resource using PowerShell but it still doesn't work and I dont't get a specific error also.
Well... It seems that after some time after the Workspace is deleted the Solutions are deleted automatically, but it takes some time and is somewhat confusing. So keeping this question and answer here to save future time of others experiencing the same problem ;-)
I have an automatic backup running each night through the Portal which should back up my Azure database to blob storage as a .bacpac file and up until Friday that had been working successfully.
Each night I get an email error saying:
Automated SQL Export failed for myServer:myDatabase at 5/30/2016 11:35:39 PM. The temporary database copy was made, but this copy could not be exported to the .bacpac file.
Some tutorials suggest logging into the Portal and doing it manually. When I do this it works successfully and I am able to see the file without error. But on the following night, the process fails again (it doesn't recover itself from performing a manual backup). Is there a way to get more information on why it is failing?
In the new Portal, you can find more information via audit log, database level operations will be logged there including import/export.
OK so after further analysis I was able to pinpoint the root cause of my issue to a Stored Procedure.
I had a Stored Proc which was explicitly referencing my database. Whenever the database backup is taken in Azure, it creates a temporary name and at that point, "breaks" the Stored Procedure as it was Self Referencing.
Fixing the Stored Proc has resumed the automatic backups.
An example of a statement the Proc was calling was:
Select Name from MyDatabase.Dbo.MyTable
This should be rewritten as the following to make it exportable:
Select Name from Dbo.MyTable
Note that while I was able to obtain a more meaningful error using a local copy of Sql Server Management Studio, no error was present in the Azure Portal.
Hopefully this will help someone else.
I have a VM with Windows 2012 R2 installed on it, and today I started experiencing file copy problems.
These are the cases:
File Copy;
If I try to copy a folder full of files to another location, the processing is frozen in a random file for some seconds or minutes.
This issue continues randomly untill all the files are copied.
Unzip:
The same as above. If I try to unzip a file, the process in frozen in a random file for some seconds or minutes.
Delete folder:
The same as Copy Files. If I try to delete a folder, it takes looong to start deleting, then the process in frozen in a random file for some seconds or minutes.
RDC:
If I copy from local machine to remote machine using Remote Desktop, the upload is done until the 99%, when the process is frozen for seconds or minutes.
It started to happen today, yesterday was working fine.
Is this a hardware problem? May the disk dying? Or a software problem?
I have even started the Windows Update, but after 30 minutes or so, the downloading contines (0 KB Total).
Any ideas?
Note: there are no errors on Event Viewer.
Looks like the VM File server drive is acting up. Are you seeing this for any other VMs that you have ? Silly question, did you try restarting the VM ? May be some service is on a dead lock.
May be there was a service issue during the time the issue was happening, you should be able to check the state here if it is still happening for your region the VM is present.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/
If it is an expendable VM you can try reimaging it.
If it still acting up, open a support ticket with Azure through the new portal,
To Open a Support Request
Go to the New Portal at https://portal.azure.com
Browse to your VM that is causing the Problem.
You should be able to see New Support Request on the Settings Blade of the VM.
I'm brand new to Azure. I'm trying to get a Cloud Service running with 3 web roles.
Last night I created the .cspkg and .cscfg files, exported the certificates and uploaded everything to Azure manager. The manager said my Cloud Service was successful, however for the last 10 hours when I click on "Cloud Services" in the manager it shows my service, but it says "Creating" with wait gif under "SERVICE STATUS".
Is it really still creating? Or did it fail? Is it possible to view more detailed information about the creation process and/or any log files?
Thanks,
Something "bad" has happened. Service Spin up time should be at most a few minutes.
I've seen it take up to 10-15 minutes depending on the hosting center and the number of scaled instances that need to come up but 10 hrs something has definitely gone wrong.
I would delete the service and start again. If you experience the same problem, have a look in your service start up code and make sure that there's no exceptions/infinite loops, other problems in there that might be causing problems.
It may miss any assembly references. If you included any assembly references(packages that are not part of .net) then please ensure that its copy to local attribute is set to true.
