Good afternoon,
We currently have TFS 2013 installed and on the same server we have the full version of 2013 SharePoint installed as well. On a totally separate physical server we have SQL 2012 (Full Version) installed, we are using Managed service accounts for SQL server.
When we go thru the backup wizard we get this error
BackupDiskFile::CreateMedia: Backup device failed to create. Operating system error 1326(Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.).
and this on the GUI side.
Image may be NSFW. | TF401002: The SQL Server Database Engine failed to save the database backup to path\\%SERVERNAME%\TFS_Backups. Please grant SQL service account read/write access to that folder. |
Does the wizard in TFS use the managed service account to backup? It does seem to be using that, the wizard adds the permission for the managed service account on the share and on the NTFS side but it does not work. As a long shot I added that managed service account in SQL giving it the sysadmin role even and nothing.. Same error. I'm not opposed to manually backing up TFS but is this my best option?
We currently backup SQL using netbackup and it works pretty well. I plan on backing up SharePoint in the same fashion once I finish reading the book on that.
If going manually for backing up TFS I would think the following would be true for the restore process.
Step1-Restore SQL Databases
Step2-Restore Sharepoint
Step3-Install TFS and point it to these databses?
Does that sound like a good DR plan? I plan on testing this in the coming days but I wanted to know if I'm missing something.
Let me know what you think,
Tim
