Having had system center 2012 sp1 working within our system, albeit somewhat flakily, since it came out it has developed a problem which I cannot find the answer to. I currently have 15 protection groups backing up 22 servers, both local and remote. Altogether the used disk space is 15tb and I have 4tb free. Last friday at lunch time everything synchronised fine and create the relevant recovery point. Since then 10 groups are still working fine and 5 are having problems. As an example: a group that is backing up the fileserver is backing up 4 different drive letters. F is backing up, G is backing up, M is backing up but H decided to abandon ship yesterday (tuesday lunch time) and is now saying replica inconsistent. If you run a consistency check on it, it runs and gives you a green tick but doesn't write a recovery point.
I deleted the least important of the groups and recreated it from scratch, manually importing the data (250+GB) having created a new protection group. The same thing happened. Any ideas as to what this could be?
I also have the problem of my tapedrive currently saying it is offline and not connecting, it connected back once today and then went offline again. I cannot recreate the XML file for the dpmla as the exe to do this does not work and if i recreate it manually it doesn't make a difference either.
Thanks for any help in advance.
