ESET 7.1.12006.0 on Windows HYPER-V host and DPM issues - backup jobs are failing


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

My best wishes for a happy new year to everyone!

I would like your support for a strange issue that we have been experiencing recently. We upgraded many of our Windows server 2012 R2 datacenter hosts from ESET file security 6.5.something to the ESET file security 7.1.12006.0 and since then all backup jobs were failing. We are using Microsoft DPM 2016 for performing backups of virtual machines on hyper v hosts and with 6.5 version everything was working fine without any further configuration. 

Below some further info to help you understand the case:

  • we restarted the servers multiple times after installation
  • once we remove eset file security 7.1 all backups are working fine
  • firewall rules on windows are set properly.
  • tried to install all windows updates
  • tried to disable all features of file security one by one without success

in some cases i was also experiencing issues like those described for 6.5 version here https://support.eset.com/en/system-is-unresponsive-or-crashes-with-eset-products-installed-era-62

as i have very limited maintenance windows and i cannot perform safe troubleshooting with try and error i would appreciate if someone else can share his experience or thoughts.

The only issue related to backup that we are aware of is the following error:

Error: Windows Backup failed to get an exclusive lock on the EFI system partition (ESP).

Could you confirm or deny that your issue is like that? If your issue is different, I'd recommend raising a support ticket with customer care.

No, its not an issue relevant to Error: Windows Backup failed to get an exclusive lock on the EFI system partition (ESP).

there is no message in eset or windows that could indicate something to help

Since upgrading to 7.1.12006.0 on our clients HyperV hosts (and others), we are also seeing similar issues. Backup jobs wont finish in DPM. They are all in an inconsistent state and wont complete. Previous versions were all over place 7.0/6.X

DPM backups that occur direct to a VM (like exchange DB backup, or SQL DB backup work fine. Just any that connect to HyperV to do child backup fail. 

Client is using DPM 2012. 

The hyperv servers have been noted as having following error reported since upgrade occurs once a day. 

 

Faulting application name: DPMRA.exe, version: 4.1.3465.0, time stamp: 0x543d17c5

I would recommend opening a support ticket and providing:
- logs collected with ESET Log Collector
- a Procmon log created when the issue occurs; make sure to temporarily disable protection service in the HIPS setup and reboot the system.

Hello

 

it seems that by performing full windows updates (after february) on the hosts the problem has been resolved/stabilized
