I've been able to do backups in CA before from this 2013 SP1 system (and can currently do backups from powershell).  However, I can no longer do any backups at all from CA - the only thing that happens is CA notes "A backup or restore is currently in progress" and a Backup\Restore job gets added to the timer jobs.  Clearing the GUID cache, restarting Timer service, have no effect.  I've started verbose logging and got an error that may pertain to this issue:

The method or operation is not implemented. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUserSettingsProviderManager.Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Backup.IBackupRestore.AddBackupObjects(SPBackupRestoreObject parent)    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm.AddSPPersistedChildren(SPBackupRestoreObject self)

Much thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Chad

Hi Chad,

Did you run configuration wizard after installing SP1?

If not, I recommend to run configuration wizard firstly and then check the results.

If yes, I recommend to run IISRESET.

This issue may be due to the timer job corrupts, so I recommend  to stop the process and to re-run the backup job again.

Go to Central Administration -> Monitoring -> Review Job Definitions -> Select Backup Timer Job and click Delete.

Victoria,

I've run psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait a number of times since SP1, and also as a result of this issue, and have observed no change, should I try different parameters?

I've also done multiple restarts and deleted the timer job, also with no luck.

Thank you,

Chad

Hi Chad,

I recommend to use PowerShell command to check the status of the backup timer job:

Get-SPTimerJob -Identity <SPTimerJobPipeBind> | Format-Table DisplayName,Id,LastRunTime,Status

Where <SPTimerJobPipeBind> can be a valid GUID, and you can refer to the link below:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee748599(v=office.15).aspx#section2

And use PowerShell command Start-SPTimerJob to start the timer job.

Could you please provide the full ULS log here for further research?

Thanks,

Victoria
