My Setup:
2 x WFE Servers running SharePoint Foundation 2010 SP2 installed on Windows Server 2012.
1 x SQL Server running SQL Server 2008 R2. Please note this SQL server is shared and is not dedicated for SharePoint DBs
I decided to install SPF2010 SP2 on a Windows Server 2012 server as this is now officially supported by Microsoft:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2724471
I am looking to backup/restore my farm using the following backup solutions on the basis that the SQL server I am using is not dedicated to Shareoint, which I think rules out the VSS options:
- Data Protector Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007/2010/2013 integration
- Data Protector Granular Recovery Extension for Microsoft SharePoint Server
I have installed HP Data Protector v8.1 and installed the following components on the WFE and SQL server:
WFE:
Disk Agent (A.08.10)
User Interface (A.08.10)
MS SharePoint Server 2007/2010/2013 Integration (A.08.10)
MS SharePoint Granular Recovery Extension (A.08.10)
SQL:
Disk Agent (A.08.10)
User Interface (A.08.10)
MS SQL Integration (A.08.10)
I currently have 2 issues, one with the installation of MS SharePoint GRE and the other is regarding the backup of the Farm.
GRE:
When I try and install the SharePoint GRE Extension, I receive the following error:
[Critical] <pospf01.nbs.int> Post-installation script for the MS SharePoint Granular Recovery Extension failed with the output:
Unhandled Exception: System.OverflowException: Value was either too large or too small for an Int32. at System.Convert.ToInt32(UInt32 value) at SPUtil.Program.Main(String[] args) Install/upgrade failed, for more details check 'shp_gre_setup.txt' log
SharePoint Backup:
When I attempt to backup the farm, I receive the following error:
[Warning] From: OB2BAR_SHAREPOINT@pospf01.nbs.int "SPF_Configuration" Time: 03/06/2014 11:23:36 SharePoint 2007 without SP2 is not supported. Check if SP2 is installed.

[Critical] From: BSM@lab-hpdp-spf.nbs.int "SPF_Backup" Time: 03/06/2014 11:23:38 None of the Disk Agents completed successfully. Session has failed.
I am not sure why I am receiving a warning advising me to check if SP2 is installed for SharePoint 2007, when I have SharePoint 2010 installed.
I would like to know if HP Data Protector v8.1 is known to be able to backup a SharePoint Foundation 2010 Farm running on Windows Server 2012 and if this isn't supported or known to work, when/if HP are planning on adding support for this setup?
I can confirm that the account I am using for the impersonation on the WFE and within the config of GRE has Local admin rights on the WFE, DBO rights on the databases and Farm Admin rights.
