BackupAssist services fail to start

When a scheduled backup runs or you attempt to kick off a test/specific backup, the BackupAssist service fails to start and consequently your backup fails.

Cause

  • The Windows Global Temp Variable - if the Global TEMP variable in Windows is set to a nonexistent drive it can cause the BackupAssist service to fail to start.

  • Windows 2003 SP1? - On certain Windows 2003 servers, after SP1? is applied, the BackupAssist service fails to start.

Resolution

  • Set the Windows Global TEMP variable to a drive that exists - ie C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. To do this Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables

Thanks goes to Olivier Revenu for this investigation and fix.

  • Reinstall the BackupAssist and BackupAssist monitor services. To do this, conduct the following in a Windows command-line prompt window

  1. C:\Program Files\BackupAssist\uninstallService.exe
  2. C:\Program Files\BackupAssist\BAService?.exe -setup
  3. C:\Program Files\BackupAssist\BAMonSvc?.exe -setup
  4. C:\Program Files\BackupAssist\net start wBackupAssist
  5. C:\Program Files\BackupAssist\net start wBAMon


    Figure 1: Reinstalling the BackupAssist Services

This should re-initiate and register the BackupAssist and BackupAssist Monitor services.
