Aomei Backupper Server Freezing Whole Server
We have been using Aomei for doing a full disk backup on our physical server (Windows Server 2016 Standard). About 1 year ago it started freezing up the server every time the backup ran. I had to physically turn the power off and on again to get the server going. After Windows updates it would start working again for a little while but it would soon do that again. Eventually it was just doing that every time so I quit that backup. One local tech I had look at the physical server was thinking it was the hard drives getting old (they are 10 years old) but the next one who looked at it thought it was because the they were too full. But after cleaning them up to only half full, it still didn't work.
Our main server we actually use is a Hyper-V virtual server on there with the same operating system. So I decided to try doing the full disk backup on the virtual server itself. But now when I try that on there, it also freezes up the virtual server completely. It does do a BSOD and then eventually restarts but I'm wondering what I can do to get that backup working. The main error I get there is ATTEMPTED_ SWITCH_FROM_DPC. I tried running WhoCrashed and it points to ambakdrv.sys. Any help would be appreciated.
