When I run this command: Backup-SPFarm -Directory \\server\share\backups -BackupMethod Full -Item "Farm\Shared Services\Shared Services Applications" -Verbose I am receiving this error: FatalError: Object Search Service Application failed in event OnBackup. For more information, see the spbackup.log or sprestore.log file located in the backup directory.  FaultException: Management called failed with System.InvalidOperationException: 'Job failed: Have tried to perform backup/restore operation twice on all in-sync members in cluster... Here's the issue: the share location was locked down. I had the Farm account and SQL service account in there with Modify permissions, but some other account needed to have to have write permissions. I actually just gave "Authenticated Users" write permissions to the subfolder because I couldn't successfully pinpoint the failure with reasonable certainty.

I created a new web application and site collection on SharePoint 2013 Enterprise. Everything worked great until the users tried to open Excel documents. They were challenged with and Excel Services error:   We don't know what happened, but something went wrong.  Could you please try that again? The issue was that the document library was configured to open documents in the  browser  as it's default behavior. I changed it to Client Application and all was working as expected. Go into Site Contents click the three dotted menu then Settings. Go to Advanced Settings: Select Open in the client application: If you are truly trying to get Excel Services to handle the file, you will need to configure this as a trusted site and perhaps modify the permissions on the Temp directory to allow the application pool account to modify.
