Normally it is a VVS problem, Ntbackup should fail too when backuping up Syatemstate/ASR information. Stopping and restarting VSS service etc wont solve the problem. MS is happy to provide som hotfixes and they will require a reboot. Try 'vssadmin list writes' to check if some VSS writers are in error state.
And when we are talking Windows, a reboot will certainly clear the error state. //Henrik -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Smith, I (Ian) Sent: den 19 oktober 2006 12:04 To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Microsoft volume shadow copy failed I have inherited some old Windows 2000 servers to backup and have installed TSM 5.3.3 client on for standard incremental backup.
