Andy - Thanks, I looked in the Event Viewer log for VSS and it showed the following error for 10/30/07.
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error calling a routine on the Shadow Copy Provider {b5946137 - 7b9f - 4925 -af80-51abd60b20d5} Routine details EndprepareSnapshots[{3d86e222-9ac6-44c8-9430-5250f66cf955}) [hr = 0x8000ffff] Where do I find the NT log? Andy Huebner wrote:
When we have VSS issues we first look in the NT log for the error. Most of the time that will lead us to a MS solution. What errors are in the NT log?

I know it's a Microsoft Volume Shadow copy issue I just need help on possible solutions Or areas to investigate. Is this error familiar to anyone? I did a search on this an found a hit from 10/24/06 (which I found interesting because these errors started showing up in our clients dsmerror.log around 10/24/07) Anyway there were no replies to that post possibly due to it not being a TSM issue? 10/28/2007 00:19:37 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered.
