I have also been randomly recieving a VSS error, however it is different
than the one previously mentioned. bacula-dir prints the following message.
Warning: Generate VSS snapshots failed. ERR=The system could not find
the environment option that was entered.
While the following is logged in the Windows event log.
Event Type: Error
Event Source: VSS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8193

This has happened twice, on different clients, and in both cases the
prior and following backups used VSS without a problem. Any ideas whats
causing this one? I can run the client with debugging if it'll help, it
may take a while for the error to pop up again, it's very intermittent.
Client is WinXP SP2 w/all current critical patches (1.37.32)
Server is Debian 3.1 (1.37.30)
BTW Kern, I've also had VSS fail because the windows event log was
full...thought you may like to put something about that in the manual.
Warning: Generate VSS snapshots failed. ERR=the event log is full.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi,
I backup serveral win2003 Servers with vss. This works without problems,
This is good news.
but sometimes i get this error:
Warning: Generate VSS snapshots failed. ERR=Overlapped I/O operation is
in progress.
And then bacula can't backup open files. How can this be avoided?
It is perhaps not very helpful, but I'd say complain to Microsoft.
Bacula Server Version: 1.37.25
Bacula Client Version: 1.37.32
Thorsten:
If the above error message is really correct, perhaps the failure is just a
temporary problem. Do you think that we could wait for say 10 seconds if we
get a snapshot failure and try a second time?
