You might want to try some suggestions mentioned there. I looked through the section but short of enabling debugging/tracing (for which I really don't have time) there was nothing that immediately helped. Thankfully the age old Windows mantra helped (minor problems, reboot, major problems, reinstall :). I remembered the server was already acting up after trying to zip a lot of / large logfiles (explorer kept crashing, so zipped via network after mounting it on a Linux box, then forgot about it). shutdown /f /r /t 1 told me it was busy, come back later, so I powercycled the machine, problem solved. I got a similar, but slightly different problem on two other machines however (the above didn't report VSS errors, just files being locked), and a reboot didn't help here. After looking at the differences with working machines (Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service and Volume Shadow Copy service both set to manual), I found the Volume Shadow Copy service didn't exist and 'windows\system32\vssadmin.exe list providers' returns and error about not being able to find the service (bacula complains with 'Warning: Generate VSS snapshots failed.'). After some Googling I found http://www.msfn.org/board/lofiversion/index.php/t70962.html which might help, but I decided not to pursue this since the two machines are to be decomissioned soon anyway. I have no idea how the Volume Shadow Copy service went AWOL, installing SP2 might also fix it (machines have SP1 on now). Additionally, this might help as well: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/891957 The eventlog contains the following three entries (twice): Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error OpenService (shSCManager, 'VSS', SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS). hr = 0x80070424. data: - Code: TRCTRCC00001457 - Call: BUECXMLC00006483 - PID: 00000236 - TID: 00001688 - CMD: "C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin\bacula-fd.exe" /service -c "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf" - User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM - Sid: S-1-5-18 - Error: OpenService (shSCManager, 'VSS', SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS) Volume Shadow Copy Service information: The COM Server with CLSID {e579ab5f-1cc4-44b4-bed9-de0991ff0623} and name Coordinator cannot be started. [0x80070424] data: CMD/User/Sid same as for next entry Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80070424. data: - Code: BUECXMLC00003954 - Call: BUECXMLC00003933 - PID: 00000236 - TID: 00001796 - CMD: "C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin\bacula-fd.exe" /service -c "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf" - User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM - Sid: S-1-5-18 So basically for these two machines it looks like VSS couldn't start and hence the complaints about locked files, perhaps something similar is going on for you. BTW, we do have antivirus running and it doesn't seem to be a problem regarding locked files (and as it happens no AV is running on the two problem machines). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
