I have been using Bacula to back up a Windows 10 virtual machine client in addition to a number of physical Linux clients without any problems for several years.
Recently I upgraded the win10 vm to Windows 11, and I am now getting an error message from the VSS snapshot system. I don't know if this is a permission problem. I also don't know how serious it is - is just one file affected, or is all of C:\ affected? The error message is a bit confusing, because it says there is a read error on the file and the media is write protected. I've tried deleting shadows using vssadmin but that didn't help. The file that is triggering the error is on a Nextcloud shared directory, but that was working fine with win10. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Any guidance would be appreciated.
