Hi Spadapjspadaj, When we examine what happen on test machine here we see it working correctly. Especially that the VSS is present.
you may think we don't backup the snapshot due to the presence of *C:/Users/user/NTUSER.dat* in the log, but you need to understand that is the resulting file name after its conversion in compact.cccompat/compat.cc: 555-307 Leave make_wchar_win32_path=\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Users\user\NTUSER.dat compat/compat.cc:1609-307 sizino=8 ino=0 filename=C:/Users/user/NTUSER.dat desktop-vcf7e32-fd (300): findlib/find_one.cc:911-307 File ----: C:/Users /user/NTUSER.dat desktop-vcf7e32-fd (130): filed/backup.cc:535-307 FT_REG saving: C:/Users/user/NTUSER.dat desktop-vcf7e32-fd (130): filed/backup.cc:646-307 filed: sending C:/Users/user/NTUSER.dat to stored So to be sure we use the same code, could you please install and run the following bareos-fd https://download.bareos.org/current/windows/winbareos-23.0.1~pre57.8e89bfe0a-release-64-bit.exe In your director you set the debug level to 500 for that client (changing the client name in the following example) setdebug level=500 trace=1 timestamp=1 client=windows-fd this will indicate where the tracelog will be written (often directly on C:\) run one backup job then disable the debugging, To extract in text mode the joblog in bconsole @out /tmp/backup-win-fd.joblog list joblog jobid=XXXXX q Then you can zip and attach both trace and joblog here. Add the fileset used too. BTW please ensure your fileset contain Enable VSS = yes as stated in documentation and Windows fileset example.

But apparently we're stuck with local name. MK On 11.01.2024 22:03, Spadajspadaj wrote: The more I dig into it, the more it seems it is bareos after all. Unfortunately, building Windows bareos-fd is no small feat so I cannot directly debug it but. I ran a procmon against bareos-fd.exe and it seems that while the FD process does create a VSS snapshot... it doesn't read from it. It reads the files straight from the main device. I did a small test fileset consisting of just my user's registry file. And both procmon's dump as well as bareos-fd own debug trace shows that it's trying to read simply a c:\users\test\ntuser.dat instead of properly going for \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HardDiskVolumeShadowCopyXX\Users\test\ntuser.dat. That would explain why the job even though it's supposed to use VSS, fails on copying open files. When I created a very small example VS project just creating a VSS snapshot and copying said file out of the VSS snapshot (using the proper shadow copy volume path), it works OK.
