Hi
I am having a problem doing ANY backups using ntbackup, ALL backups are
failing, even a test backup of only a few files, the test backup was done
WITHOUT including system state
I am getting the following reported in the backup log
Phase One Backups OPeration Failed
Error returned while creating the Volume Shadow Copy:0x8004230f
The Event Logs show two events (each listed around 5 times)
EID 11 & 1292 both from VSS
I can give you full details if needed but without cut and past from the
event log it is a pain.
System is a brand new HP ML110 G4, 2GB RAM, 2x 160GB SATA drives setup as
RAID1, running Windows Server 2003 R2 with all latest updates applied. There
is only one server and it is the domain controller
The backups DID WORK as I did several test runs when I first installed the
system, less than two weeks ago.
I downloaded The VSS update as mentioned in KB891957, and have applied this
(rebooted after installed) I did find two other hotfixes mentioned in my
search, KB833167 & 887827, but these seemed to have much older files, so I
have NOT used these.
Volume Shadow Copy Service & the MS Software Shadow Copy Provider services
are set to manual. Is this correct, it seems to be as it is the same on
another server I have checked.
I also found an article that suggested re-registering all the VSS dlls which
I have done as listed here
Net stop vss
Net stop swprv
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Reboot your server.
After reboot, open a command prompt and run:
vssadmin list writers
all writers are displayed w/o errors.
AL help greatly appreciated
TIA
