Hi,
I have a Windows 2003 running clustering. It has a VSS writer issue. It is
unable to backup system state, below is the error message from Backup exec
V-79-57344-34110 - AOFO: Initialization failure on:
"\\XXXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\System?State". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot provider error (0xE000FED1): A failure occurred querying the Writer
status.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
Writer Name: Cluster Quorum, Writer ID:
{41E12264-35D8-479B-8E5C-9B23D1DAD37E}, Last error: The VSS Writer failed.
The operation cannot be retried (0x800423f4), State: Failed during prepare
snapshot operation (8).
I have tried to run NTbackup but is also having issue.
Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.
"Cluster Service Writer" has reported an error 0x800423f4. This is part of
System State. The backup cannot continue.
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f4
Aborting Backup.
The server is running on Windows 2003 Enterprise edition and it is patched
to SP2.
Do advise.
