Guest Kim Seng Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 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.

These are find only with the V-79-57344-34110 number, but there are more options for it.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Re: VSS writer issue Hello Kim, Think then you have to call Symantec support, maybe they know about the problem. Also i would try phoning MS and talk to them about it, that the problem still exists.

Guest Kim Seng Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Re: VSS writer issue Hi Meinolf, Thanks. I have called Symantec and they have ask me to call MS PSS for assistance as it is out of their job scope. I do not buy any support package with MS PSS and thus I thought of trying my luck in the MS community forum. Thanks anyway.
