ntbackup on Win 2003 Srv stops working

[Guest Adam]

After applying recent Ms updates to Win 2003 Srv SP1 on Intel 32 CPU my

ntbackup stop works. It shows report: "Error returned while creating the

volume shadow copy:0x80042306". I've read some articles in Ms Knowledge Base

and decide to apply SP2. Ntbackup start works but survive only one system

reboot. After reboot it stops works again with message as above. Has anybody

any advice?

You might have to re-register the Volume Shadow service:

I try to use your advice. Unfortunately, loading library msxml4.dll failed.

Command "vssadmin list writers" shows no writers at all. After reboot,

ntbackup shows only "preparing to shadow copy ..." and no more. If no more

advices, I need to install server again from scratch. As usual with Ms

updates. If not applied, your system is open for hackers. If aplied, your

system died.

I've followed your advice. Unfortunately, loading library msxml4.dll failed.

Command "vssadmin list writers" shows now no writers. Ntbackup shows only

"preparing to shadow copy ..." and no more. If no other advices, I need to

reinstall server from scratch. As usuall with Ms updates. If not applied,

your system is open to hackers. If applied, your system died.

Re: ntbackup on Win 2003 Srv stops working

 

If you get error 12303 in the event log, try this (it helped me), but do on own risk:

 

To fix this problem do the following:

1. Backup the follwing regkey: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\Subscriptions

2. Erase the regkey

3. Reboot.

4. Verify that things are working by running "vssadmin.exe list writers".

 

 

Else, check your eventlog and search the web for the error.
