VSS Error when doing backups

[Guest Jamie]

I have a problem when running backups on my Small Business Server 2003 R2

service pack 2 with the VSS.

 

When running backups with retrospect 7.5 I get lots of errors:

 

Trouble reading files, error -1018 (not enough memory)

http://kb.dantz.com/display/2/articleDirect/index.asp?aid=7962&r=0.3537104

 

Which I have been told is fixed with the following patch:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833167

 

However the patch does not install it gives the following error:

Setup has detected that the service pack level of the system is newer than

that of the update you are applying.

 

You do not need this update.

 

 

I do need some kind of update as I receive lots of errors when backing up

that seem to indicate VSS.

VSS Error when doing backups

 

Try the current rollup for VSS:

Availability of a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) update rollup package for

Windows Server 2003 to resolve some VSS snapshot issues

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349

 

After installing the hot fix, if the issue is not resolved, please review

the link below.

Error message when you run the "vssadmin list writers" command on a Windows

Server 2003-based computer: "Error: 0x8000FFFF"

Also you may want to rebuild the System Volume Information Folder. This post

may help.

 

NTBackup: This file will not ...Time: 1 minute and 47 seconds Resolution: 1.

Stop the Volume Shadow Copy service. 2. Rename the System Volume Information

Folder 3. Start the VSS Service. ...

RE: VSS Error when doing backups

 

Dave,

 

I tried the VSS update patch. The error still occurs when retrospect does

the backup of the mailbox's.

 

I am not sure about the second link you posted, it does not appear to be

related to my error. I have not seen the VSS writers error described in that

KB article.

Re: VSS Error when doing backups

 

Robert,

 

I am unclear on rebuilding the SYSVOL in this manner, is there a more

detailed instruction of this procedure?

 

Cheers
