Guest Alien Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Is there any alternative software for VSS? I'm dealing with VSS writers problem and I'm unable to backup server for quite time. I tried everything, giving me headake for last few months. That leaves me without solution for my problem only to reinstall server. Few days ago I heard that there is solution for VSS. One of them is Open File Manager. Here is the link: http://ofm.evault.com/ Has anyone had experience with alternative VSS solutions and what do you recommend?

Without any useful information, no one will be able to help.

Speaking of my problem... VSS writers don't work so I can't backup system state or any other open files on PDC. But problem is not so important in this topic, I'm asking if anyone tried alternative for VSS, for example Open File Manager. And if someone used some VSS alternative software, what do you recommend?
Guest Nomad Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Re: Alternative for VSS? Hi Alien Are your VSS Writers listed on your box? Start > Run > CMD > vssadmin list writers Do you have any VSS Writers? Because currently I am experiencing the same sort of problem as you, unable to backup a server due to VSS Problems... all my VSS Writers are missing. See Topic in this same newsgroup for "WinServer 2003 SP2 X64 - VSS Problems" (page 2).

See Topic in this same newsgroup for "WinServer > 2003 SP2 X64 - VSS Problems" (page 2). I had same problem. Anything related to VSS failed to operate properly. VSS writers were missing. Then I reregister VSS files, applied KB940349 and restart server. Only difference is that I had W2k3 standard x32 SP1
