Vss writer Issue


Recommended Posts

I have a remote Server 2003 R2 x64 SP2, with exchange 2007 installed. I back

this up with Backup Exec 11d. I find that i have to re-register/reboot this

server everyday because the writers seen when using the vssadmin list writers

command show that all are waiting for completion. If i dont re-register and

reboot, backups fail. On occasions, they may recover but the exchange writer

will display a retryable error which again means i have to re-boot. Is there

any way to fix this?

RE: Vss writer Issue

 

I'm having the same issue except the writer status is okay. I found an old kb

article but I'm not sure if it applies any more because the pre-req is SP1. I

have a support ticket into symantec. Did you have any sucess with this?

RE: Vss writer Issue

 

are you referring the kb article which discuss com errors seen via event

viewer? Unfortuantely i am still encountering the same issue and have to

reboot everyday to ensure backups dont fail. There has to be another way of

forcing these writers to reset without having to restart the server surely or

at least be a fix?
