I have not gone to 6.5.4 yet, but I know you have to UNDO what you did
with 6.5 to get dfs to work.
So take away your scripts that stop and start dfs and take away the
stuff you put in with regedit

Subject: [Veritas-bu] DFSR backups with 6.5.4 not working

Hi,

Has anyone gotten DFSR backups to work with 6.5.4?

When the backups run and it tries to backup the Shadow Copy Components:\

which, in-turn contains the DFSR data, it sits there forever until the
job 
times out.

Has anyone experienced this issue and/or any workarounds/microsoft 
hotfixes?

> vssadmin list writers (after ~18hrs+ kicking off the job)

Writer name: 'DFS Replication service writer'
    Writer Id: {2707761b-2324-473d-88eb-eb007a359533}
    Writer Instance Id: {79b2d7e7-feeb-416f-8cd8-26593620a358}
    State: [5] Waiting for completion
    Last error: No error

In the system logs:

VssAdmin: Unable to create a shadow copy: Another shadow copy creation
is 
already in progress. Please wait a few moments and try again.
Command-line: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\vssadmin.exe Create Shadow

Has anyone run across this?

Justin.
