Good morning all,
I have a quick question on enabling VSS. I have a Windows server we have
been backing up for some time that recently began having failures. The
following is in the nightly backup report.
"28-Aug 22:12 allied-daily-fd: Allied-daily.2008-08-28_20.30.00 Error:
Read error on file E:/DataVault/alliedexch1mailboxes.bkf. ERR=The system
cannot find the file specified."
Knowing the file is there, and permissions are correct, I checked the
event log and found this,
"The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy
storage could not grow in time. Consider reducing the IO load on the
system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow
copied."
Seeing disk space was becoming a smaller I let the server admin know
this was likely the problem and provided some links to
support.microsoft.com addressing the issue. I then went into my bacula
config and commented out "Enable VSS = yes", and then reloaded Bacula.
The next night the backup ran fine, it took longer, but it ran. The
following night the error returned. Looking at the backup report I see
that even though I have "#Enable VSS = yes" in my config the report
states that VSS is still enabled. I have now changed the config line to
"Enable VSS = no" and I will know tonight if that fixed the problem.
My question is once VSS has been enabled, do I need to manually do
something to stop VSS from being used? I am concerned that simply
commmenting out "Enable VSS = yes" is not enough to cause Bacula to stop
using VSS.
Thanks,
DAve
