Hi Pavel,

 

We didn't find any error in VSS list writers all the VSS writers are stable and no error in event log.
All the windows 2003 servers are having issue with bacula backup VSS enabling.

NT backup is running successfully with VSS enabled on all the windows 2003.

Hi Ankush,
In win 2003 the VSS service might be disabled or misconfigured. Please take a look:

To check if everything is working:
vssadmin list writers
This has to provide a listing of writers. If there is no listing and errors in the Event log then:

(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184):
Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\Subscriptions
and Restart:
    COM+ Event System
    COM+ System Application
    Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider
    Volume Shadow Copy
or Restart Windows

If previous step doesn't work then:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940032)
Apply MicrosoftFixit50633.msi or manually do:
    cd /d %windir%\system32
    Net stop vss
    Net stop swprv
    regsvr32 ole32.dll
    regsvr32 oleaut32.dll
    regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
    vssvc /register
    regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
    regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
    regsvr32 es.dll
    regsvr32 stdprov.dll
    regsvr32 vssui.dll
    regsvr32 msxml.dll
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Note The last command may not run successfully.

If previous step doesn't work then:
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940349)
Apply WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB940349-v3-x64-ENU.exe for x64 system
And, possibly, do previous steps after that.

Best regards,

Pavel

Hi Team,

Hi Team,

 

Hi Team,

We are running Bacula server(7.0.5) on RHEL 6.x.

If I disable VSS then Windows client get backup and if I enable VSS (default is enable) backup failed.

I need backup with VSS enable.

 

Is Bacula support all windows version with VSS enable?

 

Thank you,

Ankush
