Re: [Networker] System Writer - Warning: Failed to save connecting dir

Hi,
My guess, is that atlest in Windows 2003, inetpub directory should be left 
alone on C drive, as there are OS and IIS hooks that will look for that 
directory on C, you can still configure inetpub on IIS  and E drive, just 
leave the default C:\inetpub alone ( don't use it).

System Writer - Warning: Failed to save connecting dir






Hi,

We're having problems with the backup of the saveset "VSS SYSTEM FILESET" 
on a windows server 2008 client.
We're using networker 7.4.2 server and client, the output of the saveset:

System Writer - Get file attributes returned error 3 for VSS file 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy11\inetpub\custerr\en-us
System Writer - Warning: Failed to save connecting dir 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy11\inetpub\custerr\en-us
System Writer - Get file attributes returned error 3 for VSS file 
\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy11\inetpub\custerr\en-us\500-100.asp
System Writer - ERROR: Failed to save filegr files, writer = S
System Writer - Error saving writer System Writer
System Writer - ERROR: Aborting backup of saveset VSS SYSTEM FILESET: 
because of the error with writer System Writer.
System Writer - Error saving
39078:save: RPC error: RPC cannot encode arguments

The location of the inetpub directory was changed from c:\inetpub to 
e:\inetpub. Maybe this is causing the error, but the locations have been 
changed in IIS too, I don't know where else this should be changed?
