0xe00084af error and vss problems
Hello! i need help!
Symantec 13.0.2896, Windows 2008 r2.
I cant backup my server. Seems like after some windows updates.
0xe00084af error - The directory or file was not found, or could not be accessed.
I can backup the systemstate, but when i try to copy "c:" i have got a error.
Root of the problem is V-79-10000-11219 - vss error.
First of all i have read this ( http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH71644 ) thread and i had checked the scenarios, i already done all recommendations and have no result (
There is only one event on the server about this backup - 8224 "the VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout"
any thoughts?
So, the problem was in some very strange link files. One of them was c:\restore\server_name_restore.vdmnt as a link file to the folder c:\restore. I dont know what was that but i suggest that this folder was made after restoring this server to another location (restore test). Restoring was some months ago, and the problem with backup is just 2 weeks old. I really dont understand this but after deleting this links, my backup job is finishing with success.
ps. Strange that Symantec showed in the errors on a pass files in a folder windows\system32 and why, after the removal of links (not leading to system files) all working fine.
