Backup Failing on Windows Server 2008R2

Question

I am getting an error trying to backup several servers with Backup Exec.&nbsp; I am only getting this on servers that are Windows Clustered.&nbsp;
V-79-57344-850 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "System?State". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
	Snapshot provider error (0xE0000352): The specified volume does not exist. Recreate the volume, and then try the job again.
	
	Please help.
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
&nbsp;
Open a command prompt on each node and type: vssadmin list writers.
All your writers must be Stable and Running...if not, a server restart should fix them.
Thanks!

All of the writers are stable and running.&nbsp;

Try recreating the job as a test on one of the servers to see if it resolves the error.
