VSS Volume Shadow Copy
Hi guys,
There is an backup problem which I hope you guys could help me with. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Recently, I had another team member of mine who configured shadow copies snapshots...
You should configure your shadow copy component snapshots to be done during the time when there is no backup job running.
For your backup jobs, enable AOFO and let it automatically select the technology.
Please be aware VSS is NOT only used for Open File backup, nearly all backup processes in the current range of Microsoft Opersting systems make use of VSS. What this means is that disabling AOFO is no longer a way to ensure that a VSS operation will not take place during a backup.
Oh and with regards your issue have you deleted all the existing Shadopw Copy Snaphsots from the volumes - as disabling and / or stopping future ones might not be enough you probablty need to remove the saved ones to fix your problem.
