VSS Error on windows 2008 server R2 using BE 2012

Hi,

Have you tried to restart the server in question? Also, have you specified a VSS provider in the options for the job, or left it at Automatic? If you did specify which VSS writer to use, change this to the Automatic option and try again.

Thanks!

Ya i done restart and VSS service set to automatic, although the job fails.  We are using MS VSS provider only .. The system writer is not stable ..It is in Timeout only where i checked with vssadmin list writers in cmd .

Set the shadow copy configuration of each drive to no limit.

Once the VSS writers are in a stable state (usually a reboot does this), are you able to get a successful backup using the native Windows backup utility ?

I Am not configure shadoy copy configuration of any drive , before twoo weeks it works fine ...And also that job bakedup up to 1400GB at the end only our job fails and gives above error on event viewer.

I found one article , http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2009272

I enter following commands in command prompt , then system writer is in stable and local system state backup is working fine now .

To resolve this issue, type the following commands from an elevated command prompt:

Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /a 
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\temp\PendingRenames /grant BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
Takeown /f %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\* /a 
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant "NT Service\trustedinstaller:(F)"
icacls %windir%\winsxs\filemaps\*.* /grant BUILTIN\Users:(RX)

net stop cryptsvc
net start cryptsvc

Type the following command to verify that the system writer is now listed:
vssadmin list writers

If the system writer is missing, check the Application event log for the following event:

Open Regedit and navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl.
Change the value of NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE (REG_DWORD) to 1.
You may also want to check the entry for other services (LOCAL SERVICE, NetworkService) as indicated by event 8213.

The 'System Writer' should now show up in the "vssadmin list writers" command:

Writer name: 'System Writer'
   Writer Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
   Writer Instance Id: {04cf6316-f0c5-4ce7-bbe4-e56e6334124c}
   State: [1] Stable
   Last error: No error
