Is it possible to disable Microsoft VSS Open File Backup operation for the client having issue? What could be the impact when come to restoration of the VM?- Will_HuntingLevel 4
hi,
1. Check the Volume Shadow Copy service to see if it started.
2. Please post a Windows Open File Backup tab of the Client Attributes dialog box screenshot like this:

Shadow Copy Components is a essential part of Windows, you want that included. That's why ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES also include Shadow Copy Components.
tech note - does not know if it applies. Same error code :Shadow Copy Components / System State backup fails with status code 13: file read failed (veritas.com)
Please post a screenshot of the job details in the activity monitor.
