e000ff19 and e000ff16: communications failure SQL & VSS

Hi all. We have a problem with BESR 2010 on 2008 R2 64 bit and a MSSQL server 2008 enterprise on a 2008 R2 64 bit (SQL Agent).

The full backupjob is always ok, but incremental fails always with VSS errors, and sometimes with SQL errors:
e000ff16 - A communications failure has occurred with a Shadow Copy resource.
e000ff19 - A communications failure has occurred with a SQL Server resource.
I don't find any solution for this problem, I already searched 4 days long. Yesterday I tested an incr. backup and kept looking at the VSS service (on the client of course): when it shut down because it was idle, I startet it again manually and the backup was then OK. But when the backup runs alone without any intervention, it fails with the errors above and I think it's because of VSS that goes sleeping when it's idle.

I already tried to change the backup sequence, doesn't change anything.

If you need any other info feel free to ask ! I'm really desperate, and I'm also not a windows expert...

Thanks !

  • (Re)register a bunch of DLLs, run file checker... I'm tempted to try this blindly, but why do you think this will work for this particular problem?

  • Issue with SQL SErver on 2008 Box you will have to Create and Execute a batch file named, FIXVSS08.BAT:
    Please note the following:

     

    • You will need to run the batch file as Administrator.
    • This is only for Windows 2008 not Windows 2003.
    • After running the bat file, you will need to reboot the server to bring all of the writers into a stable state.

     Copy and paste the following into Notepad, then click Save As, to save it as FIXVSS08.BAT.

     

    rem FILENAME: FIXVSS08.BAT

  • Thanks for your reply.

    I don't know if I can, and if yes, how it works/what I have to do.
