I have been fighting with this for about a month now. Any backup that tries to run, will fail with this error. I've tried defragging the hard drives (all are under 10%) and have restarted the server. I've changed the VSS settings on each drive to allow for unlimited storage area.
Nothing has helped.
Does anyone have a solution to get this error to go away?? This is running SSR 2013 R2 on a Windows SBS 2011 server.
Thanks.
Which VSS options exactly did you specify? There are a couple of them.
I set the Storage Area Maximum Size to no limit.
Sorry for beeing not specific enough, i meant the VSS options in the backup job.
It does have a system reserved partition and it does appear to run when I unselect that partition. So, what can be done to repair/include the system reserved partition?
The backup HAD been working fine with the reserved partition included recently.
OK, so at least we have narrowed down the problem to that partition..
Can you go to \Program Files\Symantec\Symantec System Recovery\Utility and run the following from a command prompt (run as admin): SmeDump.exe
This will produce a file called debug.txt in the same folder. Please attach that here and I will take a look.
