SSR2013 Snapshot Failure on Windows Server 2012 Essentials

I''ve changed the shadow copy settings so that there is no limit set on shadow copy as suggested by the below blog:

Restarted the services but no luck

Which volumes are you backing up?

Process of elimination here......try backing up one volume at a time to see if the problem is specific to a certain volume or not.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for responding.

I've now tried both individually and both come up with the same error.

Any more thoughts?

Hi Pravin,

Thanks for the help but this does not apply to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials Operating System.

any more ideas?

Can you provide the output of running vssadmin list shadowstorage ?

Hi Chris,

See attached

It's possible that the issue is related to this: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH205081

Using vssadmin are you able to create shadow copies for your volumes? If yes, the issue is probably with SSR.

I haven't tried this yet, i will be shortly.

I don't suppose there are any patches/service packs available for SSR2013 yet?

Service Pack 1 is due around end of May (date is subject to change).

Let us know regarding creating shadow copies using vssadmin.
