AOFO: Initialization failure on one of our servers...

I'm using v 12.0 and this is only occurring on one of our servers. The backup is still completing successfully though.

V-79-57344-34110 - AOFO: Initialization failure on: "\\server\E:". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
VSS Snapshot error. The Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot failed. Make sure that all provider services and tasks are running. Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.

I did not see any entries in the event viewer on either machine with regards to this error. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

You can start with a push installation of your RAWS agent and make sure that the AOFO is selected.
If this doesn't work, try uninstalling the agent off that server, and then pushing the installation out again.

Laters!
