Exceptions, not sure how to stop it!!!

[ltjimster]

Hello guys,

i've been getting an exception message for the last couple of weeks which is;

Backup- \\servername\Shadow?Copy?Components

VSS Snapshot warning. File D:\RemoteInstall\Setup\*.* /s is not present on the snapshot.

Anyone know how to stop it, it's to do with Windows Deployment Services apparently

Thanks

As a workaround create a dummy text file at the above location. BE will stop throwing  execeptions

once it detects the dummy file.

Have a look at this KB - http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH141746  or http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH126412

Either ways, try creating a dummy file, or try to exclude this file from the backup or check the registry as the value/path might not be entered properly

What should i call the file, it doesnt specify a file really, just the SETUP folder which isn't there?

Thanks

Create SETUP folder, during next backup BE might throw an expecption with the file name.

Hi James,

You can also open up your selection list and put in an exclusion for that folder. THis way BE should simply skip over it during the backup.

Thanks!

I'll try with the dummy setup folder first and see what happens then try the option that Craig mentioned.

Thanks for your quick replies guys

Hi guys,

I didn't get round to doing any of those ideas but i did before i created this thread, stop the Windows Deployment Services thinking maybe because it was because it was running and it hasn't come up with the exception message.

I will try again tonight and see if the exception message comes up, it might of been coincidence :)

Thanks

Turning off the Windows Deployment Services seems to of worked
