Thank you for the help
I am backing up 40gb of data from the server that is causing the problem. My disk free space is 215gb and I have a Backup Exec AOFO Store folder on that drive.
On 041805 I ran a backup with manual settings for the snapshot cache file settings (VSP)as follows:
Initial= 0MB Maximum= 50MB
This resulted in a failed backup with the following error:
Snapshot provider error (0x46B): A potential deadlock condition has been detected.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
Snapshot error during backup. Set has been canceled.
So I went back to the default and now it fails with the recent error. I am going to try your suggestions on tonights backup.
Thanks again
Darren
