[oevb]

I have try to remove the VSP, serveral times from a windows aerver by add/remove programs, even uninstall the NBU client, after reinstall even If I choose that does not install the VSP, is installed, read around many posts and no one helpe to do this task, Do any one know which registry key are the ones to disable it?

You can disble the Snapshot option or change it to VSS, you can use this commands:

# Add the client to the list in case is not there

 bpclient -add -client <client_name>

# once the client is under the master server client attributes select the snapshot:

bpclient -client <client_name> -update -WOFB_FIM <0 for VSP / 1 for VSS>

# Or disable all snaptshots with:

bpclient -client <client_name> -update -WOFB_enabled <0=WOFB disabled, 1=WOFB_enabled>

hope this helps.

Back to BASICS....

Which NBU version on the problematic clients?

bpclient command needs to be run on the Master server. Else in the GUI, go to Host Properties, Client Attributes, add Client name, then select VSS in WOF tab.

the nbu is the 6.5

running over windows 2003 at 64bits

verifying over the master console show uncheck the snapshot in the backup policy

Finaly found the issue was related to Volume Shadow Copy, for some reason was sending a space issue when a backup almost finish, the service was disabled and all backup start working properly
