Warning bpbrm(pid=4772) from client clientname: WRN - can't open object: Shadow Copy Components:\System Service\Event Logs\Event Logs (BEDS 0xE000FEDD: A failure occurred accessing the object list.

there is a technote which suggests applying a msoft patch for VSS, however, this update is included in 2003 SP1 whiich is applied to the server in question

running vssadmin list writers shows one component in the following state
State: Waiting for completion
rebooting the server tonight, hopefully this wll clear it up

2003 shadow copy components have lots of issues, which version of netbackup are you running?

If it is 5.1 then you need to have MP5 to fix this error.

using Netbackup v6 with MP2, backups failed last night, since our SAN switches were rebooted, resulting in lots of downed drives in netbackup, after the reboot though, all VSS writers were in a 'stable' state, hopefully the backups will run ok this evening

restart of server resolved this issue

:( all my Windows 2003 R2 have this error when backing up Shadow copy components.

Hi Glenda,
