BESR 8.x issues with OS/pagefile/VSS...

I upgraded from 8.02 to 8.5 on 10/08. The upgrade went well and I don't recall if I had to reboot. I don't believe it prompted me to.

I run a before and after script which apparently was returning a errorlevel of 2 which caused the new

version to fail on that. This is the same script I was using with 8.02 that worked fine. It appears that

maybe this was a bug and is now fixed. I just modified my script to do a "set errorlevel=0" for now to

get around that.

This was the error message for that:

Date: 10/8/2008 21:20:12 PM

Notification Type: Error

Priority: High

Description: Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of OS (C:\), Data (D:\), Exchange (E:\), Backup & Apps (F:\). Error E0BB009C: External command "C:\Admin\Scripts\v2iBackup_after_data_capture.cmd"  returned an error. Error EBAB03F1: The system cannot find the file specified.

Details: 0xE0BB009C

Out of 11 backups I have had only one fail with a different message than I have seen before:

Date: 10/16/2008 21:18:09 PM

Notification Type: Error

Priority: High

Description: Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of OS (C:\), Data (D:\), Exchange (E:\), Backup & Apps (F:\). Error EBAB03E9: Internal Application Error: Memory Access Violation c0000005: Application tried to read memory at 05d6f000.

Details: 0xEBAB03E9

The next scheduled backup on the following day ran just fine. Prior to the upgrade I was starting to fail

2 out of 3 backups. Typically a reboot of the server would make it better for a few days, then it would

start to act up again.

So for other than the after.cmd issue I haven't noticed anything different/strange about the new version

and it definitely seems to be working better for me. I did talk with Technical Support and they said that

8.5 was a pretty major rewrite of the software.

Hope that helps.
