I have read the multiple threads about VSS error messages that pop up when you install a new USB HDD for backups and I am experiencing the same challenge. Even if I am not using the drive for the back up.
I can not seem to allow for the VSS Storageshadow to be maked as unbounded to be able to use this work around it wants a size allocation.
Has antone created a cheat sheet to get around this error, other approaches that might work.
We are in a MS Server 2008 standard, Backup Exec 12.5, the new hard drive is the seagate 4 TB, and yes it appears to be the size of the sector challenge.
Our charity support from Symantec has expired it appears, so they are unable to assist.
Thanks,
