exclude vss writers

[technak]

Hi,

We are using viceversa 2.5 for backup folders on one server to another server every two hours. I checked option use shadow copy to copy open files but we have problems with MS SQL DBs writers. We have also Symantec Backup Exec SW installed on the server where vice versa is running. We found if Backup Exec Console is opened and we start vice versa with option "use shadow copy" something strange happen
- event viewer service is stopped
- network card disappear
- lot of error messages "no more threads can be created in the system" if we open task scheduler

If backup exec console is closed there is no problem. I think that problem is caused by MS SQL writer as I don't need backup DB is there some way how to instruct vice versa not use MS SQL writer during shadow copy creation ?

Thanks and regards,

Hello,

ViceVersa is selecting that writer because the databases must be on the D:\ volume. Can you specify only the folders on the D:\ drive you are interested in backing up ?

thanks
