Volume Shadow Copy failing with error E_UNEXPECTED

[jstandria1]

Volume Shadow Copy creation is failing with error E_UNEXPECTED. The log contains also this info:

Error during the last asynchronous operation.
2012-12-07 21:08:53 : - Returned HRESULT = 0x80042306
2012-12-07 21:08:53 : - Error text: VSS_E_PROVIDER_VETO

What is the error?

thanks

Some other installed software may be denying Shadow Copy Creation with VSS_E_PROVIDER_VETO. Do you have encryption software installed?

Thank you very much for your response.
No encryption is installed.
I finally resolved the issue at the server by looking at the Shadow Copies tab of the Volume Properties. For some reason, there was a limit to the size. I changed it to unlimited and the backup worked fine.
thanks

Great
