Volume Shadow Copy Problem

[Vistaro]

Hi All

I've just started having problems with a long and established backup that fails with the error message "Creating Volume Shadow Copy for C:\ ...
[Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for C:\. E_UNEXPECTED] Error."

I'm running VVPRO 2.5, Build 2504 on WIn 8.1 under bootcamp on a Macbook air, the config hasn't changed for over a year and the back up ran fine until this week.

Any ideas or help appreciated.

Thanks
Ross

Hi, list the status of all writers using command:

vssadmin list writers

in a cmd window.
Is any writer status reported as error or not ready?

thanks

All report "Last Error: No Error" at the command prompt but if I run "VSS WRiters" from the view menu in VVPro I get "VSS WRiters Failed. E_UNEXPECTED"

Hi, try running ViceVersa as administrator , e.g. right click on the ViceVersa program icon and select "Run as Administrator". Then select view ->VSS writer list. thanks
