VSS SYSTEM SERVICES Backup Broblem

Question

Hi

I am using Networker 7.4 on solaris 10 server. The client is Windows 2003 with SP2 and have NetWorker 7.4 running. While backing it backs up everything correctly except the VSS SYSTEM SERVICE, for which it shows following error:

savegrp: suppressed 10 lines of output -
check daemon.log for details.

Windows Internal Database - ERROR: Failed to save FileGroup files, writer = SqlServerWriter
Windows Internal Database - Error saving writer Windows Internal Database
Windows Internal Database - ERROR: Aborting backup of saveset VSS SYSTEM SERVICES: because of the error with writer Windows Internal Database.
Windows Internal Database - Error saving
7162:(pid 1828): save of VSS SYSTEM SERVICES:\ to data.go2uti.com failed
: Failed with error(s)

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed below.

You are running Windows Server 2008 R2.
You use one or more of the following Windows components:
- Windows SharePoint Services
- Windows Server Update Services
- Active Directory Rights Management Services
- Windows System Resource Manager and UDDI Services.
The above components use a special edition of SQL Server called Windows Internal Database (WYukon) for storing data.

Please refer MSKB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2015904 for additional information.

It seems to be an issue with writer itself which throws the ball into MS playground. MS did release several patches for VSS so you may check those first.

you may look into the event logs of the windows & search for any type of error message for VSS service. Just search the Microsoft support with the error code. You may get the issue resolved.

This problem will also occur if Service Pack 3 for WYukon is applied on a Windows Server 2003 server.
