Vss error win2012 r2 - VSS OTHER
Hi,
we got a few Win2012 r2 machine to be backed up, same build VM template.
We do a FS backup all files, but also tried single file.
First machine backs up just fine, remaining 3 machines get this error:
VSS OTHER: ERROR: VSS failed to process snapshot:
90108:save: Unable to save the SYSTEM STATE save sets: cannot create the snapshot.
Now i looked at vssadmin list writers and all writers including system writer are state[1] and look fine.
Event/App logs show no VSS errors besides a notification - vss timeout 3min after Networker Error (as expected).
Applogs show this Networker error:
ID 1
Could not perform a VSS save operation. unable to save the SYSTEM STATE save sets:cannot create the snapshot.
It looks like Networker doesnt call the system writer for some reason for this save set?
Now i ran DBG9 from NMC and get this (i extracted the VSS part):

Thanks for your time to respond.
Unfortunately not applicable here as i do not get any VSS errors & ID's in eventlogs or syslogs as stated, only event id 1 Networker error.
So no reason to diskpart etc due to no eventlog indication.
However the db9 logs show:
This is the ASR writer and Networker seems not to like it.
ASR writer is in state[1] - no errors in app/eventlogs.
Should i re register this ASR writer as it states is not supported OR is this a Networker issue due to no other system errors?
Thanks!

Here is the culprit:
07/26/18 03:59:09.780095 fullcanon(name=\\?\Volume{051a7d74-88d7-11e3-80b3-806e6f6e6963}\)
07/26/18 03:59:09.781094 exit fullcanon(fullname=\\?\Volume{051a7d74-88d7-11e3-80b3-806e6f6e6963}\)
Check if you have a software installed on this machine which appears in critical writers list or it has left stale path(unclean uninstall) which system is still referring as critical
Do this on cmd prompt as Admin:
diskshadow /l c:\details.txt
list writers detailed
quit and open C:\details.txt to find what do you have under fullcanon and is that even a valid path.

Thanks very much for your response.
I can see the volume and one path (BOOT) listed in the writers details, however no mention of fullcanon:
Checking volumes:
So we are on the right track, I am still unsure on how to fix it.

Try this disable VSS by entering vss:*off in Client Properties under Save Operations and backup Non-critical Volumes.
You can also try save set as All-nfts and see if it works.
Check if OS is allowing to create Snapshots .
Go this client in question use save -o VSS:LCV=yes to list critical volumes.
