    Hi there!

    I have a major Problem with the Acronis VSS Provider; I made some screenshots and will guide you chronological through my problem which lasts already two days.

    For evaluation purposes i tried to install the actual Acronis True Image Enterprise Server TRIAL build 3633, but the

    installation failed, exactly with the same symptoms like in this thread:

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=128784.

    So i didnt follow up this problem...

    Next Day, i had a problem with my Veritas BackupExec for Windows Server V 10 Software, with following errormessages:

    So the Shadow Copies Components generating problems...a look in the Eventviewer:

    So the object {5fc845eb-f299-40f0-9725-34045f7ea8ba} makes the problems... after some research i identified the object. In the Component Services there is an entry called "Acronis VSS Provider"; So this entry must has been installed with the unsuccessful installation the day before. Weird.

    With the vssadmin command line tool, there is also an entry as hardware provider:

    I thought, it shouldn't be that hard to remove this entry. It cost me a whole day of research in the internet, but i didn't find any helping answers.

    Again, i never installed acronis on this server... maybe somebody here can help me


    greets

    I finally fixed this annoying problem!. After researching on the Internet for an hour or so, I came upon this post showing the exact issue that I was having. Since I couldn't unregister snapapivss.dll since I had already uninstalled Acronis, I decided to just remove the VSS provider from the registry. I searched the registry for the CLSID of the VSS (in this case "da611") and removed that entry from the currentconrolset area (there were only 3 instances of it). Once that was done, I was able to use NTbackup to backup my files. Make sure you export that key first, just in case.
