couldnt he switch copying services to resolve this problem? switch from volume shadow service to the other?

 

if the the above link still didn't resolve the issue, try to switch services from vss to rss. open the command prompt and put this command:

cd \$ISR\$APP\Setup hit enter

ISRSetup -install -rss hit enter

 

I had this issue and solved it via changing the copy engine. FDISR (by default) uses the RSS copy engine (a Raxco product) I switched copy engines to the Microsoft copy engine, VSS:

cd \$ISR\$APP\Setup hit enter

ISRSetup -install -vss hit enter

re-boot and you should be OK

hth,

...screamer

 

As soon as the problem appeared i rebooted........when this did nothing i reinstalled.....still no fix so i posted here...the offered solutions did not work.....thanks though........any other thoughts ?

 

Is it necessary to have Volume Shadow Copy Service enabled for the program to work ?

 

@ Pete no other programs.........i changed Volume Shadow Copy Service to manual, went back to rss and now all seems to be working..

A thank you to all ...
