ntbackup fails, VSS related error

Hello,

I just used this product to move my Windows Server 2003 to a new hard drive last night (worked flawlessly!). However, my nightly ntbackup failed:

Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:0x8004230f.

Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f
Aborting Backup.

There is also this error logged in the Application Event Log:

Source: VSS
Event ID: 12293
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error calling a routine on the Shadow Copy Provider {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}. Routine details Cannot ask provider {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5} if volume is supported. [0x8000ffff] [hr = 0x8000ffff].

I uninstalled the product, rebooted and tried it again, but I'm getting the same error. I'm fairly certain that this has to do with Acronis VSS Provider screwing things up, but I have no idea how to fix it.

I appreciate any help, thanks!

 

Also, I want to add that the SBS Backup Configuration Wizard errors out with the following message:

An unexpected error occurred (80070057). The parameter is incorrect.

I've been scouring the web all day trying to find a solution to my backup woes, to no avail. I'd appreciate any offers of assistance! Thanks!

 

According to Acronis Support in this post, TI 10 Home doesn't use any VSS services.

You might also take a look at this post by Acronis Support.

What version and build of TI did you use?

 

I actually used the version that is relabled as Seagate DiscWizard. Sorry if this is an inappropriate forum to post this in, but I could not find any support options on Seagate's site.

When I first checked the backup log this morning, I also noticed that there was an Acronis VSS service that failed to load, which is what led me to unistall DiscWizard, and eventually led me here. Thanks!

 

I'm receiving the same error in event viewer: 12293. I use Symantec Backup Exec 11d and it is reporting error: V-79-57344-34110 and my backup job is failing.

I'm using:
Windows Server 2003 SBS Standard SP2
TrueImage Enterprise Server 9.1 build 3832

The trouble started after scheduling a nightly incremental job in TrueImage last week. The software listed above has been running in parallel for a few months without a problem.

Any help would be appricated!

 

I loaded the newest build of TrueImage and rebooted and all is working correctly now.
