my backups are failing with error VSS writer 'WIDWriter' with class ID '8D5194E1-E455-434A-B2E5-51296CCE67DF' has failed to process the snapshot
please help
each time i start a full backup to the server (windows 2012 R2 standard), i get the following error "the backup threw an exception".
the backup was working a while ago. is there any windows update that may have damaged the backup procedure ?
I have arcserver backup software and it is failing on the system state so I ran a windows backup just for system state and it failed also with only 2 informational events as follows:

A sub company is using Windows Server 2003 and have their backup using windows Backup. Is it possible to backup their data to remote NAS through Internet? This task will achieve offsite backup solution. If can, will buy a NAS and place it into other office.
They won't consider Cloud backup or expensive solution at this moment
Please suggests any NAS product or any solution. Many thanks!
Hello
I created a Full Server (and after tried only Bare Metal) backup in an SMB share using Windows Server Backup. When I tried to restote, I got this error 0x80070001. I read KB973455 and now I know that the fact is that WSBackup does not work with Reparse Points
(aka Junctions or links). The C:\Users is a reparse point to C:\Documents and Settings (or vice-versa). But the problem is when you select Bare Metal Recovery, the WSBackup software does not allow you to exclude anything from the C: drive. So, how can
I use Bare Metal Recovery for Windows Server 2012 R2? Fortunately this was only a test. What could be done if my server had really crashed?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I need to perform a complete system recovery test on our UAT servers.
Current Configurations : NEC EXpress 5800 R120e-2M
Disk Drives : 3 disks ( C:, D: and Y drive )
I tried yesterday but did not succeed.
Steps.
I made a full system backup image on drive Y: It was successful.
Boot the system using Windows 2008R2 bootable CD and select Recover System option.
Problems:
1. Windows could not recognize the disks firstly then I checked the NEC Express 5800 manual and found that I need to load the RAID drivers when Windows asks for the Load Drivers. Drivers were load successfully. It is hardware RAID implemented in the server.
Luckily, Windows detects the current installed operating system but the problem was that,
Windows detects the C: as H: when it displayed the list of installed operating.I tried next but Windows could not detect the backup image and finally gave up.
I saw that all the disks volumes changed as follows
C : drive became H:
D : drive became N:
Y : drive became L:
I am not able to understand this behavior. Appreciate if someone can please provide some insight/information for above problem.
I am stuck at this point and can not test the Windows Full System Recovery on UAT before attempting it on our Production and DR environment.
Finally I booted the server as normal and I can see C,D and Y: drives.
Thanks,
Praveen
