Hi, hoping someone can help me out.
I have a Standard 2008 Server, that is running Virtual Server 2005. There are two virtual machines and we are using Backup Assist for backup purposes.
Backups are failing and event viewer gives me these errors:
Event 521 - Backup started at '29/11/2013 11:30:42 AM' failed as Volume Shadow copy operation failed for backup volumes with following error code '2155348129'.
Event 5634 - Backup job Full Backup WHVVM failed with errors. Critical error: Unable to create VSS snapshot
There are no other VSS errors that I can find in event viewer, sharepoint isn't installed either.
I noticed on Virtual Server 2005 Virtual Server Administration website it was spitting out:
11/29/2013 10:35:04 PM Vss Writer The VSS writer for Virtual Server failed during the PrepareBackup phase, since the backup of virtual machine WHVSRV failed. Retry the operation.
WHVSRV is one of the Virtual Machines. WHVSRV event viewer has a lot of VSS and SQLVDI errors.
Event 6013 - Sqllib error: OLEDB Error encountered calling ICommandText::Execute. hr = 0x80040e14. SQLSTATE: 42000, Native Error: 3013
Error state: 1, Severity: 16
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error message: BACKUP DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Backup Assist is doing an Online Backup of both the Virtual Machines, so I've tried disabling the whvsrv backup to try to determine if that is where the fault lies. I should know more by tomorrow. Does anyone have any information on the Event 6013 on WHVSRV, are there any particular log files I should check?
Thanks,
