I have a Windows Server 2012 machine that keeps failing with Windows Server Backup. If I reboot the server, the backup will work fine for a day or tow, but then it will start failing again until I reboot the server again.
The error in the backup manager says "The shadow copy provider had an error."
The event log error is as follows:
Source: VSS
Event ID:12289
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error CreateFileW(\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy160,0xc0000000,0x00000003,...). hr = 0x80070005,
Access is denied.
.
Operation:
Removing auto-release shadow copies
Loading provider
Context:
Volume Name:
\\?\Volume{4bb90a74-0f22-11e3-93f3-00155d59e900}\
Execution Context: System Provider
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
