I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster that has a service that is installed on shared storage. On the passive node, the system state backups are failing because the path to the service executable does not exist. KB980794 existed for Server 2008, which contained a hotfix and a registry key that could be added to exclude the paths to binaries that should not be included in the system state backup.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemWriter\ExcludedBinaryPaths
Is there a similar method of excluding these paths in Windows Server 2012 that will allow the VSS snapshot to execute successfully?
