Hello...I am getting error when backing up the System State on a domain controller. (Windows Server 2003)
The job log error is:
V-79-57344-34086 - Snapshot Technology: Initialization failure on: "System?State". Snapshot technology used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
Snapshot technology error (0xE0008526): Backup Exec could not locate a Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) software or hardware snapshot technology for this job. Select a valid VSS snapshot technology for the target computer.
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
And the event viewer on the domain controller does show 2 VSS errors.
1) Volume Shadow Copy Service error. Unexpected error calling routing CoCreateInstance. hr =0x80070057
Event ID: 8193 Source: VSS
2) Volume Shadow Copy Service information: The COM Server with CLSID {faf53cc4-bd73-4e36-83f1-2b23f46e513e] and name VSSEvent cannot be started.[0x80070057]
