I added the line “Enable VSS = Yes”
to the fileset and this is the result, 23-Sep 09:51 gig-fd:
Gig-NightlySave.2006-09-23_09.50.49 Warning: VSS was not initialized properly.
VSS support is disabled. ERR=The operation completed successfully. 23-Sep 09:51 gig-fd: Gig-NightlySave.2006-09-23_09.50.49
Error: Read error on file C:/Documents and Settings/jim/Local
Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook/Outlook.pst. ERR=The process cannot
access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file. How do I “properly initialize”
VSS? Thanks From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mantas Marciulaitis Are you using VSS? Volume Shadow Copy
service is actually designed to make backups of locked files like outlook’s
.pst, so it should work with Enable VSS=Yes option in the FileSet config. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Peters I searched through the archives and found
instructions on how use a “run before job” script to shut down
outlook so I can backup the pst file. I have a batch file in the bacula
directory on my windows client that I call from the job with this; Client RunBeforeJob=
"c:/bacula/before_back.bat" This file has only one line
right now; Cscript
"c:\bacula\close_outlook.vbs" And here is the contents of
close_outlook.vbs; Dim oOL Set oOL =
CreateObject("Outlook.Application") oOL.Quit If I run the batch file from
the windows client immediately outlook exits and all is fine, but if I run the
job with bacula I see the command window open up on the windows client then a
windows error message appears saying this; Cannot Start Microsoft Office
Outlook. A program Error has occurred please close outlook and windows then try
again. If I shut down outlook at
this point I get a fatal error in the backup and it terminates the job. If I
just wait for about a min. the windows error message goes away and the backup
continues to work except that it cant back up the outlook pst file and this is
what I see in the message on the console; 22-Sep 01:08 gig-fd: ClientRunBeforeJob: 22-Sep 01:08 gig-fd: ClientRunBeforeJob:

c:\bacula\close_outlook.vbs(2, 1) Microsoft _vbscript_ runtime error: ActiveX
component can't create object: 'Outlook.Application' Doesn’t make sense to my pea brain why I can run this
file by clicking on it from windows and all is well yet when the Bacula-dir
executes it I get this problem. It’s the same file executing either
way???? At any rate does anyone have a solution for this? I am
running office 2003, windows xp and winbacula-1.38.9 on the client and bacula
version 1.38.9 on the director Thanks |
