Re: [Bacula-users] VSS problems
excuse. if FDs are with 1.38, VSS isn't implemented if I remember well you should upgrade your FDs to 2.2.6 Cordialement Jean-Sébastien Hederer - Gérant ASPerience Conseil, intégration, hébergement de systèmes informatiques spécialisé en solutions logiciel libre de gestion d'entreprise Mob.: 06 69 56 21 49 Tél.: 02 51 13 50 94 Fax.: 02 40 68 70 06 XMPP/Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.asperience.fr http://www.viadeo.com/fr/profile/jean-sebastien.hederer IanCar a écrit le 04/02/2008 17:49 : I've recently installed bacula 2.2.6 on Centos with FDs 1.38.10 on XP and Windows 2003.

Re: [Bacula-users] VSS Problems
I have also been randomly recieving a VSS error, however it is different than the one previously mentioned. bacula-dir prints the following message. Warning: Generate VSS snapshots failed. ERR=The system could not find the environment option that was entered. While the following is logged in the Windows event log. Event Type:Error Event Source:VSS Event Category:None Event ID:8193 Date:8/16/2005 Time:10:28:45 AM User:N/A Computer:WS-HQ-R202-1 Description: Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x800401f0. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Data: : 42 55 45 58 4d 4c 43 00 BUEXMLC. 0008: 33 31 33 00 00 00 00 00 313. 0010: 42 55 45 58 4d 4c 43 00 BUEXMLC. 0018: 33 30 38 00 00 00 00 00 308. This has happened twice, on different clients, and in both cases the prior and following backups used VSS without a problem. Any ideas whats causing this one? I can run the client with debugging if it'll help, it may take a while for the error to pop up again, it's very intermittent. Client is WinXP SP2 w/all current critical patches (1.37.32) Server is Debian 3.1 (1.37.30) BTW Kern, I've also had VSS fail because the windows event log was full...thought you may like to put something about that in the manual.
