Hi,
I am backing up a server through DPM 2012 R2 UR9.
The problem Im having is that one drive is failing on a server that is protected.
When I start the backup it doesnt transfer any data. I´ve run "vssadmin list writers" on the server and nothing is abnormal. There is also enough free space for shadow copies to be created.
I have also restarted the server and the Cryptographic Services.
While backing up the F: drive on the server I get the following error in DPM,
"The VSS application writer or the VSS provider is in a bad state. Either it was already in a bad state or it entered a bad state during the current operation. (ID 30111 Details: VssError:The specified object was not found. (0x80042308))"
"Please check that the Event Service, the VSS service and the shadow copy provider service is running, and check for errors associated with these services in the Application Event Log on the server SERVERNAME. Please allow 10 minutes for VSS to repair itself and then retry the operation."
When I am checking in eventviewer for VSS error I find the following,
"Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine GetVolumeNameForVolumeMountPoint is now failing on the volume, winerror 0x00000001. . hr = 0x80070001, Incorrect function."
and
"Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The shadow copy could not be committed - operation timed out. Error context: DeviceIoControl(\\?\Volume{cadf72ad-6468-42af-8ba5-04f2755f7435} - 0000000000000244,0x0053c010,0000008806E9B160,0,0000008806E9C170,4096,[0]).

Any ideas? :-)
