vssadmin list writers shows errors

Discussion in 'Windows Home Server' started by Paul Hutchings, Apr 16, 2009.

  1. Any ideas where to start with the output below please?

    This is a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 box, backup software is Commvault Galaxy,
    backups seem to be working perfectly however I'm noticing VSS errors in
    the Event Logs at the exact time that the backups kick off.

    There's so much "grey" info on VSS I'm not sure where to start/what to
    trust.
