Calculating digests Error: Cannot find shadow copy of volume

Post by JardaCZ »

Dear community,

I installed Veeam Agent for Windows on Small Business Server 2011 (SBS2011). It's a package of Server 2008 R2, Exchange, SharePoint.

When I run backup of system volume, it fails with error:
Calculating digests Error: Cannot find shadow copy of volume System Reserved.

case #02075241

Veeam tech support told me:
[18.02.2017 13:36:11] <32> Warning Key container is corrupt, deleting...
[18.02.2017 13:36:11] <32> Error Keyset does not exist. Error code: -2146893802
[18.02.2017 13:36:11] <32> Error Failed to delete corrupted container
[18.02.2017 13:36:11] <32> Error An exception was thrown from thread [11532].

Could you please perform the following test?

diskshadow
>set verbose on
>set context volatile
>add volume {cbda5276-b84e-11e4-a536-xxxxxxxxxxxxx}
>add volume c:
>begin backup
>create
>end backup



I'm afraid because it's production environment and I don't want to try it.
Someone with same experience?

You can see screenshot of my disk management, shadow copies and Veeam LOG. With my comments...

I just googled around this errors.

resolution for ID: 8230 source: VSS
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Fo ... nessserver
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... 1-standard
http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?even ... SS&phase=1

It's strange, because Windows Server Backup runs fine.

I did this
•open registry editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl
•backup this key, just in case you need to restore it later
•CHANGE the value to 0 for all accounts except the NetworkService account which I left at 1
•close registry editor
•open services.msc and restart Volume Shadow Service
•retry Windows Server Backup (Veeam Backup)

The error ID: 8230 source: VSS disappeared, but Veeam Backup still doesn't work.

remaining errors:
ID: 2007, source: ESE
ID: 9782, source: MSExchangeIS

I also tried with no luck:

vssadmin list writers
all stable, no errors

increase timeout
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SPP
DWORD 32bit: CreateTimeout
VALUE: 1200000


!!! it looks like Exchange VSS provider cannot create snapshot because of heavy I/O load !!!

remaining errors:
ID: 2007, source: ESE
ID: 9782, source: MSExchangeIS

Hi community,

Veeam support told me:
We have found a bug which is a root cause of the issue the bug will be fixed in the final release.

So I think it's success, thanks to Veeam support.
We all expect final release in the end of March.

Hi Jarda,

Thanks for the heads up! Indeed, after checking with QA team we realized this is a known issue and it’s going to be fixed in 2.0 GA.

P.S. GA is planned for the end of Q1, so most likely end of March
