VSS Error 0x8004230f

Post by AlexLeadingEdge » 2 people like this post

Hi guys,

After many hours of trying lots of different options to fix this error (below), I narrowed it down to it failing only on the data drive by selecting only the OS partition and System Restore partitions and it then working, while adding the data drive resulted in it not working with the resulting error message below. It turned out that after the Veeam Agent restore of the server the Shadow Copies had switched themselves off on the data drive. I don't know how it changed itself from Enabled to Disabled, but it did! Problem solved!

20/08/2018 11:55:54 a.m. :: Error: Failed to create snapshot: Backup job failed. Cannot create a shadow copy of the volumes containing writer's data. VSS asynchronous operation is not completed. Operation: [Shadow copies commit]. Code: [0x8004230f].
