Hi,

well, I love veeam! Everything is fine, till a few weeks ago: Veeam stopped backing up 1 drive from 1 vm. All other vm's still work. Had this problem with b&r 7, so I upgraded to 8. Applied all patches... A few weeks ago it worked...

The VM is a Windows Server 2012 R2:

So as you can see: I think VSS is ok, but still getting this error:
Error: VSSControl: -2147212500 Backup job failed. Discovery phase failed. Cannot add volumes to the snapshot set. Cannot add a volume to the snapshot set. Volume name: [\\?\Volume{2dbfc885-dff0-11e3-9404-0050568550e4}\]. Cannot add volume to the set of volumes that should be shadowed. VSS error: . Code:0x8004232c

Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi,

It seems like there is an issue with VSS provider, have you checked Windows Event log for more info? Aslo, please include your case ID (as it is advised by our forum rules), otherwise this topic will be removed by a moderator.

Thanks!

Hi!

Well: Didn't open a support case, so there is no case ID. Should I?

And: Yes, I checked the Windows Event Log. Nothing interesting so far. Is there a special folder to check?

Yes, please open a case with our team, as they might have seen it previously and can provide you with a solution.

0x8004232C translates to VSS_E_NESTED_VOLUME_LIMIT, which seems to suggest you're trying to shadow copy volumes within other volumes.

Hi!

What does that mean: I'm trying to shadow copy volumes within other volumes?

I'm trying to backup a Terminalserver. So the users got their own container with personal files. May be that the problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I had the same problem and the easy fix was to restart de vss services.
