Vss Issues On Windows Server 2008 R2

[aashik]

HI All

I have issues with the VSS writer on Windows server 2008 R2. Basically whenever a backup runs it fails with error backup in process. When i check the vss writers, i notice that the Microsoft exchange writer is in "waiting for completion" state. This is a exchange 2010 server and is thepassive nodes. I am using networker with exchnage binaries to backup the passive copies. NOTE i have restart the server this does change the VSS writer(s) to a stable state, however when the backup runs again it fails with same error and the writer goes back in "waiting for completion" state.

Can anyone help

Hi,

Usually when the VSS fails, the problem are the DLLs.
