SBS backup work for one week before it begun failing with the following
error. I did find varoud Shadow Copy error messages on the web, but nothing
with error 0x80042306. Does this involve calling MS for a hotfix? Anybody
seen this error?

Hi,

Thank your for posting here.

According to your description, I understand this issue is: when you
backuping up your partitions. There are VSS errors appear. If I have
misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

First I suggest you apply the hotfix Q891957:

891957 Update is available that fixes various Volume Shadow Copy Service
issues in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;891957

Then, please try again to see how it goes.

To further analyze the issue, refer to the following KB article to enable
the VSS debug tracing log:

887013 How to enable the Volume Shadow Copy service's debug tracing
features in Microsoft Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=887013

Run the backup with the tracing enabled. After reproducing the problem, run
the following command to find out which VSS writer is timing out:

vssadmin list writers

And then, send the VSS debug tracing log trace.txt, to me. Email address:
v-chacez(a)microsoft.com


Hope this helps. I look forward to hearing you.

Have a nice day!

Best Regards,

Chace Zhang (MSFT)

Thanks for the help, I rebooted the server, and the backup was successful.
I
did not apply your suggestions, but will keep it in my for the future.
Sorry, but I was not able to reboot the server earlier due to heavy cient
usage.
