I've been using the built-in WinXP backup app to auto backup files every
evening. The volume shadow service allows for backup of open files, so you
don't have to shut everything down to get a full backup. It has been
working fine for quite a while. Today I was looking through the event logs
and noticed that starting on 11/13, I began to get VSS errors like this:
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Shadow Copy writer EventLogs called
routine RegQueryValueExW which failed with status 0x80070002 (converted to
0x800423f4).
Apparently, VSS has got corrupted or something.
Now this problem is happening everyday and my backups are not working
correctly because open files are being ignored. This message is in the
logfile:
Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:800423f4
Reverting to non-shadow copy backup mode.
I wasn't able to get a hit on this in the KB. Anyone know what might be
going on and how to fix it?
