Hi
I'd really appreciate some input from the group.
I'm using NTbackup under WinXT Pro to backup up files to an 'archive' disks.
All disks are NTFS.
Every backup begins with this error:
VSSAdmin yields the following:
Under Services, both the MS Shadow Copy Provider and the Volume Shadow Copy
are in status 'started' with a startup Type of 'manual'.
Any thoughts or pointers on where to go next to get the volume shadow copy
to work would be appreciated.
Cheers
