Re: VSS Shadow Copy Problems




Have you got both
MS Software Shadow Copy Provider and
Volume Shadow Copy services set to at least manual under Services. If Not Volume shadow copy will fail.

| Win XP SP2
| All Disks Formatted NTFS
|
| The volume shadow functionality which previously worked on this system now
| fails with the error:
|
| Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:8004230f
| Reverting to non-shadow copy backup mode.
|
| Initially there was a problem with the COM+ System Application service which
| would not start, but after following the steps regarding fixing this in MS
| KB: 315296 it now starts without errors.
|
| However the Volume shadow copy error remains.
| MS KB article 283085 - describes a very closly related if not the same issue
| relating to the failure of the Shadow Copy but offers no guidelines or
| suggestions, I have been watching this article since January hoping for it to
| be updated but this has not happened.
|
| Looking around Google I found a list of .Dlls to re-register in such cases
| and the following were registered succesfully:
|
| regsvr32 ole32.dll
| regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
| Vssvc /Register
| Regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
| regsvr32 es.dll
| regsvr32 stdprov.dll
| regsvr32 msxml.dll
| regsvr32 msxml3.dll
|
| However attempts to run the following give errors ...
|
| regsvr32 /i swprv.dll returns the error "DLLInstall in swprv.dll
| failed. Return Code was: 0x8000ffff"
|
| regsvr32 VSSAPI.DLL returns the error VSSAPI.DLL was loaded, but the
| DllRegister server entry point was not found. VSSAPI.DLL does not appear to
| be a .DLL or .OCX file."
|
| I replaced VSSAPI.DLL with a clean copy in case it had corrupted, but this
| didn't change the error returned from regsvr32.
|
| I am *very keen* to get the shadow copy service oprerational again, help
| will be appreciated.
|
| Thanks.
