RE: System State backup fails

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I figured it out!

It seemed to me to be a rights or permissions issue on the local machines.
I figured if I made the domain Cluster Service Account a member of the local
Administrators Group on each node in the cluster it might make a difference.
When I checked, this was already the case.

I then made the domain Custer Service Account a member of each nodes local
Backup Operators group and it worked just fine!

I also tried this with equal success. You can (or may need to) create a new
DWORD Value of:
%domain.com%\%Cluster Account% with a Value data of 1

under

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl


One or the other of these configurations should give the Voulme Shadow Copy
Service the needed rights.

Thanks for all the help!
