Hi,

Thanks fro posting here.

Based on my experience. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 uses the Volume
Shadow Copy service to back up open files. The Volume Shadow Copy service
uses a writer component to back up files and settings that are specific to
a program, such as Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or Microsoft Exchange Server
2003. The writer component tells the Volume Shadow Copy service which files
to back up and then pauses corresponding services while the backup is in
progress.

For example, the writer for Exchange Server 2003 tells the Volume Shadow
Copy service to back up the information store databases, log files, and
system files. The Exchange writer also tells the Exchange services to delay
any new transactions, to finish current transactions, and to copy data in
memory to a hard disk to complete the backup process.

In Windows Server 2003, the Backup utility starts the Volume Shadow Copy
service during system state backups. The Volume Shadow Copy service starts
the writers that are registered in Windows. For example, if the Exchange
writer is registered, the Volume Shadow Copy service starts the Exchange
writer.

The Exchange writer may cause conflicts with the information store backup
feature of the Backup utility. The information store backup feature uses
online streaming to back up the Exchange databases. If the Exchange writer
is registered, the Backup utility may log errors if you try to back up the
system state and the Exchange information store at the same time. (For
example, the Backup utility may log Event ID 8019.)

Because Windows Small Business Server serves as both a Windows Server
2003-based domain controller and an Exchange 2003 server, by default the
Windows Small Business Server Setup program turns off the Exchange writer
to prevent problems while the Backup utility backs up the system state and
the Exchange information store.
I think you needn't worry about this Event information.

Actually, you can manual stop the Volume Shadow Copy Service, please
perform the following steps below:
Method 1
1. Open my computer, right click C drive
2. select the properties, and go to Shadow Copy tab
3. Disable all the drives in this list

Method 2
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
2. Locate and then double-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\Parameters
System
3. Double-click the Disable Exchange Writer value.
4. In the Value data text box, ensure the value is 1, and then click OK .
5.6 Quit Registry Editor.
Restart the Information store service. (if you want to disable the
exchange, please stop the service after above action)


Hope this helps.
