I've been trying for days in vain to fix this problem on my XP PC.
VSS is not working properly. This wouldn't trouble me overmuch as I'm technically out of my comfort zone here. I don't really understand VSS, even after much reading. But my new backup program, SyncBackSE, apparently needs it in order to copy open or locked files. That's something which my regular program, SecondCopy, cannot do, so I want to fix it. And maybe there are other problems caused by this VSS failure.
I'm getting many Event Viewer entries of two types:
1. In the Application section:
'VSS Event ID 12289
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error DeviceIoControl(00000178,0x0053c020,00037CF0,0,00038CF8,4096,[0]). hr = 0x80070057.'
2. In the System section I get many like this:
' Volsnap Event ID 22
The diff area volume specified for shadow copies on volume C: could not be added.'
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer please.
BTW, probably not the best place to make this suggestion, but I do think it's a bit daft that the Search tool rejects words of 3 letters. So many acronyms are of that length - VSS for example!
