As I said, it's not necessarily a disk space issue. But it is harder to find if it isn't :(
It can also be a RAM issue, even if it would appear that there's plenty of free memory left. Some kernel and driver parts of windows allocate a fixed pool of memory at boot, and can't grow that later. The high part of the error code won't be of much help here either, 7 is 'facility_win32', which means that a win32 API call failed. Could hardly be more generic. I can only suggest that you google for the error code, see if anything comes up that resembles the symptoms you get, and then check the conditions more deeply and see if they apply in your case... Maybe a good place to start: there is a thread about this error, related to VSS but with EMC instead of Bacula, at backup central. http://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/emc-networker-19/64bit-win-client-fails-with-vss-errors-100397/ A couple of answers near the bottom of the page give solutions that "worked for them". -----Original Message----- From: global16 [mailto:bacula-fo...@backupcentral.com] Sent: 21 April 2015 19:19 To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Bacula-users] Shadow Copy issue - Fatal error: VssOject is NULL (From: global16 [mailto:bacula-forum < at > backupcentral.com] ) On the client, these entries are logged in C:\Program Files\Bacula\working\zhfs01.trace fs01: vss_generic.cpp:366-0 VSSClientGeneric::Initialize: CoInitialize returned 0x80070008 Is one of the server's disks full or nearing its capacity? 0x80070008 means "Not enough storage is available to process this command." This message does not always indicate a lack of disk space, but that is the first thing to check if you get it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the tips Luc Van der Veken, unfortunately I don't see disk space as being an issue. The 'E' volume on the client is only 60% used with over 500GB of free space. The destination storage pool also has plenty of space free. It is strange that if I reboot the client server, backups with VSS will succeed for a few days and then start failing again... +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by bumba...@hotmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=VA_SF _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
