    We're having a problem with one of the volumes not backing up.  It apears to be linked to the VSS writer.

     

    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Failed resolving account spsearch with status 1376. Check connection to domain controller and VssAccessControl registry key.

    Operation:

    Gathering Writer Data

    Executing Asynchronous Operation

    Context:

    Execution Context: Requestor

    Current State: GatherWriterMetadata

    Error-specific details:

    Error: NetLocalGroupGetMemebers(spsearch), 0x80070560, The specified local group does not exist.

    It appears to be telling me that the groups dont exist when they do.  I've trawled through quote a few google results on this but so far have not found a way of resolving the issue.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I was receiving the same error on a clean install of SBS 2011 Standard with all service packs and updates from Microsoft Update.

    I found the following link which mentions accounts that are enabled to create VSS copies:  http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=8230&eventno=10589&source=VSS&phase=1

    Using the information from there as a starting point, I did the following:

    • open registry editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl
    • backup this key, just in case you need to restore it later
    • CHANGE the value to 0 for all accounts except the NetworkService account which I left at 1
    • close registry editor
    • open services.msc and restart Volume Shadow Service
    • retry Windows Server Backup

    This time the backup was able to successfully create the volume shadow copies and continue.  I am not sure yet what the consequences are for disabling these other accounts from creating VSS copies, but a successful backup is more important at the moment!

    Hi:

    Here is a link to the list of SBS 2011 errors that can be ignored on SBS 2011.  However, if you have further evidence that the backups are not completing, please let us know.

    The backups are definitely failing and this alert comes up everytime the backup fails.  The backups are only failing on the E: volume though.

    In the backup log, what is given as the reason for the failure?  The event log may be coincidental.

    And the contents of the backup log(s) that give the reason for the failure?  Or is it blank?

    Thanks all for your replies.  CA had us barking up the wrong tree with this.  It turns out it was a CA problem not a SBS2011 problem.

     

    Thanks for all of the troubleshooting help.

    This was our problem on a new DELL T410 with SBS 2011 STD fresh install with all updates.

    vssadmin list writers would show:

    spearch4

    State: Failed

    disabling SERVERNAME\spsearch by change 1 to 0 fixed the backup issue

    I got this warning every 4:th minute. I read that this error could be ignored but I didn't like all warnings filling up my log. Followed your link and deleted the spfarm and spsearch from the VssAccessControl (set them to zero did not help). No more warnings in my application log, thanks! Hope this doesn't crash something else..

    I also got this information every third minute:

    "The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout". Is that normal?

    "SERVERNAME\spsearch by change 1 to 0 fixed the backup issue"  is eventually a not recommended way of fixing the issue. This will disable the spsearch writer from VSS and will not be backed up further. http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/05/24/you-must-manually-run-psconfig-after-installing-sharepoint-2010-patches.aspx is bthe right approach to fix these issues.

    Hi Everyone

    The only way that i have to make my Backups in SBS 2011 is STOP this services:

    SharePoint Foundation Search V4

    SharePoint VSS Writer

    Stop this services make the Bakup inmediately and START the Services Again.

    (Please remember that the services can start automaticaly again, so note that when the services are stopped you need to make the backup Right Now)

    I do not have time to search for answers that never posted because this is the only Windows i see that has many CRITICAL errors and all are "Benign or Safe" and MSFT does not work to solve those "small" Mistakes

    Hope that help!! and make a safe backups
