Hi,
I've been noticed that my backup job excuted in the last week with several errors, I'm using Cobian Backup 10 on Windows 2008 server, some files return a error of acess denied on Cobian Backup, but when I check on the event viewer I found this error on VSS
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface. hr = 0x80070005. This is often caused by incorrect security settings in either the writer or requestor process.
Operation:
Gathering Writer Data
Context:
Writer Class Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
Writer Name: System Writer
Writer Instance ID: {231813ab-8a3b-44c6-a34e-670424516581}
I've tried several methods to solve this problems, describe on this links
But none of then solve my problem.
Anyone has another solution?
Thanks in advance

Hi Lucas,
Generally 0x80070005 is caused by permission settings. Thus please check the files you are trying to backup to see if there is any file or folder which you do not have permission to read/access. If so, add the account to run the backup to Security tab and give correct permission and try again.
Also as you are using a third party backup tool, try Windows Server Backup to see if same issue persists.

I try to check the file permissions again and the Windows Server Backup. Just to add more informations, when I run cobian backup I receive this erros:

From the error you provided, you do not have permission to access files under GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy3\VM1 folder. Try to take ownership and add your current account to Security tab and give Full Control permission to see the result.

It's possible that this errors are related to some problem with my Active Directory? (I had some problems with AD replication last week that cause some problems on my network) or any update from Windows Update? This routine are executed since March of 2010 and start to report errors on Wednesday.
