Agent version - 2.0.9250.0

r/AZURE - MARS backup stopped working for on premise servers, might be latest version.

I've uninstalled our anti virus scanner, reinstalled the agent as well.

This all looks ok.

    Hello Andy,

    Hope you are doing well today!

    There could be multiple reasons for this failure and In order to check that Ensure the MARS agent is up to date. Also could you please help me with the Windows events from the time of the job failure. Also If you could check the status of VSS writers using command "vssadmin list writers" since it's a volume level backup.

    Regards,
