System Event ID : 7031 : The Volume Shadow Copy service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 0 milliseconds: Restart the service.

Application Event ID : 12347 : Volume Shadow Copy Service error: An internal inconsistency was detected in trying to contact shadow copy service writers. The Registry Writer failed to respond to a query from VSS. Check to see that the Event Service and Volume Shadow Copy Service are operating properly, and please check the Application event log for any other events.

Event ID : 521 : The backup operation that started at '‎2018‎-‎08‎-‎01T07:16:00.109000000Z' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2164261129'.

Re-registering VSSAdmin - Writers not stable

This process is not recommended to be performed on Small Business Server, the steps performed on Small Business Server are at own risk.

Right-click the following services one at a time. For each service, click Restart:

COM+ Event System COM+ System Application Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider Volume Shadow Copy

Open a Command prompt as Administrator CMD type vssadmin list writers

Re-register the VSS components VSSadmin

cd /d %windir%\system32

net stop vss

net stop swprv

regsvr32 /s ole32.dll

regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll

regsvr32 /s vss_ps.dll

vssvc /register

regsvr32 /s /i swprv.dll

regsvr32 /s /i eventcls.dll

regsvr32 /s es.dll

regsvr32 /s stdprov.dll

regsvr32 /s vssui.dll

regsvr32 /s msxml.dll

regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll

regsvr32 /s msxml4.dll

vssvc /register

net start swprv
