Windows Server Backup Error

For the last few days, Windows Server Backup running on Window Server 2008 R2 has been failing. In Windows Server Backup it has this error:

System Reserved The operation was stopped

C: The operation to back up the volume was stopped before the operation started running.

D: The operation to back up the volume was stopped before the operation started running.

System State The operation was stopped. Detailed error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

In event viewer, I get this (Everything from backup start to backup end):

Level Source Event ID

[Error] [FilterManager] [EventID 3] Filter Manager failed to attach to volume '\Device\HarddiskVolume7'. This volume will be unavailable for filtering until a reboot. The final status was 0xc03a001c.


After this, the backup fails.

Please do the following actions:
1. Restart the server and check the condition again. Does this action resolve the issue? If no, go to the next step...

2. Run chkdsk /f C:, restart the server and see the result. Does this action resolve the issue? If no, go to the next step...

3. Run vssadmin list writers command and report back the result (please do not modify the output when pasting them here).

4. Run vssadmin list providers and report back the result (please do not modify the output when pasting them here).

5. Run diskpart and then in the diskpart> prompt, run list volume and report back the result (please do not modify the output when pasting them here).

6. Run vssadmin list shadowstorage command and report back the result (please do not modify the output when pasting them here).

Running CHKDSK did not help. Here is the output of the commands:

As in your output log, I cannot find the Shadow Copy Optimization Writer in the writers list that this behavior is not normal. Go to Event Viewer and then Application section. Do you see any error events that it's source is VSS and it's Event ID is 8193 and possibly with the following content?

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine ConvertStringSidToSid(S-1-5-21-4218825662-1428425431-4128574071-3123.bak). hr = 0x80070539, The security ID structure is invalid.

To resolve this issue, do the following steps:

1. Open regedit and locate 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList'

2. Under the ProfileList subkey, delete any subkey that is named SID.bak.

Note --> Please pay attention to the error event's content carefully and delete the subkey that starts with the mentioned SID and ends with .BAK extension. For example, if you see S-1-5-21-4218825662-1428425431-4128574071-3123.bak in the error event, find it in the above registry path and then delete it.



3. Reboot the server and then run vssadmin list writers command. Do you see the Shadow Copy Optimization Writer now?

Yes, I now see the Shadow Copy Optimization Writer:

Writer name: 'Shadow Copy Optimization Writer'
Writer Id: {4dc3bdd4-ab48-4d07-adb0-3bee2926fd7f}
Writer Instance Id: {e2ee43e7-9fcf-4743-9117-652c1b11f65a}
State: [1] Stable
Last error: No error

However, I am still getting the same backup error. In event viewer, I no longer get the 8193 error, I get this:

[Level: ERROR] [Source: Backup] [EventID 517] The backup operation that started at '2012-05-27T14:33:40.32552300Z' has failed with the following error code '2155347997' (The operation ended before completion.). Please review the event details for a solution, and rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
