hyperv vss writer unexpected error
- by Eric Martin
I am using Mozy Pro to backup our Hyperv servers. I am doing this without any issues on a 2nd server but this box hasn't backed up sucessfully yet.
I was told by the support tech at Mozy to type:
vssadmin list providers >c:\providers.txt
vssadmin list writers >c:\writers.txt

The tech said I needed to resolve this issue:
Writer name: 'Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer'
Writer Id: {66841cd4-6ded-4f4b-8f17-fd23f8ddc3de}
Writer Instance Id: {32f41185-2b20-41ff-a7aa-92c262f578cd}

Last error: Unexpected error
I checked the event viewer and this is the only thing I found related to hyperv:
I don't know where to start to resolve this or to find out where the issue is at. I know nothing of the vss writer for hyperv so any input would be greatly appreciated.
