Troubleshooting

NetVault Backup 10.x service, netvault-pgsql, does not start on Windows Backup job fails while using VSS snapshot

Backup job fails while using VSS snapshot

If a backup job is stopped or fails while a VSS snapshot is being used, the plug-in might not clean up the VSS snapshot. If this issue occurs, you can use a tool such as Microsoft CLI diskshadow.exe to remove the snapshot.

1

After DiskShadow is run from a command line with elevated permissions, run the following command at the DISKSHADOW> prompt to find and remove the orphaned shadow copy.

list shadows all

The preceding command lists the current shadow copies.

2

Look through the list of shadow copies noting the Exposed Locally as field.

3

Find the field with the exposed directory name that matches the VM name used during the stopped or failed job.

4

Using the Shadow copy ID field from that entry, run the following command:

delete shadows ID <ShadowCopyIDofAbortedOrFailedJob>

5

Navigate to <installationDirectory>\tmp\Hyper-V, and delete the directory with the VM name used during the stopped or failed job.

6

Exit DiskShadow and return to a standard command prompt.

7

To verify that all VSS Writers, especially Hyper-V VSS Writer, are in a Stable State, run the following command:

vssadmin list writers

The preceding command lists the VSS Writers and their State.

8

If a VSS Writer is listed in a State other than Stable, use Hyper-V Manager to select the host node, and stop and start the Virtual Machine Manager service.
