Basic Configuration:
System Center Data Protection Manager version 2012 R2
OS - MS Server 2012 R2
Storage - DAS - Dell MD3220
Hyper-V - OS MS Server 2012 R2 - Clustered
Virtual Machine - MS Server 2008 R2
The backup of one VM has ran fine for over a month, then two days ago it just stopped working. The is approx. 350 GB in size with 100 GB free. The Storage location that DPM uses has over 5 TB free.
This is the error that I keep getting: is
The VSS application writer or the VSS provider is in a bad state. Either it was already in a bad state or it entered a bad state during the current operation. (ID 30111 Details: VssError:The specified object was not found.
(0x80042308))
When I run vssadmin list writers on the host all writers show last error as No error, including Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer and Cluster Shared Volume VSS Writer.
I am able to backup using DPM 3 other VM on the same Node.
I Live Migrated this VM to the other node and got the same error.
I have rebooted the host same error.
I have deleted and recreated the vm same error.
I have verified that the integration services are up to date because the message comes up as This computer is already running the current version of integration services (version 6.3.9600.16384).
If I use Hyper-V Manager I can create manually a checkpoint I can also delete the check point.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
