| Guest | Bakup failed: failure in a volume shadow copy service operation Attempting to make a complete system backup using Backup and Restore Center in Windows Visa Ultimate (which I have done successfully before on a terabye external hard drive) just failed, on the same drive, immediately. Here's the error: The backup failed. Failure in a Volume Shadow Copy Service operation. (0x807800A1). Additional information: The writer experienced a non-transient error. If the backup process is retired, the error is likely to reoccur. (0x800423F4) It was correct; it failed on retry. Help! -- David Kirk |

I think we're victims of the different etiquettes used for posting on the newsgroups and the Forums, I'm an ex newsgroup poster, from way back, now using the Vista Forums exclusively for posting, and so I will, when I remember , quote when replying to a post from a newsgroup. As the norm in Forum Posts is to not quote because the forum does this automatically, people replying from the forums will not quote. Unless the link between the forum and the Microsoft communities can be made to automatically format replies correctly we will have to put up with the differences. Hope this explains a little and I can assure you that SIW2 can talk and chew gum and probably juggle at the same time, it's just He/She Is used to and complying to a different etiquette to the usegroup one. | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: Bakup failed: failure in a volume shadow copy service operatio Well I guess I missed the boat on that one. Sorry to spark a culture war. Now ... back to the beginning ... for me ... does anyone have any ideas how to solve my problem (the one regarding ths shadow copy issue, not my lack of forum/newsgroup expertise)? Should I be asking the question in another newsgroup? -- David Kirk "Paul Montgomery" wrote:

if you will bear with me I will see if I can locate any more specific information on your error, whatever the outcome I will post back as soon as I can, unfortunately your problem is not a common one so may take a few hours, thanks for your patience | ||||||||||||
