How to repair volume shadow copy service (vss)?
Hi experts.
We use an image program that utilises vistas vss on about a hundred machines. Lately, it stopped working on two machines and that's because of vss having a problem. The error message is documented here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734235%28WS.10%29.aspx
The recommended solution however is to contact the vendor of the backup software - that vendor however just tells me that vss is broken.
I am looking for a way to repair it but I can only find solutions for xp.
-------
I have attached a procmon logfile, filtered for vss.exe, rename it to logfile.pml and the vss service registry keys.
Update: while starting this thread, I have solved it for one of them: after re-enabling system restore, vss is working again. On the other computer however this has not helped

There are no abnomalies.
OK... how about posting the messages from the Error Log for us to see...

As I wrote: The message is documented at the linked site.
So, nothing else in the event log from a VSS writer?

The eventlog message is the one linked. Wait, there is a second one, this event: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734302(WS.10).aspx
