It seems that you are low on disk space on the server and if you aren't low try restarting your Backup Exec services.

hi,

It seems that you are low on disk space on the server and if you aren't low try restarting your Backup Exec services.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
See below message I am receiving on my daily backup using Symantec Backup Exec. &nbsp;Any ideas what this means and how I resolve?<br />
<br />
AOFO: Initialization failure on: &quot;\\D721085J\C:&quot;. Advanced Open File Option used: Symantec Volume Snapshot Provider (VSP).<br />
Snapshot provider error (0xE000851C): Cache files required for the VERITAS Volume Snapshot Provider (VSP) snapshot could not be created. Check that there is at least 50 MB of free disk space, and review the settings for the snapshot that are reported in the job log.<br />
Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the comments to come.

Symantec backup error

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Disaster Recovery is the planning for and creation of policies and procedures related to the resumption or continuation of an organization's functions following a catastrophic event. The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.
