Thanks for the information. It did work one time but then the VSS-failed again. I guess i have to wait for Microsoft to release a update that fix the problem.

Hi, I have some problems with my servers when i try to backup them. I am using TSM client 6.2.3.0. The backup fail due to the system writer &quot;System Writer&quot; is not found. I have restarted the server and it does not help. <br />
<br />
And i can't find anything on Google/Expert Exchange about just this problem. I have found some articles that are kinda close but that then it's WMI-writers and that writer i know how to get back but i can't get back my system-writer. <br />
<br />
Does anyone have a clue on what i can try? My systems are physical and virtual machines all running Windows 2008 R2 standard or enterprise. I have not applied SP1 on those servers yet.

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.
