What is vss writers status?

to check vss writer status run following command

if all writers are in stable state then verify is system writer is listed or not.

Thank you for your response, I tried these solutions but the issue still continues.... I am not sure why .....


I am still doing some more research on this error message.

Thanks

run check disk on the volume which you are backing up .. and see if any file system corruption is there..

you mean to say all writers are in stable state ?

what is OS ? which backup software you are using?

Yes, all the listed writers are in stable state. I ran the chkdsk command on the C: drive and it did not find any problems.

I am running Windows server 2008

Is there a way to flush SFC files list ?

I double check the output of the vssadmin and I did not see a any writers by the name "system writers"

Thank you for your help.... I will try these possible solutions and report back the results.

Thank you both for your help..... the system writer was causing this issue.  Thanks

I had the same issue however in my case it was caused by Windows Firewall. I had to enable Remote Scheduled Tasks in the inbound rules on the server I was trying to backup.
