SBS 2011 server backup failing.
asked on
I have a SBS 2011 server that recently the server backups stopped working. I believe the owner powered off the server during an image backup.
Most things pointed to running "PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures" which has already been ran... I have even reran it just in case.

I looked at the vss writers and noted that only 1 has a problem...

The error from windows event viewer
The backup operation that started at '2017-04-13T07:00:45.445000000Z ' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2155348129'. Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved.
