I am getting the following message on my Windows SBS 2011 Server when attempting to run the Backup Now feature form the console. The nightly backup also fails with the same message.
A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed. Unknown error (0x800423f3)
The only changes made to the server in the past month were a) installing the latest updates and b) moving the backup destination to a different hard disk using Add/Remove backup destinations. Other than that, I haven't touched the server, installed
any applications, etc.
Here are the error messages from the event viewer. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Thanks for any assistance.
