I have been using Acronis to create a backup, but it has been unsuccessful. I keep getting errors related to Microsoft VSS timeouts and others such as
EventID 34: "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: The VSS event class is not registered. This will prevent any VSS writers from receiving events. This may be caused due to a setup failure or as a result of an application's installer or uninstaller."
Followed by EventID 8193: "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x80040154. "
I have run a fix from http://www.microtom.net/messaging/vssadmin-list-writers-does-not-return-any-writers because the output for VSSadmin list writers was empty. I ran the batch file yet I still get the same problem.
