Drive backup fails

Thread needs solution

I can't figure this out. I have two backup plans. One is for the d drive (data drive) and the other is for the c drive with the OS. The d drive back up seems to be working fine. The c drive plan used to work just fine but now it fails.

This is a Windows 7 x64 computer with Acronis B&R 11.5.

These are the only two entries I find in the event viewer when the c drive backup runs:

Access to C:\Users\ACRONI~1.000\AppData\Local\Temp\CA485962-8FBB-45D0-A4CE-69D5204B2EBA.vbs has been restricted by your Administrator by the default software restriction policy level.

Access to C:\Users\ACRONI~1.000\AppData\Local\Temp\E93AC8CC-DBF7-49B3-8926-19FA41294C73.vbs has been restricted by your Administrator by the default software restriction policy level.

There are no events in the event viewer when the d drive back up runs and completes.

I've never set a restriction policy and I did not find anything in the Group Editor under Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Software Restriction Policies.

Below are the errors from Acronis:

I used the cleanup tool and reinstalled Acronis but it did not help.

There is plenty of free space on the c drive and the destination drive. I followed the directions to change the maximum shadow copy storage size (http://kb.acronis.com/content/31418#) but that did not help.

I ran CHKDSK but the drive is fine.

I re-registered the VSS writers but that did not help.

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

If you do not run any database on this Windows 7 machine, you can switch off the usage of VSS. Otherwise create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.
