Acronis True Image Server (build 3.920) - System Hangs on "Locking Partition C"
I have a problem with Acronis True Image Server 9.1 - build 3.920 on a Windows Server 2003 Std Edition SP2. Randomly, the system freezes and stop responding when starting a scheduled backup job. In Acronis Log, i can see that the job is blocked at the "Locking Partition C" phase. The job usually starts at 0.45 am. When i arrive at the office in the morning, the system is pingable, but completely unresponsive. I have to hard-reset the machine to bring back the services foo my network.
The problem as i said before happens randomly. Other thing to mention, i have VSS enabled.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Best regards.

Hello Anton, and thank you for your prompt reply.
That is exactly what i do! I use VSS because i have 3 Sqls Server Databases running on this machine. However, as a best practice, i stop transactions to the databases stopping them before snapshot is taken and restarting them immediately after.
Anyway, i will try to disable VSS to verify if that's causing the problem and, eventually, i'll let you know.
Thank you again.
Best Regards.
Roberto
