Backup Successfully with warnings

Thread needs solution

I used the Acronis Backup 11.5 BootCD to backup a Windows Server 2008 R2. The backup log showed the backup was validated and completed successfully but with two warnings. Did the backup ok or not? And how to avoid those warnings?

Below is the log details:

Hello W.Y. Poon,

Thank you for your posting! The warning indicates issues with VSS (Microsoft technology for creating snapshots called Volume Shadow Copy). There are two ways you can create snapshots in Acronis Backup products: without VSS and with the activated VSS. The latter allows you to backup running databases like SQL and Exchange, becuase VSS helps to process changes in the databases made during backup, thus making your image consistent. Here you can find more information on VSS technology. If you does not have VSS-compatible running pplications you want to backup, you can just ignore these warnings or disable VSS. Otherwise please refer to the following article to troubleshoot the issue.

Thank you,

Thank you for your information. However, I cannot find the option to disable vss for BootCD backup (or offline backup). Is it a bug in Acronis Backup? Because the backup system is offline, no vss should be activated. Why Acronis Backup tried to get VSS snapshot?

Hello W.Y. Poon,

I've checked our internal resources - seems to be an issue in the product. According to the development team, the issue has been resolved. I would recommend you to perform backup using the bootable media of the latest build, which is at the moment 44421. You can download an .iso file under your account.

Thank you,
