We are seeing intermittent failures on daily full backups of one of our MSSQL 2008 machines running Acronis 11.5.

We are not running backups of the data drive, we use the MSSQL backup for that task.

It seems that 2-3 days per week the Acronis backup fails with errors similar to the following:

1 Information 3/27/2014 3:05:03 AM Command 'Running backup plan 'Daily-Backup-Plan'' is running.

The root cause is this one
- Message: VSS writer 'System Writer' with class ID 'E8132975-6F93-4464-A53E-1050253AE220' has failed to process the snapshot.
all above (up to 8 Error 3/27/2014 3:07:01 AM Command 'Backing up' has failed.
Additional info: ) is the consequence.
The code number in this error is 0x800423f2 . Googling reveals that it's 'Timeout'.
You can search for "system writer" and 0x800423f2 and see if any of suggestions ( like http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b16012a6-1245-45df-b88… ) resolve this problem.

Thanks for pointing out the root cause, Fedor! I will try out a few things & report back.

Thanks!

David - I have tried all the VSS settings with the same results. One question though - do I need to restart the service for these changes to take effect?

I also tried extending the VSS idle timeout period from the default of 180 seconds to 360, which seemed to reduce the daily failures from 2-4 a week to 1-2 per week:

Adding DWORD key "IdleTimeout" here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Settings

and setting to 360, although this page recommends maximum of 180:

Thanks!

Hello Jim
I do not think you need to restart it. It should update from the AMS.

BTW: thanks for your registry tweek sharing :-), its cool :-)

Thanks David!

No problem. FYI in the last 14 days the backup has only failed once, whereas before it was failing 2-3 times per week. Not sure if the registry tweak is totally responsible for the improvement, but if anyone else has a similar issue, it's worth a shot.
