Developing a VSS writer app:
see this error during backup, initiated by windows backup tool,
is there defined error codes for 2155348129
from Microsoft?
The backup operation that started at '2010-07-20T02:54:19.354000000Z' has failed because the Volume Shadow Copy Service operation to create a shadow copy of the volumes being backed up failed with following error code '2155348129'
This does not happen when VSSwriter
service (my application) is stopped.
Any help is appreciated. Nothing useful found on TechNet.
Hackish workaround: Interestingly the back up works is when "windows partition is made active". Of course this leaves the system non-boot-able upon restart
Decimal 2155348129
is 0x807800A1
in hex.
Quickly searching the Internet for this value takes me to this blog:
This error code is of a special type called an HRESULT
.
And TechNet has a table that lists our specific HRESULT value:
2155348129
0x807800A1
A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed. Please check "VSS" and "SPP" application event logs for more information.
Note: VSS
is short for Volume Shadow Copy Service
. SPP is short for Shared Protection Point
. They log into the regular Windows application
event log. And they use VSS
and SPP
as their event-Source
-identifier.
