I have a SharePoint 2010 server running on a 2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster that I'm trying to backup with DPM 2010
I'm getting the following error in DPM when I'm running either a consistency check, or a recovery point.
"DPM encountered a retryable VSS error. (ID 30112 Details: VssError: The writer experience a transient error. If the backup process is retried, the error may not occur. (0x800423F3))".
Running a VSSAdmin list writers command on the SharePoint server returns the following.
"Writer name: 'SPSearch4 VSS Writer'
Writer Id: {35500004-0201-0000-0000-000000000000}
Writer Instance Id: {d6ff97de-6846-4b92-a30d-d4b33ab9af5f}
State: [8] Failed
Last error: Inconsistent shadow copy"
I was originally getting this error and "spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade" in a SP mgmt. shell the result was "true" so I ran the "PSConfig.exe -cmd update -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures".
The backups then worked fine for approximately a week, now I'm back to where I was with the original error. The upgrade command now returns "False". I've tried restarting the server, restarting the SPSearch4 service etc etc, but still the same result
Any help would be appreciated.......
