Volume Shadow Copy

(1/4) > >>

I'm running Vista. I tried running a full back up, but getting "Catastrophic Failure 0x8000FFFF, Shadow Copy couldn't be created.". Well almost all of the fixes I have found say to set Volume Shadow Copy to Automatic. Well, I can't find Volume Shadow Copy anywhere on my computer or any of the aliases I fund for it.  I tried Teaking.com's all in one and VSS repair program, but neither helped. I really need help.

Shane:
Try some of these :wink:

None of those helped. I'm really at a loss here.

Shane:
OPen a cmd.exe window and you can use vssadmin to view any shadow copies and the writers. Lets see what it gives us :-)

Sorry I'm a computer novice. I don't know how to copy the screen to here. But that is everything that is there.
