pronto Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Community, we get on each Windows server (2008 R2 SP1 patch level up to date) the VSS error id 8194 a number of times during a backup task is running[1]. We know the Retrospect knowledge base articel [2] but the settings described in this articel are already adjusted. It seems to be a default setting because we didn't change anything in this dialog, neither during the server setup nor anytime later. Is there another trick or what else could produce this error during backups running? What taken us aback is the fact that we have this event on each server, since Server 2003 without any exeptions.

pronto Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hi Community, we fixed that problem simply by adding also the LOCAL SERVICE in the permission tab of the component services GUI, in line with the NETWORKSERVICE kb articel. Now there are no VSS errors anymore, what a boon. Thx & Bye Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scillonian Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Make sure there are no unintended security consequences from making this change. The general felling from the searching I have done on this in the past seems to be this error can be ignored when it is caused by a remote backup application and no other VSS errors are reported. The strange thing I have found with this error is that even with apparently identical configurations one system will show the error yet another won't.
