Hello Team.
I Had an issue where backup Exec 10d SBS job failed although it looks to have backed up all data.
Backup Exec = 10d SBS
OS is windows 2003.
The following error message is displayed.
Completed status: Failed
Final error: 0xe0008527 – VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows (VSFW) unexpectedly failed. Check that the VSFW service is running, and check the status of existing disk groups and volumes.
Final error category: System Errors
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-34087
Checking the system you find that VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows (VSFW) is not installed and that you cannot change advance open file settings, or advance open file system is set to disabled.
When you run: “VSSadmin list providers” you return the following results.

When I found most if the VSS writers are in failed state...then i rebooted the server and conform all VSS writers were in stable state..then I fired the backup job but again it fails due to an same error....and again I found few VSS writers are in failed state....Why this is happening????
Thanks & Regards,
