VSS not working properly
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 12:49 am
I am trying to backup my Skype settings, and am getting the following errors that it cannot be accessed because it is in use by another process.
I received an error that it timed out waiting for a vss pipe.
[3/5/2014 7:30:17 PM] Preparing shadow copy
[3/5/2014 7:30:37 PM] Could not create Volume Shadow Copy. Locked files will not be copied. Timeout while waiting for the vss pipe
I have checked that the VSS service is started, can you offer any explanations why this is happening?
I have also restarted the VSS service and tried running the backup with the same results.
This time told that it did create the shadow copy, but still failed to copy files in use.

I have a copy of the full log if that will help.
