0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The last bit is the key here: Windows Backup failed to create the shadow copy on the storage location. ERROR - A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation error has occurred: (0x80042306) The shadow copy provider had an error. Check the System and Application event logs for more information The Windows Server Backup feature requires VSS support on the destination, as well as the sources to be able to work properly. And since we unfortunately are not able to support VSS at this time, the backup will fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
