A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed.Unknown error (0x800423f0)

Having backup issues with Small Business Server 2011? I was and was getting the exact error message in the title! After some digging around it appears the error was down to Sharepoint 2010 SP1!! If left not only do you not have an up-to-date backup but you run the risk of filling up your hard drive with Exchange transaction logs!! Rather than go through the steps needed to cure this individually; here is a link to the official SBS blog that details the fix. It's actually not that long winded!!

Anyway, good luck!!

  1. Hey there! I am glad to stop by your site and know more aboutcopying services. Keep it up! This is a good read. I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about copying services in your area.
    The Volume Snapshot Service was first added to Microsoft Windows in Windows XP; this version of VSS is used by NTBackup, however it can only create non-persistent snapshots (a temporary snapshot, usually used for creating a file-based backup or more generally, accessing copies of files that have been locked by applications for editing). NTBackup uses a proprietary BKF file format to store the shadow copies permanently.
