Hi,
I am having issues below after installing Pulseway on my VMs and backing up via Altaro. Checking the forum I found an old post that recommends “Disable hard disk monitoring to prevent VSS locks” is that still the recommended fix for the below error? I was able to disable the Backup (volume checkpoint) in the hyper-v manager to get backups to start/complete but would rather not have to do this each time.
Thanks for any help!!
