VSS Error

[MoreVis]

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!!

 

Altaro Error

Please check the Windows Event Log for more details, especially the "Hyper-V VMMS" event log on the Hyper-V host.

Additional information is available:

Hi,

Yes, that setting is still recommended for resolving VSS problems.
