V-79-32772-8983 - 0x80042317 (2147754775) - Other Errors.
Cause
Snapshots are being orphaned or retained too long on the source server.
Resolution
The following steps are to be reviewed on the source server.
1. Reboot the source server.
2. In case backup job and VSS writers still fail, follow these steps:
Add the backup account in the following registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\VssAccessControl Note: Right click on VSSAccessControl->Permissions.
Add backup account there and give it FULL control.
Also, make sure Administrators group is owner of this key.
3. Open a command prompt and type the command "Vssadmin list Shadows"
If a snapshot exists, it will be listed.
Before attempting to delete the snapshot make a note of the time at which it was taken.
This will help to determine if the orphaned snapshot was created during or outside a backup.
If the snapshot was created outside a backup, check for scripts or applications that could have created it (for example, some applications take snapshots by creating scheduled Windows tasks).
4. Use command "Vssadmin delete shadows /all" to delete the shadow copies.
5. Open Device Manager and go to View > Show Hidden Devices.
6. Expand Storage Volume Shadow Copies and uninstall all remaining shadow copies.
7. Reboot the server and re-try the backup job.
