A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation failed.__Unknown error (0x800423f4)


a volume shadow copy service operation failed.
unknown error (0x800423f4) while trying backup on small business server 2008 using ms own backup utility

hello,
  based upon error code vss_e_writererror_nonretryable(0x800423f4) failure because of particular vss writer not in
  state causing snapshot process fail , hence backup fails. 
  
  can verified using following command elevated command window.

   vssadmin list writers

  also following blog useful in finding vss writer causing snapshot fail. once writer identified forum corresponding
  application should able support better.

thanks,

bikash agrawala [msft]
