Forum/web search yielded nothing.

Started 3 days ago, which was also the last scheduled backup that worked.
That message appeared while attempting a manual backup.

500v2 8.1(69)
Essential, Preferred, and port licenses valid.
VMClient 8.1.9203 on same server (Windows 7 Ultimate) as service, dedicated.
Accessing through RDP w/admin rights

No anti-virus.
No firewall
No connectivity problems.
Plenty of disk space.

In Addition:
Happening w/all users.
Voicemail/AA answers, key-presses recognized, but can't leave messages, change greeting (nothing to approve), and change password results in endless loop needing to hangup.

In VMClient:
Modifying General preferences i.e. housekeeping doesn't stick.
Help:About doesn't show any valid licenses(should it?) never really noticed before.

Users created in IPO, show up in VMClient.


Almost sounds like a permissions problem.

Any ideas? before I try a restore?

Thanks!

 
Update:

All the directories, backup directories are the defaults on the server PC.
 
How many disk space is there?
If there cannot be a message left or a backup made then there is not enough disk space.
Or you have an issue causing it.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

 
Update:
As suspected an update(apparently)corrupted the permissions the VM svc runs under???, not allowing any write access to the disk. The IT vendor (who maintains the server)changed the account to the local system and seems to be working now, but I am not sure for how long. Anyone see a problem with this arrangement?
Also Requested that further updates and firewall be turned off.
Thanks
