Any input is appreciated on the error below:
save: VSS OTHER: ERROR: Failed to init_backup, error=0x80042301: VSS Backup or Restore is not in the correct state for the operation, or the writer is not in the correct state.
* client:VSS OTHER:\ save: VSS OTHER: ERROR: Failed to get writers list for VSS OTHER:
* client:VSS OTHER:\ save: RPC error: RPC cannot encode arguments


Thank you very much,
 
What do you want to backup?
Does this apply to all save sets?
 
All
 
Hm, just a file backup. Actually the error is listed in the error message guide - it suggests that you contact support.

I assume that something is wrong with Windows because MS installs the writers. NetWorker takes the role of the requestors.
