Hi Everyone,
I have single server domain environment with Server 2012 Std. and MS SQL 2012.
The problem is, I can’t perform backup. I’m fighting almost three weeks.
On two occasions, I have been successful. I used suggestions from Microsoft TechNet, however after several day performing backup, without any reasons, the problem appears back.
Now I can’t find solution about this error:
The error message is Event ID 8193:
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CreateVssExamineWriterMetadata. hr = 0x80042302, A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error.
Check the Application event log for more information.

I did check VSS writers list:

I know, System Writer is missing.
There a lot suggestion on WEB, however nothing helps. Everything else, on the server, works fine.
The suggestion from Microsoft:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee264196(v=ws.10).aspx, is bizarre.
Of course, the Volume Shadow Copy is set to manual.
Also I did try several other sites, ex.:
http://systemadministratorrecipes.blogspot.com/2012/08/event-id-8193-vss-error-server-2008-r2.html, but nothing helps.
Does anyone have any idea?
Best regards,
