Hi Everyone!
This is my situation;
SBS 2011 Standard (VM) on Esxi
Windows Server Backup is configured to backup too 2 x external disks
This completes the data backup for the system drive and the data drive.
However when it gets to the VSS Backup it all falls over, this is the error in the Windows Server Backup, I have tried running this both from the scheduled WSB Application and from a scheduled bat script.
Below is the last few lines of the WSB Event logs via Command Prompt.
Creating a backup of volume Data(E:), copied (99%).The backup of volume Data(E:) successfully completed.
The backup operation stopped before completing.
Summary of the backup operation:
------------------
The backup operation stopped before completing.
Detailed error: ERROR - A Volume Shadow Copy Service operation error has
occurred: (0x80042302)
A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an unexpected error.
Check the Application event log for more information.
The Volume Shadow Copy Service backup complete operation failed. See the event logs for more details.

Application Event Logs
At the time of failure in the Application event log below is the VSS error recorded
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine IVssAsync::QueryStatus. hr = 0x800706ba, The RPC server is unavailable..
Operation:
BackupComplete Event
Executing Asynchronous Operation
Context:
Current State: BackupComplete
I have done some research but havent found anything relating to the specific failure (RPC Service is unavailable)
I have gone through and checked all of the key services (RPC, VSS) and all of these and the dependencies are set to automatic.
Please help :)
