Base backups complete normally, but daily incrementals report "Initializing Reconciling volume". This only takes a few minutes on smaller drives, but on my drives with half a TB of data, both are still Reconciling right now @1% after ten hours (on jobs whose base backups take 4 hours).
Both computers are XP Pro sp3. One has Ghost 14, the other Ghost 15; both were reinstalled a couple weeks ago and are fully updated. The "Norton Ghost" service is set to Automatic startup on both. But the SymSnapService, while Started, is I see set to Manual startup on both. (I now, as always, have disabled "C:\Program Files\Norton Ghost\Agent\VProTray.exe" because I don't like the nagging.)
On both computers, the Event Viewer reports "Norton Ghost service started successfully" and "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( SymSnapService ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started.".
On the Ghost 15 computer, the Event Viewer also contains the following Errors:
Symantec SynSnap "Error E7B70196: PreCommitSnapshots failed for SnapShot Set Id 97ccc0e0-3329-4996-87f6-76d13e289722 Error: Error E7B70001: Win32/Win64 API DeviceIoControl(IOCTL_VSNAP_SET_PRE_COMMIT) failed. Error EBAB03F1: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."
VSS: "Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error calling a routine on the Shadow Copy Provider {262b716e-bb23-41b5-aaef-e2c15e767167}. Routine details PreCommitSnapshots({97ccc0e0-3329-4996-87f6-76d13e289722}) [hr = 0x8000ffff]."
On both computers I also installed Spyware Doctor a few weeks ago. One the Ghost 15 computer backups failed with "EBAB03F1: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service" until I did an IRPStackSize reg hack (to 18) as reported in this thread and this thread.
On the Ghost 14 computer I have not yet tried adding a registry value for IRPStackSize (so I believe it's now at default of 15).
Any advice, please?
