A quick uppdate of my previous inquiry. I made a typo and should have written that I have an DELL XPS 1530 laptop; running Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1
So -can anyone out there help me please? Paul S 10.13.08
I did a Google on that [Volume Shadow Copy Service error] and it turns up quite a few references. The first one may be worth you following up since it is a link to a MSKB article:
Allthough the background is different it may be worth checking out this and some of the other references.
Hang on here for someone to come in who has experience with GHOST.
Thanks for the suggestion - the workup in the KB article seems a bit obtuse to me - I am not sure what to do. For the moment, let us see if someone else with specific knowledge of this problem with GHOST can offer some other thoughts. If no response in a few days, I will try to figure out how to do the registry changes they discuss. I will keep your and the "thread" updated as other responses occur. Thanks again

No one has given me any further help on this problem, which is still happening nightly
Anyone out ther with some thoughts please?

I am another user with the same problem. I have been trying to use Ghost 14 on a Vista system, after Symantec appeared to have fixed the problem I and a number of others were having with large incremental backups (as large as the base). I thought I would re-install it in a system that I use for production work. Bad idea?
I had been using Acronis on this system for some time, and it works reliably, without any other problems. However it's HMI is not as usable or friendly as Ghost. So, I uninstalled Acronis and installed Ghost. Now Ghost appears to create the same problem you have described on this Vista Business machine.
I found some other threads in other discussion forums indicating the possibility that Acronis changes some Microsoft components, which are then removed when uninstalled - leading to this problem. However I have not examined this in any detail at this time, and have no idea if it could be part of the problem.
I also installed Ghost 14 on another vista business machine that had no other backup services on it prior to the Ghost installation, and have not seen any problems with that machine as yet.
The problem still exists for me. Only good news is that the Ghost incremental backups that are made, even with the Volum Shadow Copy error message displaying, seem to work okay. That is, I have used them to reinstall to a formatted drive. Weird. Still want to know what is going on in this regard, why we get these error messages. I also have Ghost 14 installed on a Windows XP machine with no problems. Anyone else out there with some insight?

Hi iopman,
Volume Shadow Copy is a Windows service which creates snapshots of the system files at a regular time intervals. These snapshots are used by most of the backup programs(including Norton Ghost) which create backup while Windows is running. Windows System Restore also uses these snapshots.For more info, you can refer to this WiKi link.
The error you are receiving is about the failure of Volume Shadow Copy. I dont think It will cause corruption of the backup images. The backup images which you have created are absolutely valid and you can use them in case of system failure.
To fix the Volume Shadow Copy error, you can try by registering the few dll's using the following commands:
regsrv32 ole32.dll
regsrv32 sqlvdi.dll
--Vinod
Vinod
Thanks for offering assistance. I don't know how to "register" those commands. I opened up a CMD window as an administrator, typed
regsrv32 ole32.dll
and got message saying regsrv32 is not a recognized command
Not sure how to do what you suggested, can you give me simple instructions?
Paul S
My apologies for the typos..
The commands are as follows:
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 sqlvdi.dll
I am not sure whether these files are used in Vista or not. I found this workaround in some forums for the same "Volume Shadow Copy service" error.
--Vinod
Vinod
Made some progress since my previous post
you made a typographical error
the command is regsvr32 not regsrv32 SMILE !
I was able to get the first .dll registered ole32.dll
But when I tried to register the second one is said there is no such dll
Did you mis-type it sqlvdi.dll is this wrong my vista machine says it cannot be found
