I’ve discussed this in the past with no resolution. One suggestion was that it was a Windows issue…“You can confirm it’s a windows problem by making a “cold image” from the recovery disk. If you select that image you will not get the error because it was made “ouside” of windows and the volume shadow copy service is working on the recovery disk.” As it turns out…this is not correct. I get this same message when I boot with the recovery disk and pick a recovery point to restore to my computer. Although I get several Event Viewer errors at each scheduled backup, and even though I get the error message about Windows being under high load and optimizing the backup schedule to facilitate VSS quiescing, when I restore of an image, it seems restore just fine. Of course this is quite disconcerting to get this message. Surely there must be some setting or fix for this for I know I’m not the only one who is having this issue. There was another individual who left a message but his was never answered. I tried what he did and it did in fact stop the Event Viewer errors but not the “This backup was made when the machine was under high load…” Can someone please look at his post (see below) and answer why Ghost still works just fine without these registry entries as well as what fixes have been determined for fixing the restore message warning that some of us are still getting? I run Win7 ultimate64 bit Here is his post: As an experiment…I drilled down to HKey Local Machine\system\currentcontrolset\Services\VSS\Providers and removed the following key: {262b716e-bb23-41b5-aaef-e2c15e767167}. It had the the Symantec Software VSS Provider entry in it. I rebooted and then typed vssadmin list providers and only saw the Microsoft Shadow entry…Symantec was obviously not running now. Next I ran a Ghost image backup. It completed normally. I did a verify on the newly created image and Ghost said it was valid. Next I opened Event Viewer and found NO error messages related to Ghost! Lastly I rebooted into my Ghost recovery disk and clicked on the new image as if I was going to do a recovery, but still got the same Backup was captured under high load… warning. I have also tried disabling my AV products, but still get the same High Load message. Can anyone from Symantec answer the following? Why is it that I can remove Symantec Software VSS Provider from the registry and the Ghost errors go away in Event Viewer? Why is it that I can still successfully create an image backup without that registry entry? Why is it that it still gives the High Load warning when you try to use an image to restore your system? In case anyone asks, I actually restored that newly created image to an identical hard drive and it booted up into Windows just fine. So not having the Symantec registry entry seems to not have any effect on the validity of the image backup and stops the Event Viewer errors…but sadly doesn’t fix the warning message when restoring an image.
