Hi,

I'm running Backup Exec 11d.

I have a nightly backup job that firstly is meant to 

a) backup all the information from the d:\ drive on another server (with a backup exec remote agent) to tape

b) backup the backup exec servers d:\ and c:\ drive to tape as well as the shadow copy components. 

i have created the one selection list for this job and configured the resource order to firstly backup the remote server, then to backup the local server

at the end of the job when it tries to backup the shadow copy components its the backup job fails with the following error:
"
Final error: 0xe000853f - A snapshot error has occurred. Try selecting the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service on the Advanced Open File Option properties, and then run the job again. Final error category: System Errors
"

However when I change the resource order around.....the job runs fine.

also..... i dont even use aofo?

please help..... and if u want me to clarify anything im happy to do so..
