Shadow Copy Components Selected for backup,but no files, or directories in log
Updated: 05 Jun 2010 | 4 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
I have 3 W2003 Servers I'm backing up using BE12.5. The backups complete without errors, but when I look in the backup history, it shows the following for system state on all 3 servers--0 files and 0 directories...if I go to restore I see Service State is there, and in it is Event Logs and WMI, but none show any size...is there an option I am not selecting properly? I want to make sure Service State is getting backed up properly, but there is no easy way to test it that I know if.

Hello, See it in the restore
Hello,
See it in the restore view if you are able to expand and see anything under "Shadow Copy Componants"
Its a best practice to have a "Support Contract" with Symantec...
I wouldn't worry about it.
I wouldn't worry about it. Our job histories also list Shadow Copy Components as being zero directories and files (though with a large Byte Count total) and I've certainly managed to restore from them before without a problem.
Under 'Shadow Copy
Under 'Shadow Copy Components' I see Service State, and expanding that further shows Event Logs, WMI and TS Licensing (where applicable). So I guess its fine? A service tech from Dell was looking at another unrelated issue and noticed this and told me there might be a problem w/our Backup software, prior to that I always thought it was fine...just want to make sure.

Hello,
If you are able to see Service state and user state under restore for Shadow copy components, I think its fine.
