Norton ghost stuck on creating recovery point

I'm not sure about that. I think at this point I would nuke all history and backup jobs and start from scratch. Go to the location of your backup files. They will still be usable, but not show in history anymore. I followed your steps and I also gave "everyone" write acesss to the e: driver where I store my backups. Now it seems to work and I am able to perform incrementals on top of incrementals. I'll update if anything changes. I was declaring victory too soon. Back to top. Reg: Dec Kudos 0.

Any ideas? I have the same question 0. Reg: Feb Is there anyway to turn on verbose logging on vprosvc? Do do this in Windows Kudos 0. I have the same question 0. Dick Evans Guru Norton Fighter Reg: Apr Welcome, What is your operating system and what are the specs on your destination drive?

Hi, I'll type slowly so your system can keep up [ducking even lower] Is this the first backup on this drive? DStain Norton Fighter Reg: Aug The drive needs to be connected direct to the computer, no hubs.

I would think that you are running incremental backups which include "files and folders" The problem is that Ghost is struggling to "Reconcile" the backup.

Clear the history and start again by running a "One Time Backup" from the "Tasks" menu. The only outstanding and unresolved issue is BESR 8. If no writers appear to be in failure, and still have issues during the snapshot phase, please install MS update Since my last comment above I have been able to get some successful images on all volumes. I was still have issues with a few failures pointing to VSS and some unknown.

However, in my last few days, I have had NO successful images. I can only stop the BESR service to end the hung process. The thousand of backup files looks ugly and At this point we have no support since the product did not function successfully during that time and probably wont renew. I did see a post regarding a cold image, which I will have to try since we have nothing Our Backup Exec software was removed since that did not work either and the Tape drive was max'd. Anyone have any solutions or hints to research the image process when it hangs?

Since, if I ever get the software to function again I would like to use it Also, may need to stop MS Updates too. Thanks and good luck to all! My recent backup failures where very difficult to trace since there were no event messages or errors.

Symantec, look at this process and see if the order or timing is an issue. Thanks, BTX. IF there is a problem MS should show writers in failures, this assuming you have not rebooted. Also tried installing MS update , didn't make any difference. I've tried stopping Volume Shadow service and it stopped without any problem.

Also tried stopping SymSnapService Symantec Volume Snapshot Service , it gave an error that service could not be stopped but when I open it, it's status is stopped. All other computers take around half an hour to complete as they are scheduled to run a daibly backup.

Any other idea? GregC2 Level 4. I am running the 8.
