I am running the following script nightly to back up 2 virtual
servers. I am running windows 2003 sp2 64 bit and virtual server 2005
r2. Over the weekend I received an eventid 129 every 30 seconds after
the script started. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Thanks,


Set objShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
'Load current date (formatted as mm-dd-yyyy)
'into variable strToday
strTime = weekdayname(weekday(now))
' Backup target folder or UNC path
strBackupDir = "g:\Backup\VS\" & strTime & "\"
'Drive containing Virtual Machines
strVMdrive = "f:"
'VM folder path
strVMfolder = "vm"
'available drive letter used to mount shadow copy
strTempDrive = "X:"
'Prepare shadow copy commands
sExCmd = "CreateVSS.cmd"
Set oFileSys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if oFileSys.FileExists(sExCmd) then oFileSys.DeleteFile(sExCmd)
set oExCmd = oFileSys.CreateTextFile(sExCmd, CopyOverwrite)
'create backup folder
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

If Not objFSO.FolderExists(strBackupDir) Then

Set objFolder = objFSO.CreateFolder(strBackupDir)

end if

' Create Shadow copy of VM drive
oExCmd.WriteLine "vshadow.exe -script=setvar1.cmd -p " &_
strVMdrive
oExCmd.WriteLine "call setvar1.cmd"
oExCmd.WriteLine "vshadow.exe -el=%SHADOW_ID_1%," &_
strTempDrive
oExCmd.Close
Result = objShell.run(sExCmd,vbMinimized, TRUE)
'Copy the virtual machine files from the shadow copy
strSource = strTempDrive & "\" & strVMfolder
objFSO.CopyFolder strSource , strBackupDir, TRUE
' Delete created shadow copy instance
if oFileSys.FileExists(sExCmd) then oFileSys.DeleteFile(sExCmd)
set oExCmd = oFileSys.CreateTextFile(sExCmd, CopyOverwrite)
oExCmd.WriteLine "Echo y | vshadow.exe -da"
oExCmd.Close
Result = objShell.run(sExCmd,vbMinimized, TRUE)
'Backup complete!
'wscript.echo("Backup complete!")
