We are using VADP to protect a Windows 2008 server (active directory and file). It appears that after enabling this backup with CBT, the D drive on this server is set to read only and I can't figure out why. The symptoms appear to be exactly what are described in this post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/313272
However, the fixes described there (set disk.EnableUUID to false) didn't work for me. The drive is still read only after a reboot. I verified that diskpart says it is not readonly.
Just to confirm, the errors I saw after the backup started were this:
Source: VDS Dynamic Provider
Event ID: 10
The provider failed while storing notifications from the driver. The Virtual Disk Service should be restarted. hr=80042505
Source: volmgr
Event ID: 57
The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.
Then we get these of course:
Source: Ntfs
Event ID: 141
Description:
{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file D:\pics\Thumbs.db; the data has been lost. This error may be caused if the device has been removed or the media is write-protected.
I am stuck. Any ideas?
