Description   :
Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy Provider COM class with CLSID {65ee1dba-8ff4-4a58-ac1c-3470ee2f376a} [0x80080005] Operation:

   Snapshot Context: -1
   Provider ID: {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}

 

Cause

During snapshot processing in a backup job, the Remote Agent crashes on the Sharepoint Server.

Remote Agent crashes with an unknown faulting module.

This issue can also be caused due to a conflict with a non Microsoft VSS provider other than Backup Exec's VSS provider. For Example: Acronis.

 

Solution

Make sure the Remote agent is updated.

This issue can occur if the ServiceDll registry value for Swprv is missing or incorrect. Follow the Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2009513


Disable any non-Microsoft VSS providers that are in use other than the Backup Exec VSS provider.
