Cause

This issue occurs because FSRM periodically tries to access a volume that is marked as "read-only" by Windows Server Backup. 

During the recovery process, Windows Server Backup mounts the Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file that contains the backup as a read-only volume. Additionally, FSRM checks for new volumes on the system every 10 seconds. When FSRM finds the read-only volume and then tries to open and write to it, the operation is not successful. Therefore, event ID 8249 is logged every 10 seconds.
