To resolve this problem, generate a list of providers that
are installed on the system. To do this, run the following command at a command
prompt:
vssadmin list providers
This command generates the following output:
Provider name: 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0'
Provider type: System
Provider Id: {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}
Version: 1.0.0.7
Note This is the default output only if the in-box Volume Shadow Copy
Service system provider is installed.
If the command returns
additional providers and if you experience any of the error events
that are described in the "Symptoms" section, contact the vendor to determine
whether an update is available for the provider in question.
