Symptoms

Assume that you apply Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1) on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer, and then you perform a system state backup. In this situation, iSCSI support files such as Iscsilog.dll are not included in the backup files that correspond to the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot. Additionally, when you perform a system state backup by using third-party software, the backup operation fails because an incomplete VSS snapshot is detected.

Cause

This issue occurs because the VSS system writer does not enumerate the Iscsilog.dll file correctly.

Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

More Information

Windows Resource Protection (WRP) has protected iSCSI support files such as Iscsilog.dll since the release of Windows 2008 R2 SP1. By definition, all protected files should be included in the VSS System Writer. However, the iSCSI files are not included in the metadata of the VSS System Writer. Because of this behavior, the VSS System Writer does not enumerate the file, and the file is not captured when you perform a system state backup. Therefore you cannot perform a complete system state backup. Additionally, if you try to restore the system by using the incomplete backup, the system may enter an unbootable or unstable state. When the issue that is described in this article occurs, neither VSS nor other components report an error condition during backup or restoration.For more information about software update terminology, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
