But same thing. The two bat files are indeed appearing in the Temp folder, and disappearing after closing the program.

No big deal I guess. I'll use the fallback method from now on.

Oops! Really sorry. The result is the same, but the Log_Vss.txt is different. I forgot to disable Simple Software-Restriction Policy before running the last backup.

Here is the one I'm having normally:

OK. I'll use the fallback method.

Thank you for your concern and especially for making these great apps!

The fallback method does work. However, the Volume Shadow Copy method is the one you are recommending...

Yes, the bat files (vss.bat and vss_start.bat) do appear in the Temp folder for 30 seconds before the error message appears. Then, when shutting down the backup program, the two .bat files simply disappear a few seconds later.

If ESET is responsible, what can I do about it?

Just tried adding C:\WINDOWS\Temp to ESET's Exclusions' list. Still a no go.

Unfortunately, there aren't any signs in the log files.

However, perhaps I could add an exclusion? Not sure what though. Any ideas?

I'm not home right now. Will let you know as soon as I get home.

Thank you very much!

My antivirus is ESET's NOD32. I did try disabling it.

I can start the VSS manually if I wish, but the program cannot start it to perform backups. It's always failing to start "C:\WINDOWS\temp\vss_start.bat". Or it says it can't be found.

Any ideas?

Thanks
