Hi,

A Veeam Backup failed with the error :

Error: VSSControl: -2147212300 Backup job failed. Cannot create a shadow copy of the volumes containing writer's data. A VSS critical writer has failed. Writer name: [Oracle VSS Writer - MYDB]

The Event viewer on the database server shows the following error :

VSS-00044: Database in NOARCHIVELOG mode must be in a consistent state for backup. 

Cause : The database was open read/write or mounted after a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE or SHUTDOWN ABORT. 

Action : Either mount the database in a consistent state or open it read-only to back up the database files. 

Additional info :

Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

Howdy, Stranger!
