I ran Ghost and appeared to get a successful operation, however, I get this
message in the event log "Description: Info 6C8F0434: A manual base recovery
point of C:\ completed successfully. Info 60BB0158: The VSS Provider vetoed
the operation. See the application event log." I contacted Symantec and they
said VSS provider is a function of Windows Services. Can someone tell me
about this. Thsy claim it needs to be turned on, but I don't see it. Also,
it must be on since it vetoed the operation. Thank you
 
I appreciate the link, but unfortunately that discourse was way beyond me. I
just want to know if I really got a good ghost of my system or if this VSS is
preventinh that. Thank you

VSS is the Shadow Copy Service, which is what allows files "in use" to be
copied for backup/archival purposes.

I've come across the problem with Ghost 10 and ntbackup.exe:

If the service wasn't running when Ghost ran, then the XP files that were
"in use" during the backup were not backed up, and you do not have a
complete, faithful backup although it may suffice IFF you didn't have any
other applications running during the backup.

I'd try setting the VSS, Shadow Copy Services to Automatic if they're
currently set to Manual or worse, Off. Some Manual Services will not start
in some instances when needed, though I have no idea whether this is one of
them. Setting to Automatic should give you an idea though.

Let us know; I'm sure many others had/are having the same experience.
