Hello

How can I prevent this message from appearing every time I configure a new feature in my backups.

Failed to enumerate Microsoft SQL Server databases: Microsoft SQL Server VSS Writer not found - can not backup SQL databases.

I do not make use of VSS shadow copy.

I have installed the C ++ Redistributable package

My OS is Windows 201 2 R2

Thank you

Anderson

Do you know what version of the redistributable package you installed?

This topic indicates the needed version changed at some point:
