Quest Rapid Recovery and SentinelONE 4.1.6.118 VSS Error's
Bret
Newbie ✭
I was auto updated to S1 version 4.1.5.97 and started getting VSS error's on agent backups in Rapid Recovery. Found article about known issue's. Followed steps to upgrade to S1 Version 4.1.6.118. Calls with support to fix backend issues. Finally thought I had it squared away but now I am still receiving random VSS error's when backup is trying to be performed.
VSS Copy snapshot of 'C:\; D:\; EFI System Partition 1 on disk 0; Recovery Partition 0 on disk 0' on 'FS1' failed due to VSS error: FlushWritesTimeout
Is anyone successfully using Rapid Recovery and S1 version 4.1.6.118?
I have multiple systems with this setup and it starting to get frustrating.

We get similar issues with SQL backups, you're not alone. How did your issue get resolved?
@ThomTurner It hasn't.
Week and half later and still no updates from support.
Hello @Bret, I'm sorry to hear about this inconvenience. Let me PM you and get the case number that you are working on so I can escalate internally.

Could you please help me with output of "vssadmin list writers" from CMD.
Are you seeing issue with "Writer name: 'VSS Metadata Store Writer' or "Writer name: 'Shadow Copy Optimization Writer'".
Can you get me more details.
Yes this issue is with S1 4.1.6.118. It is happening on multiple systems in different client environments with the common factor Capture Client 3.1.4 S1 4.1.6.118. Moving to this version of S1 has fixed the issue of the backup failing every time it is trying to run. Now it fails a couple of times a day with the following errors:
Rapid Recovery Error:
The transfer failed: 'There was a problem with the VSS subsystem on '10.10.1.253'.'
DoSnapshotSet failed with error: 'The system was unable to flush I/O writes. This can be a transient problem. It is recommended to wait ten minutes and try again, up to three times.'
VSS Copy snapshot of '(Volume Labeled 'System Reserved'); C:\; D:\' on '10.10.1.253' failed due to VSS error: FlushWritesTimeout
Windows Event Viewer Error:
