After installing the Windows June 14,2022 update (KB5014702/KB5014746) on a Windows file server hosting SMB 3.0 shares, the follow Veeam Backup & Replication operations may be impacted:

  • If those SMB 3.0 shares are added to Veeam Backup & Replication with the "Backup from Microsoft VSS snapshot" option enabled, the NAS Backup job(s) protecting those SMB 3.0 shares may fail with the following error:
    Failed to create a VSS snapshot Error: Failed to add volume [\\SMB3FS\SHARE1\] to the VSS snapshot set
    The given shadow copy provider does not support shadow copying the specified volume.
    --tr:Failed to add volumes to the snapshot set.
    --tr:Failed to perform pre-backup tasks.
    
  • If those SMB 3.0 shares are used to store VMs for a Hyper-V host running Server 2012R2, the Backup job(s) for the VMs stored on those SMB 3.0 shares may fail with the following error:
    Failed to create snapshot (Fileshare Provider) (mode: Crash consistent) Details: Failed to add volume [\\SMB3FS\VOLUME1\] to the VSS snapshot set
    The given shadow copy provider does not support shadow copying the specified volume.
    --tr:Failed to add volumes to the snapshot set.
    --tr:Failed to perform pre-backup tasks.
    

 

When either type of job fails the following error will be found in the Windows Event Logs of the File Server hosting the SMB3.0 shares:

Microsoft File Share Shadow Copy Agent Error: The client connecting to the FssAgent RPC server did not have Local Administrator or Backup Operator privilege on this machine.
VSS Event Error

Solution

Specifically:

  1. Ensure that the June 14, 2022 update is installed on the following servers:
  2. Check the share permissions within Veeam Backup & Replication to ensure that Veeam has been configured to use a domain account that is a member of the Local Administrator or Backup Operator group on the File Server hosting the SMB 3.0 Shares.

Hyper-V 2012R2 VM Backup Job Failure

Review the following article from Microsoft:

KB5015527: Shadow copy operations using VSS on remote SMB shares denied access after installing Windows update dated June 14, 2022

Specifically:

  1. Ensure that the June 14, 2022 update is installed on the following servers:
    • File Server hosting the SMB 3.0 shares.
    • Any Hyper-V Server 2012R2 host using those shares to store VMs.
    • The Veeam Backup Server.
  2. On every Hyper-V host that uses the SMB 3.0 shares as VM storage, update the Veeam Hyper-V Integration Service to change the Log On As from 'Local System account' to a domain account that meets the following requirements:
    • The domain account is a member of the Local Administrator group on the Hyper-V host.

      and
    • The domain account is a member of the Local Administrator or Backup Operator group on the File Server hosting the SMB 3.0 Shares.
