https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/msde-vss-problem/m-p/5079087#M49602 After installing HP SIM (C.05.01.01) with MSDE, I can't backup the server using shadow copy.<BR />I think the reason is that the installed MSDE is SQL server 2000 SP3 (8.00.761), and the server is running Windows 2003 R2 x64. I get a message in the event log which is described in MS KB 904418 (<A href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904418)," target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904418),</A> something about the MSSQL not being registered with VSS.<BR /><BR />Before I install a unsupported hotfix from Microsoft for an ancient version of SQL, I would like to know whether there is an update from HP for this problem.

It also seems that HP SIM still works fine.
