HP Data Protector A.06.00 additional writers and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP support for Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service integration

Action
Do not select too many objects in a backup specification because they might reside
on more than four source volumes. This means that for example a Microsoft Exchange
Server storage group should not reside on more than four source volumes and only
one storage group should be specified for backup in this case. The same applies to
a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Problem
Volume shadow copies cannot be imported due to low space in registry and
consequently backup fails.
If one of the following errors is reported during backup:
• By Data Protector:
[Critical] It was not possible to import Volume Shadow Copies from
application host.
• By Windows operating system:
Figure 36 Error reported by registry
it means that the Windows registry is out of space.
If there are too many entries in the Windows system registry, the registry runs out of
space and consequently backup fails. Although Data Protector does not write anything
to registry directly, the registry contains entries about all volumes and disks ever
presented on the system recorded by the volume storage driver.
Action
The registry should be cleaned up. For information on how to clean the registry, see
the web page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/277222/en-us.
In case of problems with the installation of the Scrubber utility provided by Microsoft,
