Q. I'm receiving an error that I'm missing the SQL Server Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) writer. What can I do?

A. The SQL Server VSS writer is included in the ToolsSetup folder as SqlWriter.msi, so if the SQL Server VSS Writer isn't functioning or missing, do the following:
In Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs), uninstall the SQL Server VSS Writer component.
Run the SqlWriter.msi file.
Reboot the server.
The SQL Server VSS writer should now be present.
