BA729: A required VSS Component was implicitly added

Error code Product Applies to
BA729 BackupAssist BackupAssist v6.1.2 and later.

Description

This is an information message to tell you that BackupAssist added extra VSS components to your backup.

Possible reasons for adding components are:

  • A compulsory component of a participating VSS writer was not selected - BackupAssist automatically included the compulsory component to ensure that the writer's backup was complete and consistent.
  • A non-compulsory component of a participating VSS writer was added by BackupAssist - This applies only to imaging jobs on Windows Server 2008 R2 and later where selection of individual files and folders, rather than only whole volumes, is possible. It also only applies when the VSS mode is set to Full rather than Copy. BackupAssist determined that a non-selected component needed to be backed up to ensure that its log files were backed up before being truncated.

Resolution

This is an information message only. No action is required.
