A job displays the warning: SQL VSS Writer is missing: databases will be backed up in crash-consistent state and transaction log processing will be skipped
Support Scope Please note that the warning message displayed by Veeam Backup & Replication is a courtesy notification intended to inform the user that the 'SqlServerWriter' is missing from a machine where the software previously detected it as active. While Veeam Support will do its best to help investigate why the 'SqlServerWriter' is missing, it may ultimately require assistance from Microsoft Support to resolve the issue.
