Is shadow copy the only problem? I see this once every two weeks.
I noticed i have two backups starting at the same time.

Hi,

Please set the backup jobs to start one after another.
Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html
