In the exact same situation, have you found any solution?We are still dealing with this too. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. S1 has been a real pain with backing up DCs. I'm dealing with 1 DC now that throws this no matter what I do:
Failed to prepare guest for hot backup. Details: VSSControl: -805306334 Backup job failed.
Cannot create a shadow copy of the volumes containing writer's data.
Cannot prepare the [NTDS] data to a subsequent restore operation.
Cannot process NTDS data.
Updating BCD failed.
Cannot execute [SetIntegerElement] method of [\\SERVERNAME\root\wmi:BcdObject.Id="{cd0922c3-4ef8-11ee-9786-8af7d491816a}",StoreFilePath=""].
COM error: Code: 0xd0000022
Will be opening an S1 ticket I guess to see what they say.
So far, the only thing i could manage to do after trying everything else is turning that failed status into a warning, so it actually performs the backup, yet it's not backing up the NTDS, so it's a half-useful (pretty useless) solution.
