VDI errors but backups are successful Our monitoring tools are showing SQLVDI errors, I think they're coming from the Event Viewer only. But the backups are showing successful in the SQL Server log files and we've successfully restored the backups.

The events look like this:

Event Log Module Status: 0 
The Last Record Number of the eventlog type that current event entry belongs to: 0

Can I safely stop monitoring SQLVDI errors?

Thank you for your time,

This is just me, but no, I wouldn't ignore an event that said:

SQL 2008 service transitioned from a Normal state to a Failed state at 2018-05-11 09:16:21 


That would be the kind of event I'd pay a little deeper attention to. If you Google for text involved in that error, you get KB articles like 2615182, suggesting that it's a Windows backup failing, not a SQL Server one.
