first of all you need to provide the error code appears on backup exec console and it links to Symantec KB,, anyway the below may help

 

VSS Writer Errors:

1st link- the Microsoft article826936 talks about timeout errors, this is not what I'm seeing.

2nd link - This link does not seem to work - it just says The URL you've tried isn't returning content.

MS VSS Fixes and Updates:-

Windows Server2008 & SP2

975928 - parallel backups - I only1 backup running so this probably doesn't apply.

975688 - snapshot corrupted - the snapshot doesn't even get created.

983425 - many volumes - Only3 volumes on this server.

953531 - stop error0x0000007E - no stop errors.

However, by chance I happened to enable the Shadow Copy feature for the C drive. I believe this is disabled by default when Windows is installed. None of the other servers I support have this option enabled on the C drive.

The test backup I was running just doing System State now runs ok. I am trying a full backup to see if that completes as well.
