I experienced a similar problem. I only found out that the problem is
somewhere during the backup of the systemobject. I never found out on
which individual file the client crashed. I then renamed the filespace
(\\<machine>\c$) and the next time the backup was ok (it backed up the
whole drive, of course). But during the next backup, the client crashed
again.
Then I moved the DOMAIN SYSTEMOBJECT to the beginning of the list of
domains, and since then it works. Previously, that statement it was the
last domain statement.
The working domain list looks like that:

DOMAIN "systemobject"
DOMAIN "C:"
DOMAIN "D:"
DOMAIN "E:"
DOMAIN "F:"
