We have recently been testing the backup of W2K3 machines with a new
version of Symnatec AV software. (Ver10)
The W2K3 machines blue screen with a stop error (0x0000008e), while the
backup is in the System State.
Obviously this was concerning to the W2K3 server team and the finger was
pointed at TSM.
However, NTBackup caused the same problem, so a search around the
Symantec website found the following article.

ec%20AntiVirus%20Corporate%20Edition&ver=10.0&src=ent&pcode=sav_ce&dtype

Carrying out the Symantec recommendation has solved the problem.
I just thought that it might be of use to anybody else who comes across
the same issue.
