I have resolved this error by...

1. Exclude the systemstate from the backup, and use ntbackup to dump out
that to an export.
2. After upgrading our systems to WIN2K3 SP1 the error has gone away.

 Anyone seen this error?

08/03/2007 10:04:20 ANS5250E An unexpected error was encountered.
   TSM function name : VssRequestor::QueryStatus
   TSM function      : pAsync->QueryStatus() for caller
'CreateSnapshotSet()' returned E_OUTOFMEMORY
   TSM return code   : -1
   TSM file          : vssreq.cpp (8449) 


I found it in the archives but with no solution.

Thanks

Client is windows, tsm backup client v5.4.1.
