I spoke too soon. It worked that one time, but the next time a scheduled 
backup ran, it again didn't work. At least I know why now: I am running 
seven VMWare virtual machines but only have one host. The host also acts 
as director and SD. The server I was backing up is in one of the VMs and 
was simply overloaded, and the VSS writer timed out. The NTBackup log 
shows error 0x80042319. During my nightly backups, everything slows down 
to a crawl.
