Run another backup today after manually starting VSS service and still getting 
the same errors. Guess it's time to search Microsoft Knowledge Base...

On Windows computer? I have no idea where to look for events log. Frankly, I 
haven't booted Windows a single time for the last 3 years (neither I was 
exactly a Windows user before that). I guess this discussion is veering off 
topic so I would rather try to investigate the issue myself before proceeding 
with more questions. Just was surprised to receive this error, VSS always 
worked smooth for me...
