We have done Windows backups for around 10 years and know the downside  
of not using VSS. Therfore we have carefully choosen which filesystems  
can be included without VSS mostly because VSS does only work with one  
job in parallel per Windows machine. So our problem is that even the  
workaround with not using VSS does not work for parallel jobs with  
data encryption.

Fixing in configuration means don't do parallel backup jobs on windows  
neither with VSS nor with encryption which is some kind of  
un-documented, no?
