VSS:*=OFF works with pre-2008 windows clients. The NetWorker client on Windows 2008 systems ignores that setting. EMC doesn't even remember that and suggested turning VSS off for an issue just last week with a Windows 2008 client.

I am glad I am not the only one who has seen this error. The only way to get 
the files to backup are to disable the VSS stuff. I add this to my client 
definitions (VSS:*=off). This makes legato ignore the VSS stuff. The physical 
drives need to be defined for the client in question so you have to change the 
All to the drives (i.e. C: D: E:). Once I did this I can backup all windows 
clients with no errors and we can restore any files off the physical drives.
