When I have seen problems with backups of ASR before, it has coincided with
the Logical Disk Manager service being stuck in a state of 'Stopping'. In
this case, the problem backing up the ASR information will generally be
accompanied by DCOM time-out errors in the system event log.

With the Logical Disk Manager service in this state, there may also be
repeating PlugPlayManager time-out errors in the System Event Log. Killing
the dmadmin.exe process will generally cure the problem. You can verify
this by performing a DSMC BACKUP ASR.

Microsoft KB article #924390 describes a scenario in which this may occur.
