May be the VSS writers are not registered properly. Try running this command "vssadmin list writers" and make sure all the writers are stable. And are you using microsoft vss writers or some other vendor.

Dear Rusty,

I am heaving this issue, But it is intermittent.  In my case it is
happening only during the weekly Full Backup.

My Master/Media Server = Linux (Redhat 5.4)
My Client = Windows 2003 SP2.
This is a Windows File Server with capacity of 1.2 TB. This server is
running on VM.

I have logged this case with support but they could not conclude the root
cause. As we are not getting any error on the OS side.

With Warm Regards

First, don't bother using VSP. It has known issues and eventually goes away
in version 7.x.

In addtion to all the other suggestions, take a look at the Windows Event
Log for any VSS errors.

Hi,

Please try what I noted below, also show media, master and client logs with
VERBOSE=5 or the max in windows respectively, show/check the bptm, bpbkar
logs and paste the error here.
