Thanks, Andy.

Every time I have someone come to me with VSS backup failures, I point them to 
the MS document for VSS fixes/patches.  So far it has always fixed their 
problem.

you do this?  See the "-nojournal" option.  In general, I would also recommend 
using Open File Support with VSS as the snapshot provider. For Windows 2003 
systems, be sure that the COM+ and VSS hotfixes listed as pre-requisites in the 
client requirements document are installed. This document can be found by going 
to the URL in my sig and looking at in the "Featured links" section of that 
page.  Best regards,  Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager
