The OS owner sent me this.  Any suggestions on how to narrow down / resolve
this?  My thought was to have them push for W2K8 R2  but I know there are
some applications that have issues with R2.

*The PentanaPAWS servers are both having issues with backing up the system
data.  Restarting the VSS services sometimes fixes the issue but it’s never
a finalize solution.  Do you have any insight on what can be done to fix
this problem?  I have attached the dsmerror.log.  To temporary fix the
issue, I have been restarting the VSS services having issues but it’s only
a temporary fix.  Upgrading the TSM client to 7.1.1.0 didn’t fix the
problem.*
