I am seeing this error, when backing up one of my Win2008 clients: (NW 
7.6.2)

* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 1 retry attempted
  admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\: No full backups of this save set were 
found in the media database; performing a full backup
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 82435:save: Ignoring global directives 
for the Disaster Recovery backup.
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 82720:save: Disaster Recovery backup is 
enabling hard link and 8.3 shortname settings.
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 83241:save: ERROR: No System Writer 
present for DR processing. Cannot continue.
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 77775:save: Processing completed for 
disaster recover backup.
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 80520:save: ASR Backup..Critical error 
creating snapshot of ASR critical volumes and cannot continue.
* admnsam004:DISASTER_RECOVERY:\ 83449:save: Error occured while saving 
critical volumes.
     * <ERROR> :  Failed with error(s)

How can there be no System Writer present for DR processing? Isn't the 
System Writer that it is trying to use a built-in writer?

The other savesets backup fine:

* admnsam004:ALL savefs admnsam004: succeeded.
  admnsam004: D:\                   level=1,       180 MB 00:01:21    134 
files
  admnsam004: C:\                   level=1,       344 MB 00:01:18    971 
files

Anyone seen anything like this? My other Win2008 clients (a couple dozen) 
do not exhibit this error).
