I guess there may not enough space left for the shadow copies to be created
when Networker backup is performing backup of savesets under S:\ drive.
Now, that you have changed storage location of the VSS snapshots of S:\
drive to X:\ drive, have you checked taking backup of savesets from S:\
drive? I think it will work now.
