What exactly are the errors?

I will say that we use Flashbackup on Windows extensively and
exclusively with VSS, and have had to install several VSS patches-
especially on clustered systems.  When it's patched and properly
configured, it works like a champ.  We can't survive without it.

6 servers I see ntfs errors in the event logs right when the backup
starts. If I force the policy to use VSP as opposed to VSS then the
issue goes away, however using VSP creates snapshot errors so I'd rather
use VSS. Here is what I can tell you:
