Richard, It seems this has become an issue since upgrading the server and clients from 5.3 to 5.4. It appears now to be a Windows problem, as the errors occur independently of TSM activity, when attempting to query the VSS writers using the vssadmin utility. I will pursue it accordingly. Thanks for your response, Adam

We don't have context on your problem, as in whether this is a new client deployment, or an older client with an unchanged configuration whose backups worked before; or what you've investigated (TSM error log, Windows Event Log, VSS state, etc.).
