Thanks, Andy. Every time I have someone come to me with VSS backup failures, I point them to the MS document for VSS fixes/patches. So far it has always fixed their problem.

See the "-nojournal" option. In general, I would also recommend using Open File Support with VSS as the snapshot provider. For Windows 2003 systems, be sure that the COM+ and VSS hotfixes listed as pre-requisites in the client requirements document are installed. This document can be found by going to the URL in my sig and looking at in the "Featured links" section of that page.
