Hi 
Rebooting the machine sometimes works!
If I run the scheduled backup manually it works! But fails if scheduled 

I added this batch file before the backup runs 

----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
net stop "Volume Shadow Copy"
net start "Volume Shadow Copy"

Net stop "VMware VSS Writer"
Net start "VMware VSS Writer"

vssadmin delete shadows /ALL
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------


Listed below are the writers
