I would start with looking to disable antivirus if you have it, you usually see this error in relation to backups taking place and not able to run. Check the application event logs also to see if you can find more related error messages or others that might lead to this like error about backups not running, or anitvirus unable to scan a file.:P Advice offered, If you need more help it is advised to seek the council and advice of paid professionals. The answer is always 42, or reboot.

Hi, It seems that the issue was caused by the missing SQL Server related registry, SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VSS\Diag\SqlServerWriter. Please verify and import it from another working SQL Server or stop SQL Server writer to check the result. You may also submit a new question to SQL Server forum which is the best resource for SQL Server related issue for further assistance. SQL Server http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/sqlserver/ In addition, I also would like to suggest you test the issue in Clean Boot to check if there is any third party software conflict. For the detailed steps, please refer to the following Microsoft KB article: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article: Event ID 8193 — Volume Shadow Copy Service Operations http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee264196(WS.10).aspx Regards, Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
