Article ID: 940349 Fixed my issue! Thank you!!!This did not become a problem until I installed Backup Exec System Recovery on this system. It was using 8.0 flawlessly with VSS. 8.5 certainly needs this rollup. I just upraded a second server to BESR 8.5. Same issue... I just applied this rollup. Hopefully it will be resolved again!Thank you all very much for taking the time to help!Scott
