Hi there,
We have a sbs 2008 SP2 server. the backup (the inbuild windows one) has been failing for the last few days. when looking into it i have found that the fault could lay with the vss writers. I went into cmd and ran the vssadmin list writers and got this
C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin list writers
vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative comma

Waiting for responses.
These may be delayed if a shadow copy is being prepared.
