Question : Problem: Backup Exec giving errors and failing

I am running Veritas Backup Exec V10.0 and am getting the following error message:

Backup- SVR-LN-DC
AOFO: Initialization failure on: "Shadow?Copy?Components". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
VSS Snapshot error. The Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot failed. Make sure that all provider services and tasks are running. Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.

After checking under the Windows Event viewer I find the following 2 errors:

I have has Shadow Copy running for the past 4/5 days without any problems to the backup.

Thanks
