NTBackup Hangs at Shadow Copy

Having a real real nightmare with this now.
My backups just wont run on my Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server.
I go to create a normal backup using the wizard on NTBackup, then when I set
it to run it just hangs on "Preparing Shadow Copy", hangs the NTBackup app,
cranks the processor to 50% and thats it. I had a real issue the other day
when 5 backup schedules all did this during a day and ramped the processor to
100% for hours.
I've tried searching the net for solutions to this but its hard due to the
nature of the error. Logs are empty in the backup logs, Event Viewer shows
the Backup "Begin" event then nothing. Scheduled task viewer hasn't had
errors in there for a while because I'm trying to solve the problem from the
wizard not the sched tasks.
I just dont know what to do now. The Volume Shadow service seems to be the
culprit but I need Shadow Copy to backup open files. The service is set to
manual and stopped when i checked services. So i assume it just gets called
for when backup time comes.
This is my main file server and with no backups going on - i'm worried as
you can imagine. My only other solution is to use NTBackup from the Storage
server and pull data back but that seems to take longer than it did to push
backups from the file server.
Any help is really appreciated - I'm in a dangerous situation at the moment.
Cheers.
