Ace,

Thanks for checking in on me and I apologize for not mentioning that
I did try what you suggested. When I removed the one key that you
suggested and attempted to re-boot the machine wouldn't shut down. I
had to physically turn it off and then back on. When the machine
re-booted I ran the command as recommended and all passed with "No
Errors". I attempted a Backup (which by the way has always been
successful) and received the same error. Upon checking the registry
the subscriptions key no longer exists. I deleted it, and it never
re-created it.

Thanks again for your help. Any more suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!


I assume this machine was not cloned without being sysprepped.

Any services disabled?

What EventIDs are being generated?
It could also be simply a driver issue. Was anything updated recently?

Is the volume you are trying to backup an OEM created volume? Not sure if it
will apply, but take a look at the following link:

I know it doesn't apply to your case, but there's a hotfix for Windows 2003
VSS. There may be one not publicly released for 2008.

Sorry I can't think of anything else. Possibly get Microsoft PSS involved.
If you do, I would be curious of the cause and resolution they provide.

Ace,

This machine was never cloned. Not because of this issue, but because we
are going to replace the motherboard in the machine and switch to a different
RAID setup I will be reinstalling the OS. So I'll let you know if I get the
same problem on the new OS. Thanks for the help.
