Hi Paul

here is the info on the sql server from 1-12-13

I am using SSMS maint plans to back up databases right now

Does that use vss writer service ?

I looked at the info on the url and that pertains to vss writer so that is why

I am asking the above question.

I see this type of error in my logs which is similar to the (Error messages) in the url:

2013-01-12 10:06:28.41 spid94 Error: 18210, Severity: 16, State: 1.
