try manually installing the backward compatibilty tools from the CD.
I installed from a internet download and do not have the CD. Is this a particular download name or component I should be looking for?
this said, having the same software on the same OS and so on, why would only one of them not doing so well with VDI anymore?
Thanks!

exactly what I found ...SQLServer2005_BC.msi
well I installed it and restarted all SQL services.
But I am still getting the very same error in the log when trying to backup that DB

what does the following query return on the server you are having problems on?
select @@servername
it sounds as though the sql instance cannot be verified and hence it thinks no service is running for that instance. Possibly as a result of installing\uninstalling sql server.
What keys are present in the registry for sql server at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance Names

I would not know what and how about select commands used.
Basically I have my backup agent Data Protector (HP) that backs up the SQL DB on those servers (updated to 2005 at the same time, see first post).
One of them is fine and the other one complains about SQLVDI.
Anyway, this is what I find.
On both servers I have :
C:\>reg query "HKLM\software\microsoft\microsoft sql server\instance names\SQL"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\microsoft sql server\instance names\SQL
WHATSUP REG_SZ MSSQL.1
