Hello All,

We are receiving the following error message in a dsmerror.log on a Windows 2003 client. I know it’s a Microsoft Volume Shadow copy issue I just need help on possible solutions Or areas to investigate. Is this error familiar to anyone? I did a search on this an found a hit from 10/24/06 (which I found interesting because these errors started showing up in our clients dsmerror.log around 10/24/07) Anyway there were no replies to that post
possibly due to it not being a TSM issue?
