It worked that one time, but the next time a scheduled backup ran, it again didn't work. At least I know why now: I am running seven VMWare virtual machines but only have one host. The host also acts as director and SD. The server I was backing up is in one of the VMs and was simply overloaded, and the VSS writer timed out. The NTBackup log shows error 0x80042319. During my nightly backups, everything slows down to a crawl.
