    Hi,

     

    You can either restart the server which will reset the VSS writers, but then you need downtime.

    Alternatively, check the TN below and reregister the VSS *.dlls.

    Unfortunately, since your VSS writers are already in error, running a backup job without AOFO is effectively a waste of time as you found out!

    Thanks!
