VSS Snapshot Warning
I get the following exception on every backup when it gets to the system state. The backup then takes a very long time at this point as well:
==================================
EXCEPTION
==================================
Backup- System?State
VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\system32\drivers\halfinch.sys is not present on the snapshot. VSS Snapshot warning. File c:\windows\inf\oem18.inf is not present on the snapshot.
==================================
Thanx!
See this article:

A workaround that is not mentioned in the article is as follows:
Create a blank text file with the exact same name and location as the files reported to not be in the snapshot. Then the file will exist, and the backup will be happy. As far as I can tell it's a bug in how BE 12.x talks to the VSS service on Server 2008.
