    As Rohit has highlighted...if any of the VSS writers are in an "error" state..it is likely that you'll have problems backing up the Shadow Copy Components. To resolve this you'll have to re-register the VSS writers(on the client giving issues) and reboot the server. Once done verify(by running the "vssadmin list writers") that none of the writers are in "error" status and try running the backup again.
