SSR2003 Error E4F3000B PreSnap failed on volume

I am getting an error message trying to backup a Windows 2003 server

Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of System (C:\).
    Error E4F3000B: PreSnap failed on volume  . (UMI:V-281-3215-6071)

Details: 
Source: Symantec System Recovery

It has shadow copies configured on drive C with 5537MB and limit of 10000MB

What is the correct way to fix this?

    Yup multiple consecutive reboots.

    Also chek if you have a third party backup software n change the schedule if the one is clashing with SSR.

    Check vssadmin list writers prior running the backup n while running the backups. No should show as failed.

    run chkdsk /r /f and disk defrag.
