A failure occured querying the writer status

Dear all,

 

I am having the following situation:

I have one Symantec Backup Management server then i take backups of different servers.

I am using backup exec 2012 and windows server 2003

On the management server which runs the backup exec server utility  i get the following error:

Error category    : Resource ErrorsError             : e000fed1 - A failure occurred querying the Writer status.

 

This error comes up on the Shadow?Copy?Components part.

 

 

If i do a vss admin list writers the wmi writer fails(on the "client agent" server):

Writer name: 'WMI Writer'
   Writer Id: {a6ad56c2-b509-4e6c-bb19-49d8f43532f0}
   Writer Instance Id: {4723e94a-3eb2-4024-9c3f-36e072b15714}
   State: [9] Failed
   Last error: Retryable error

 

I already restarted the server and already tried reregistering the dll's.

Then no error shows up but the first time i do a backup again the error occurs again.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

WKR
