You can try explicitly selecting the Microsoft VSS provider. Edit your job and under AOFO, click on the third option and select the Microsoft provider fromt the drop-down.

Hello Jay,
Check the status of your writers by running vssadmin list writers from the command prompt ?
also check for errors in windows events during the time the backup runs to help determine what may be causing a conflict.
There are a number of reasons this error occurs
