Odd VSS error that has no documentation

Benjamin_Hendri
Level 3
Last night's backup of a Windows Server 2003 SP1 volume threw a VSS error (located at the bottom of this post) that turns up nothing on this site or google.

AOFO is not conigured on the scheduled job, and the job completed successfully with verification.

Version: 10.1 rev: 5629

Any ideas?
