The writer status

[Tomas_Munk_Jens]

When I try to backup the mailserver, mailstore, mailbox, public folder, then I get this error. It seems like it's a problem with the volume snapshot.

As this is a MS VSS writer issue, Microsoft has a hotfix for VSS that may fix this error message:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;833167

[DOS_2_11]

MS KB Article 833167 also doesn't fix the problem. Any more ideas? I have also tried registering this DLL: OLE32.DLL which was suggested as a fix on experts-exchange.com
