Error category : System ErrorsError : e0008527 - VERITAS Storage Foundation for Windows (VSFW) unexpectedly failed. Check that the VSFW service is running, and check the status of existing disk groups and volumes.

Are you getting this error when trying to backup Shadow Copy Components?

If you are - there is most probably an issue with VSS on the server you are trying to backup.

from a cmd prompt - do a vssadmin list writers - they should come back as stable and no errors.

Also do a test using Ntbackup from the server backing up the System State - make sure this works - if it doesn't BE will not work as well.

Check out the Application and System logs for any errors around the time the error in BE happens.

Do you have Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows aka Volume Manager installed on your machine?

This error message is related to that software. Check wether the service vxsvc.exe for that software is up and running.

Hope this helps.
