I've got 8 windows 2003 systems standard running. 3 of the 8 server
experiance the next problem: If i try to backup the system state, the server
freeze. The only solution to get the server back to work, is power down and
then power up the server. There's no logging in the event- or system log. I
als try'd a microsoft article to reregister the VSS components, but this was
not the solution for mine problem. I try'd to make a backup whit the NTBackup
util and try'd the backup-exec application. Both failed. I als listed the VSS
writers by command 'vssadmin list writers'. There are no errors reported in
that list. The OS is up-to-date. Who can help me? What can i do?

I had the same problem using NTbackup on SBS2k3 and found that a BIOS
update fixed the problem...
