Running backup exec 12.5 on a Windows 2003 server running SQL2008. Backups were working fine until last week. I started getting this error message from Backup Exec
- AOFO: Initialization failure on: "E:". Advanced Open File Option used: Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS).
V-79-10000-11253 - Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) snapshot provider returned the error: "Catastrophic failure". To make sure that the VSS is not disabled and can be started, click Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools. Open the Services, and start Volume Shadow Copy. Check the Windows Event Viewer for details.
I have followed the link over to this webpage for the direction on how to fix this problem.

I have done the first 2 fixed listed on the webpage, with not luck. The last one is to verify a few things and the one I cannot verify is vsp.sys being loaded. So I'm I look at a reinstall of BE 12.5 or do I just need to find vsp.sys and place it in the right directory?
Thanks
