Cause

There is a known issue in VSS functionality of MS SQL 2005, which is fixed in later a service pack. Or the VSS provider is broken and needs to be re-registered.

Solution

1. Make sure you have the latest MS SQL service packs installed for all instances on the machines.
2. Re-register the VSS provider using following batch file:
   
   (!) Do not attempt this solution on Windows 2008 R2 or newer operating systems
   
   (!) We recommend doing a partition backup before re-registering the VSS components.
   1. Download and unpack this file: reregistervss.zip;
   2. Go to Start -> Run -> cmd -> OK;
   3. Run the batchfile.
