We have an SBS2008 installation, which has a backup task. It creates a backup twice a day onto external storage. This worked for a long time.

But the backup can't be performed now. The last valid backup was before some Exchange updates, SBS Update Rollup 8 and SharePoint updates were installed.

The only error in Event Logs is for VSS (the Volume Shadow Service), which I only have in German.

Things I've done:

restart the server
chkdsk /r /f for all volumes
restart the VSS service
googling
manual backup

Nothing's helped.

How can I set up the backup again?
