The operation did not successfully complete.
The backup is to a USB drive over a network.
What are my options. I've read about having startup files interfere, so here' s a screen of msconfig

VSS service is set to Local Account.
This is a Windows Server 2003 SP2 with most if not latest windows updates.
Backup usually goes for about 10-15 minutes before its halted.
Is this fixable?
