SBS2003 Backup using Storagecraft Shadowprotect fails

Hi all,
I have an SBS 2003 Server with two Partitions C & D backing up to a USB Drive each night.

I backup using Storagecrafts Shadowprotect software

C = Operating System
D = Data

D drive backs up every night will out a problem. C Keeps failing to backup though.

Heres the log:

What were you using to backup the server before using Storeage Craft. If it was Acronis you need to remove the Acronis virtual loader.

Acronis has never been installed on this server.
