Sounds like you need to re-register your VSS writers, you can do this on the problematic servers by using the following commands ;
Stop the "Volume Shadow Copy Service"
1. Open a command prompt and change to \windows\system32
2. net stop vss
Stay in your command prompt in the system32 directory
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Start the VSS service
This fixes 90% of all VSS issues

This is the Solution:
Perform the steps below on the system showing the event errors above. Make sure that this is not caused by the Microsoft provider as deleting the registry key for that will cause all VSS to stop functioning and Microsoft will need to be contacted to resolve.
1. Open the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> enter "regedit", hit enter)
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
2. Navigate to the entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
3. (optional) Right-click on the entry with the GUID referenced in the event log and export it to a file so there is a backup.
4. Delete the tree with the GUID referenced in the event log.
5. (optional but recommended) Open the Command Prompt with administrator rights (Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator) and enter: vssadmin delete shadows /all to clean up any dead VSS snapshots that may be slowing down the machine
6. Reboot
