Vss writers failed and timed out with symantec backup exec and cloud based
My backups are failing, and when running vssadmin, it shows most of my writers are in a failed state. I rebooted the server and they are still appearing. I have two backup solutions, backup exec 12.5, and a cloud based backup. originally it was an issue with conflict times, however these have been changed so jobs don't run on top of each other, but I still have this issue. the results of vssadmin:
