TSM backup problem ANS2079E error scanning snapshot

I am deploying new windows 2008R2 servers in production.
Servers will be used for file servers.
I installed TSM client 6.2.4.7.
TSM server is 5.5. According to the TSM documentation tsm server and client is compatible.
After installation I used the wizard to configure client scheduler and journal services.
The problem is that backup jobs failed with the following error: NS2079E Error processing '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy51': error scanning snapshot

## vssadmin list writers shows that all writers are stable and there isn't any error on them,
Any idea how to fix the probelm?

Hi Dedri,
i believe the problem is in processing folder testTempViewerDir located in c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Event Viewer\.
I really don't know what is that directory for, but you may want to try and exclude that directory from backups and try the incremental backup again.
Chances are that if tsm client won't be stopped at that time, it will go on creating the failed snapshot.

hope this helps

I've already excluded it from one of  the servers and I am still receiving the error message
ANS2079E Error processing '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy51': error scanning snapshot

Do I need  VSS for systemstate backup.
Could the problem be somehow related to journal service that I also configure?
On all of my application servers I just install tsm client shedulere and I don't install journal service.

10x for the reply.
Last night I removed VSS  through the Backup  Setup GUI wizard, and today backups are completed successful for both servers.
As I seen from the log systemstate backup is also completed successful.
There are couple of  error message today regarding backup of user profile of the account that is logged,not a big deal :
ANS4987E Error processing '\\hqfs2\c$\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat': the object is in use by another process
How do you handle this errors in your environment?
I also spotted this errors in a couple of other servers.
