It looks like others are having this same problem that might be due to a vss writer not working properly.
Go to Start/Run cmd
Type in vssadmin list writers
All writers should be listeded with the state as Stable. If you have one that is not listed as stable and temporary fix is to restart and rerun the backup. The other solution is to dig in and see what happened with your server's o/s changes. This can be quite involved.
Here is a link to the information I found regardong others who had the same problem.
