Backups are failing with Timedout errors
Hello All
We have few clients which are failing with timed out errors and after I see the logs it looks like VSS errors , when I am checking with my windows team they were not doing anything and we just run on demand backup which is getting completed successfully. here my concern is why the scheduled backups are failing with VSS errors and after that On demand backups are completing .
My Avamar version is 7.0
Clients are Windows 2008
I have already raised a case with EMC guys last 4 days back but no one has contacted me , even I am worried now for that if that is a case how EMC Support people will support for any critical issues

Hello Srinivas,
You should be contacted by EMC support engineer soon. Meanwhile could you please post here complete error message. VSS errors are very common on windows machine. Complete error message would be helpful to investigate in right direction.
