The scheduled jobs for the backup operation are created, but they are not working. The task is started, but it finishes after some seconds raising an error.In event viewer I see the following message just after the backup process being started alert:3041 :BACKUP failed to complete the command BACKUP DATABASE [master] TO VIRTUAL_DEVICE='{CF337E21-B258-42F8-A45D-14E0DA80D938}1' WITH SNAPSHOT,BUFFERCOUNT=1,BLOCKSIZE=1024The same message appears for each database in my MSDE server instance.The ntbackup.exe logfile shows this error:Volume shadow copy creation: Attempt 1."MSDEWriter" has reported an error 0x800423f4.
