    I am having this issue as well with a newly installed WHS 2011 server and my Windows 7 Enterprise machine.

    I only want to backup my C: to start with which is a 120GB SSD.

    I get the same error and only get:

    C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin list providers
    vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool
    (C) Copyright 2001-2005 Microsoft Corp.

    Provider name: 'Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider 1.0'
       Provider type: System
       Provider Id: {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}
       Version: 1.0.0.7

    My event log says:

    Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface.  hr = 0x80070005, Access is denied.
    . This is often caused by incorrect security settings in either the writer or requestor process. 

    Operation:
       Gathering Writer Data

    Context:
       Writer Class Id: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
       Writer Name: System Writer
       Writer Instance ID: {4b76855f-fc55-477d-bd90-30882b4a96e5}

    And then it times out and repeats the same error until it fails.

    Also, here is a link to my error:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734235(v=ws.10).aspx

    It says to use the command: vssadmin list writers and determine which has the error. However that command reports NO errors. In that case the technet article says:

    "If the command reports that all writers are operating without errors, this means that the error condition is not writer-related. In this case, you should contact the backup software vendor that created the VSS requester application."

    :D

    That would be Microsoft I believe lol.

    Other programs of note on my computer which may be storage related:

    =Microsoft Security Essentials (no other antivirus ever installed)

    =SkyDrive App

    =Google Drive App  / Google Music Sync

    =Virtual Clone Drive

    Also, not sure if its relevant but I have 7 hard drives currently attached, two of them USB.

    I can go through detaching all my drives one by one and uninstalling all of those apps... before that, was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Again, I only want to backup C for now.

    Could someone move this to the WHS 2011 forum. Seems I posted in the wrong place >.>

    Actually could someone just hit me over the head with a hammer instead?

    It seems Windows Home Server 2011 does not support backing up GPT disks (which Windows by default partitioned my drive as when I installed) so I'm basically completely out of luck unless I want to reinstall Windows on my computer. And since my machine has UEFI, I don't even know if it would work.

    It wouldn't. 

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
