    VSS Writer Errors on SBS2008

    Hi,

    I'm getting multiple VSS Writer errors in my event log every [continuous] incremental scheduled event. 

    When I perform a vssadmin list writers except for the NTDS writer they are all "Stable", "No Errors".  NTDS is State:  [11] Failed, "Non-retryable error".

     The event log entries are the same except for the fact they appear for each VSS Writer in the system. 

    The 64 dollar question is do I trust the images created?

    Event log below

    Should have stated in op that SP shows continuous incrementals as completed but the above errors are filling up my application event log.
