SQL Backup issues / Operating system error 995

SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2 have this problem according to some pages. These are areas for you to check, though I am unsure of the technology you are using.

Some other entries that seem to cluster around the problem can be found below.

  1. Troubleshooting VSS Writer issues
  2. How to troubleshoot "Msg 3041" in SQL Server

And an example from a specific vendor, Commvault:

  1. SQL backup failing with SQLQUERY Failure or VDITimeout

I do not have specific experience with this, but I see a few posts that have not been answered successfully, so just pointing you to other resources.
