I'm trying to backup my Windows SBS 2008 (only C:) with Windows Server Backup.
It fails a few minutes after it started:
Backup started at '08/12/2009 1:27:23 PM' failed as Volume Shadow copy operation failed for backup volumes with following error code '2155348022'. Please rerun backup once issue is resolved.
In the EventViewer i have lots of error :
VSS : 12289
SQLVDI : 1
MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE : 18210
MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE : 3041
SQLWRITER : 24583
All VSS ans SQL services are started. I have WSUS 3.0, Exchange 07.
I don't have any third party backup software running at the same time.

Do you have multiple partitions and if so, does the backup fail on those other non-system partitions?
Was SBS 2008 installed from the factory? In other words, is it an OEM installation? It's possible that the system partition is not marked as active. Have a look at this TechNet posting and see if you're willing to try the suggested fix: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/d5daada2-b78b-4935-bd9e-80726c26c4a8/
