Recently we have moved some of servers from real servers- into virtual servers. Since then, we are getting errors like the following:
Error category : Resource ErrorsError : e000fed1 – A failure occurred querying the Writer status.
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-57344-65233
This is happening on the virtual servers and also the real servers now.
Looked on google and found some information- like running "vssadmin list writers" however none of these are showing an error.

BE 11d is quite notoriously flaky with VSS, in my experience. There are a few things you can do here:
net start
the 2 services mentioned above.Also, where are you running your
vssadmin list writers
on? The backup server or the servers being backed up? If you haven't run it on the servers being backed up yet, do so now, and if any writer gives an error try to identify the service(s) associated with the writer(s) in question (Google will help) and restart them to clear the error.
